Hi I was first diagnosed as having GBS apporx 10 years ago when I saw a gynecologist about a short term period problem I had at that time. I am pregnant with my first child and told my midwife/hospital i'd had GBS in the past but they kep't saying don't worry you probably have not got it now as it can come and go, anyway they finally did a test and I do have GBS. I will be given antibiotics during labour. Does anyone know whether the antibiotics take away risk to newborn or should I be asking for a C Section? Any advice/information on this subject appreciated.
