unfortunatly hun you will be,my neice has 2 young ones,2 yrs apart,and she was a carrier on the second pregnancy aswell i went to the docs with her,on one occasion,and i asked if this will stay with her,during any other pregnancys and was told she would be a carrier!.

This is something you should ask your OBGYN Dr!. A friend of mine had it with her first pregnancy and didn't have it with the other two!. Some test positive and need to take antibiotics to prevent the baby from getting it!. If the mother doesn't test positive for it then she is unlikely to be a carrier for it!. You should get a test from your dr!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hi,
there's no such a permenant carrier for GBS!. Somehow people who used to have GBS tests neg, nobody knows how but it happens!. the safest thing to do is to get tested around week 34-37, it's a simple test and the treatment is simple!. just IV anti-biotics during delivery and you can prevent serious complications that could happen to your baby!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
