If you, or someone close to you, has had the unfortunate experience of a baby affected by Group B Strep (GBS) could you help me post regular messages on this discussion board?

My wish is to post monthly factual information about GBS so that women entering their last month of pregnancy learn about it, and can test for it if they wish.

I have a standard fact sheet taken from information on the Group B Strep Support website www.gbss.org.uk which you can use if you wish, or write your own.

Please email me at leesa-yeo@oceanfree.net if you think you could post some messages about GBS.

Thanks a lot

i couldn't agree more although i 've never been affected by group b strep but i think all woman should be tested during the end of their pregnancy i'm so sorry to hear about your daughter
