A member asked:
I am 40+4 weeks pregnant and gbs positive, i lost my mucus plug yesterday, im worried about baby getting infection, is it only when water breaks i need to be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, protection sac: As long as the bag of water is intact the risk of infection is minimal. However, if you start to leak fluid vaginally contact your OB MD immediately as the bag of water may be leaking amniotic fluid raising your risk of infection.
