I tested positive for GBS at 36 weeks with my 3rd baby. We made it to the hospital with only 15 minutes to spare before she was born (1hr45min labour) and I started pushing while the midwives were out of the room getting the abs ready. Three pushes and my daughter was born in the caul. I never had the abs, and it was never even suggested that DD have any abs. We were in hospital only 7-8 hours and they just checked her temperature at the beginning of each breastfeed. Then they happily let us go home
