How serious is GBS?
GBS can cause bladder infections and uterine infections for the mother. In serious cases GBS can cause meningitis, sepsis, pneumonia or result in stillbirth of the newborn.
==> GBS bisa menyebabkan infeksi saluran kencing, infeksi rahim pada ibu. untuk bayi, bisa menyebabkan meningitis, pneumonia atau bahkan kematian dalam rahim
If I test positive for GBS does that mean my baby is going to get it also? No. Approximately 1 out of every 200 babies who are born to mothers who carry GBS will become ill. However, there are certain symptoms that put a mother at a higher risk than others.
==> kalau ibu positif, anak belum tentu positif. hanya 1 dari 200 anak akan terjangkit dari ibunya.
What can I do to prevent my baby from getting GBS disease? Intravenous antibiotics (antibiotics given through IV) are recommended during delivery to reduce the chance of your baby becoming sick. It is recommended that antibiotics are given once labor has begun and every 4 hours during active labor until baby is delivered.
==> cara mencengah anak terkena GBS, dengan antibiotik suntik selama melahirkan. suntikan diberikan mulai dari awal melahirkan hingga anak lahir.
Do I have to take antibiotics, or is there a natural alternative? It is your choice if you want to take antibiotics. There are certain herbal methods that you can take 2-3 weeks before delivery that a midwife or homeopathic physician can provide for you.
==> ada obat2 herbal untuk menyembuhkan GBS untuk yang tidak mau pakai antibiotik
If I am having a cesarean delivery, do I need to be treated for GBS? If you tested positive for GBS and labor has not begun ( including your water has not broken) than you do not need to be treated for GBS during delivery. If you are GBS positive, your water has been broken and/or labor has begun, most health care providers will still require you to be treated for GBS even if you are having a cesarean delivery.
==> caranya menghindari bayi terjangkit adalah dengan operasi caesar. tapi kalau ketuban sudah terlanjur pecah, harus tetap diterapi obat walau kelahiran dilakukan scr caesar.
If I had a positive group b strep culture done early in pregnancy, will they test me again? The latest recommendation from the CDC states that if a woman has a positive culture anytime during the current pregnancy, she will not need to be re screened and will automatically need to be treated with antibiotics during labor.
==> kalau sudah positif di awal kehamilan, otomatis positif sampai ketika kelahiran dan perlu diterapi. tidak perlu tes ulang ketika trimester dua atau tiga.
Can a woman who tests positive take oral antibiotics before delivery? Treating the mother with oral antibiotics during the pregnancy may decrease the amount of GBS for a short time, but it will not eliminate the bacteria completely and will leave the baby unprotected at birth. Also, waiting to treat the baby with antibiotics after birth is often too late to prevent illness if the baby is at high risk for contracting it.
==> minum antibiotik selama kehamilan akan mengurangi bakteri dalam waktu sebentar tapi tidak menghilangkan seluruhnya, dan akan membuat bayi rentan ketika kelahiran.
Are antibiotics safe for the baby? Penicillin (Category B) is commonly used during pregnancy in non-allergic patients. There are substitute drugs for those who are allergic to penicillin, but they could still experience an allergic reaction. It is best to discuss the pros and cons with your health care provider.
==> obat yang diberikan untuk GBS adalah suntikan penicillin, dan biasanya aman untuk orang yang tidak alergi. untuk yang alergi penicillin, ada efek sampingnya dan perlu didiskusikan dengan dokter untuk pro dan kontra pemberian antibiotik tsb.
