GBS positive at 8w. Was not told they would be culturing the swab taken, just that they were checking for blood (suspected miscarriage, thankfully all was ok).

Have not had second test, will have urine test at 36w to see if I am clear or not. Either way, I won't have the abs as that means hospital and cannula inserted and will lead to interventions. But the information will inform other options and postnatal monitoring.
