Answers:

First of all, relax, you are fine. Let me explain something about our well know friend Group B streptococcus (also know in the nursery and OB office as GBS status, to refer whether the pregnant lady has strep in the cervix and therefore, before delivery has to be given antibiotic to protect the baby. That is it. The cervical invasion with GBS is treatable. It does not mean that you are pregnant, especially if you had protected sex. Do not stress out. Just continue your life as usual. Go to your appointments as everyone does. If you have any symptoms or you miss a period, you might want to check things out. Otherwise, relax and do not stress because "stress" can cause more problems. Take care.Health Question & Answer

You could be pregnant. Take a test to make sure.
