    Policy here is that all women recommended to have it done - only been that for about two years I think they said. I had it done - had heavy growth - had one injection through canular during labour as waters broke prior to contractions - only needed one as short labour. IMO it's worth a routine look and some antibiotics JIC - my brothers were both really sick when born, my oldest 11lb bro was really sick with pneumonia and that was prob as a result of strep B infection getting to them apparently, but wasn't screened for back then - so I took it without hesitation.

    Just thought I'd add the link to another thread that I started discussing GBS, with some excellent information from Alan and Julie Doula.
