Rcs schedule. gbs +. ob says no antibiotics unless labor or water breaks. no risk to baby if mucus plug comes out? risk to baby w/o meds?

Doctor correct: The protocol for gbs treatment for repeat cesarean is only if labor or ruptured membranes prior to cesarean. You should get routine antibiotic prophylaxis before your surgery. Many doctors use cephazolin, which happens to have great coverage for gbs.
