Just wondering what the policy for group B strep swabs is where you are. I've heard that in some places, they only swab high-risk women, in some places they treat high-risk women, without swabbing, in some places, they offer to swab and let you choose what you want, and in some places, they swab everyone, whether they like it or not.
And, if you have a positive result, what are your options?
The reason I'm asking is just to get a better understanding of how this is handled in other places. From what I gather, about 30% of the population will have a positive result at any given time, and here, that means you'll be given IV antibiotics in labour. That seems like an awful lot of women being "forced" to have IV antibiotics, to combat a relatively small risk. Is this the way it happens by you?
