I tested positive for GBS in my last pregnancy, it was picked up in routine urine samples. I had the antibiotics in labour and all was fine. My midwife says they wouldn't offer me a test, if it's picked up in urine test again then fine, if not then they would presume all is fine. I can choose to be tested privately though. I've just briefly looked at the GBSS website and the private tests involve a home test and you have to swab yourself. Has anyone done it? Is it hard?! My worry is that by doing it myself I won't get an accurate result, or I won't believe that it is! I have a little while to decide, I'm 28 weeks now and tests have to be done between 35-37 weeks.
