A member asked:

Im 39 weeks pregnant and i had contractions last night. i went to the er and they said i have a uti and gave me medicine but i have gbs should i take?

Talk to your OB: If you have a UTI you should take an antibiotic regardless of your GBS status. I would recommend talking to your OB before taking the antibiotic just to be sure he/she wants you to take that particular one.
