The GBS swab is a simple swab done in later pregnancy to test for GBS. If positive your OBGYN or midwife will likely recommend antibiotics during labor to protect your baby from a GBS infection. The swab is super quick and easy and usually done at a prenatal appointment around 36 weeks of pregnancy! #GBS #pregnancycare #pregnancytips #expectingmom #firsttimemom #pregnancyjourney | Mama Nurse Tina
