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.

Solo = I don't remember that about the injections. You may also be kept in for obs (for baby) for a time after birth (i.e. longer than usual) we left about 36 hours after ds1 was born.
I then had an unplanned home birth for DS2 and all was well, but much better to be safe than sorry imho.
