Group B Strep

I’ve been tested (and positive) - nothing to worry about, affects 20-40% of women and you just need IV antibiotics during labour so that baby doesn’t get infected

I asked the midwife about testing as my sister in law had it and her and baby needed antibiotics she said nhs don’t do it as you could be positive and on the day of birth negative vice versa . I’ve not bothered looking further into it

Which article?

I've done a hell of a lot of reading about GBS and decided even if I had the testing, and even if I was positive, I wouldn't have the antibiotics. The chances of it negatively affecting your baby are so so so so small.

There's some really good evidence here https://www.sarawickham.com/research-updates/gbs-screening/

I had GBS confirmed after my urine sample at the booking appt
...I also had it last birth, I'll be having the anti bs during birth, good to do the appropriate research so you can decide xx
