I've just ordered one of these as I heard they were a good idea but I am having an ELCS.
I can't find anywhere online whether there is still a risk to the baby if born by section. I'm thinking that there isn't but the test is £30 so it's not a huge amount to spend if there's any chance he could be infected.
Section is 2 weeks tomorrow so I need to decide fast Smile

There's not much risk with a section as the baby isn't in contact with you has much, but you could go into labour before your csection date

Have a look at FAQ 30 and 31 gbss.org.uk/who-we-are/about-gbs/what-is-gbs/faqs/
