In the UK, 1 in 1000 babies have a problem with Strep B and 700 babies each year die, more being disabled to some degree. Testing is suggested at about 36-38w, as that gives a decent show of if you will be strep B positive at birth.

Would it be OK if I used some of your quotes too? It will only be a short piece and I'll use some that warn of the dangers of testing too early too, but want to get permission first.

and don't worry, Bec, I wanted to keep calling you Hana for aaaages! Is it routine in Scotland to test then? Ooooh dear (or "oh duh-ear", as DS says) - another across the border conflict! I can hear the chuntering starting already.
