Hi all, my wife's second pregnancy has been cruising along well. She's about 10 weeks pregnant now, eating quite Peatish, apart from sourdough bread.
She got a letter today from her doctor saying she had streptococcus group B in her urine, so had to take a course of penicillin now to clear it up (and prevent a possible UTI) and then an IV drip with antibiotics during labour. Does anyone have any experience with or know anything about GBS (strep group B)?
I would really appreciate any advice. I'm quite worried about the impact of antibiotics during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester, and on my wife's gut health. Could it even be a beneficial thing, rebalancing her estrogen and progesterone ratio? Are there any risks of genetic abnormalities caused by penicillin?
Thanks for your help.
