    Cricket,
    I wouldn't have the testing based on what you have said. I would however monitor the babe a little more closely after birth to jump on any potential problem quickly. If you have the test it sounds like it is going to affect the way you labour and birth quite dramatically. The choice is yours to make, however you have to keep the 'risks' in perspective.

    Definately have the test.

    I have two previous labours (first one long; second one very quick) and no problems at all with either pregnancy. I am 30 wks now and found out I had GBS when I was about 8 weeks, at my first appointment.

    Get tested now so you can be prepared if need be - honestly, you will feel so much better knowing you have done everything you can to make your bubbas journey into the world as safe as you can.

    Good luck with everything!
