thanks ladies,
I guess I was more upset by my m/wife appt than anything.
Having said that I am still quite undecided about the whole GBS thing. On one had, we would all do the best by our babies, but on the other hand I wonder about the whole unnecessary and escalating intervention thing - and if this is just another? It's actually hard to find "balanced" info - everything is very one-sided, either very pro, or very against, it's hard to find something balanced and down the middle.

Muminalice - thanks for that info - yes, my UTIs from memory were ecoli, and after doing some reading, even if a sore throat is caused by Strep, it is strep A not B, though I don't think mine is, because it would be much worse than it is if it was strep.

anyway, thanks for responding.
