Did you know that 1 in 4 pregnant people carry Group B Strep (GBS)? You might be wondering why we don’t hear about it until we’re pregnant? You may also be wondering if it’s dangerous, if there’s anything you can do to prevent it, and if you have it, how does it affect your and your baby’s care.

From screening, to symptoms, and treatment Dr. Randis covers everything you need to know to understand GBS. This episode sheds light and lots of answers on this little known but common condition.
