I tested positive with my last pregnancy. However, someone neglected to tell me the results and transfer them to my antenatal/delivery summary. I only found out when DS contracted late onset GSB at 3 & 5 weeks of age, almost losing his fight for life both times Every day I count my blessings that at the time he was already in the NICU. It happened all so quickly within a matter of a few short hours.

I had been receiving iv AB's but they were ceased 2 days before his birth. It wasn't until 30 mins before he was born that I received another dose. It was thought that he contracted late onset GSB from the bacteria that may have still been on his body from birth. Being a premmie, he was still in an isolette and was yet to have a bath.

But on the other hand, a friend tested positive and had no issues what so ever.
