I tested positive for group B strep, started treating it at home (from the links i found on this site and others) with colloidal silver, bee propolis, probiotics, essential oils, olive leaf extract, vitamin C, manuka honey, and also chlorhexadine wash (hibiclens), and a tampon with diluted teatree oil.. A week later I was swabbed again and i have just found out it is still POSITIVE! my midwife knows i will be declining the standard treatment of antibiotics during labor (am i crazy?) and now wants to know if I will be happy to blood test the baby after he is born to check him for infection.

My dilema is this... If we test baby , and he is positive, he may not become symptomatic or sick at all from it! with my colostrum and our healthy immune systems, it may not be a problem. therefore the trauma and potential damage from antibiotics would be useless.

If he becomes symptomatic, shows any sign of being ill, OF COURSE we will give him antibiotics!!

I don't want him to have the blood test at birth for GBS.
I feel strongly about it but i'm also freaking out inside

Am i crazy! this is really hard decision to make.
