That positive GBS test doesn’t have to send you into a spiral of anxiety and rushed decisions. Whether you're weeks away from your due date or still early in pregnancy, this episode is here to cut through the fear and give you real options grounded in truth.

Because here’s what most women aren’t told:
 GBS colonization begins in the gut.
 And your gut is something you can actually influence.

In this episode, I walk you through what GBS really is, how to understand your true level of risk, and how to support your body both before and after a positive test—naturally and holistically. You'll get the exact GBS support protocol I’ve used in my own pregnancies and shared with clients.

We cover:

• What GBS is really and how common it is
• What the actual statistics say (not the fear-based headlines)
• The risks of antibiotics during labor that no one talks about
• Why your microbiome matters more than you think
• My exact natural protocol for supporting the gut and vaginal flora
• How to have confident conversations with your provider if you test positive

I also share practical phrases you can use to advocate for yourself, and a much-needed reminder: you don’t need to be a microbiologist to ask questions and make a faithful, informed choice for you and your baby.

This episode is for you if:

• You’re pregnant and wondering what to do about GBS
• You’ve tested positive before and want a better plan this time
• You feel overwhelmed by hospital protocols and want to understand your real options
• You’re a crunchy, faith-filled mama who wants to prepare with peace and confidence

Remember: You are not being reckless for asking questions. You’re being a good mother. One who is willing to dig deep, discern well, and walk in faith—not fear.
