I am one of the lucky mums. My daughter caught Group B Strep infection from me and she survived.
I bled at 6 months pregnant and was told via post that I had Group B Strep, my midwife posted a leaflet through my door and left me to research this myself. My daughter was born on her due date weighing just 4.9lbs!,I had test scans done just so I could see her more and they told me if they thought anything was wrong they’d have to declare this to me. Obviously her size was something not normal, the woman scanning me looked concerned but didn’t tell me anything. I knew she was going to be born small, mother instincts didn’t fail. I begged the midwife to check me but they refused. When it came to labour I was told I wasn’t in labour because I was still able to eat and laugh. They didn’t check me for hours and I only had 47 minutes worth of antibiotics when it should have been at least 4 hours worth to protect my daughter. When she was born she became increasingly unwell. They did blood sugar tests on her and they came back low. She was severely unwell and ended up in special care for 16 days.
