Beta Strep Does anyone know Why?

I have 2 kids and one on the way and all of my kids I have tested Neg. for Beta Strep however when I had my daughter she had it but not I. I just saw the obgyn yesterday and he told me that my test was neg. again this time with my son and I told him that my daughter had it but I didn't when she was born he told me that I needed antibodics when I go into labor with my son (soon I hope been a very long pregnancy for me) is this a precaution step that is taken when they find out the child has beta but not the Mom?

    Most likely this is just a precaution. If you are really curious though, ask your doctor why at your next appt.
