Evening

Im 30 wks with 3rd DC.
Im getting so anxious about the birth.
Firstly with my previous 2 they had strep b and DS2 was poorly in SCUBU.
Whats worrying is that the midwives didnt pick up on it until 10 hours later
I was unable to have antibiotics as both my labours have been under 4 hours which is why im getting worried.

Can anyone reassure me or give me any advice on what will happen.

Thanks x

can't really give you any technical advice but just to let yoy know that dd2 was born 5 weeks ago and i only found out on return home that i was strep b positve.

she was then swabbed and found also to be positive but as she was healthy, feeding well and a week old decision was not to treat. she has so far been fine.

possibly they will test baby at birth, knowing your history?

Hi
There is a very informative thread from last week on strep b experiences.
