Yes Yes Yes there is no need why they can not give you the AB's by slow push, this takes about 5-10mins (depending on how good the nurse is - some push them too quick!)

Another thing you can do is get to the hosptal late, like when you feel bubs is no too far away and then just say "hey there is no way those AB will do anything if i have the bub in the next 2 hrs, is there?"

Follow your gut and yes always question WHY a DR wants what they want. There is far too much intervenion in this country.....because it suits the Dr not the mother!

And like i said, yes GBS in bubs is scary and no mother would choose it to happen to their bub - but that does not mean that you have to introduce AB in labour to the unsuspecting bubs....'


I also forgot to say the delay washing baby for a few days, you dont want it to get cold getting dressed etc so maybe disposible nappies for the first few days to minimise changes????? Just a thought!
