Many women in the general population are carriers for a bacteria called group strep B Streptococcus. Normally carried in the vagina and/or lower intestine, it’s generally not harmful, except during pregnancy. When a pregnant woman is a carrier, she can pass on the bacteria to her infant during vaginal birth. The effects on the baby can be disastrous with problems ranging from problems with breathing to pneumonia and meningitis.
