A member asked:

Do i need to be induced because i'm already gbs positive according to my urine in this pregnancy? do they induce if my water breaks and i don't progress? i'm 10 weeks along and want no induction if i can avoid it.

GBS is not relevant: GBS is not relavent for induction - but if you break your water - you get antibiotics and you get augmented - as breaking your water means you are in labor.
