On a recent Facebook status I posted: "E-coli is now the leading cause of neonatal infection, NOT GBS!!! #ican2011"
Someone replied with this: "This very reason is why the UK stopped routinely giving antibiotics to GBS positive mothers, instead watching baby for signs ands symptoms or testing the blood looking for markers. They had to high of an increase in E-coli infections, which is so much more serious for these little babies."

I was tested negative for GBS at 38 weeks and my first little man still got it (born at 41 weeks) so Kelly is right, it does come and go. I almost lost my little man to it. He was in NICU for a week after he was born and was a very sick little boy. It was such a shock to everyone. It was really horrible and something I would never want to go through again. I have since had AB's before I had my babies, just for safety sake even though I know the chances would be slim of having another baby with GBS. Its just not something I want to risk again
