My midwife has suggested having the GBS test, if I want, in the next week or so (I am nearly 38 weeks now). She told me that if I am negative, then we can all relax if the waters break days before labour, whereas if I test positive, we know that we need to keep a check on things once my waters break. She never said anything about needing to go to hospital based on the results though?

I will ask her again this week, but I was leaning towards having the test...
