Yes, that's my reasons for not taking the Strep B test. Besides, I have complete faith in the care I receive at the Birth Centre; I trust their decades of experience as well as their ability to help me make an informed decision about any test or disease which could affect me or my baby.
i know this is off topic, but im sorry but no birth centre or hospital can guarantee any affects on your baby whether or not you take the test, the healthiness of the baby is up to you and your body and the baby, I understand not taking the test at 34 weeks and hope for the best (maybe they should do the test later, my OB does them at 36-37 weeks) totally your decision. Foe me I thought the test was easier than the pap smear and better to be safe and know as the antibiotics will be less harmful than if the baby actually got Step B while giving birth.
