After the birth of my son by ecs I was still in and out of hosp with severe pains. found group b strep on placenta about a week after. since then ive had 3 early mc docs dont want to know and im scared that the gbs has done some permanant damage it took us 6 years tc. has anyone else had similar probs?

GBS was discovered when I was in labour with my first son, antibiotics given and all was ok, same story with second son. This year I've had 2 m/c in 4 months, and have investigations re blood tests etc, but GBS hasn't been identified as a possible cause.
Hope this helps, I would be interested to hear more from other people

I found a doc in us called dr toth, he has some great case studies I printed this out to show my gp and now I'm just waiting for blood tests. I know what you mean tho. the most frightening thing for me is just not knowing if its something I've done or something that happened at the hospital. studieswww.fertilitysolution.com/strep.htm#assoc

I am GBS positive and have antibiotics in labour for both my pregnancies but between DS1 & DS2 i had 6 consecutive miscarriages. I can't help much as i don't know why i had them and if the GBS was anything to do with it luckily after the 6th m/c i concieved DS2 and went on to have a healthy pregnancy.

I hope you get this sorted.
