Group B Strep: ‘A common bug could have killed my baby’ https://t.co/mBD2ctL8fT

Bethany says she wishes she had been warned about #groupBStrep. She thinks all pregnant women should be tested for it.

We agree - all pregnant women should be informed about group B Strep & offered the option of testing, ideally on the NHS.

The only way to tell if you’re carrying group B Strep is to do a simple, safe, swab test. The UK does not routinely test all pregnant women. For more info on private tests, visit https://t.co/siYeR2J6JI #WhyGuessWhenYouCanTest #GroupBStrep

Thank you @DrSarahJarvis for raising awareness of Group B Strep on Radio 2 #gbs #freeGBStestkit

[DrSarahJarvis @DrSarahJarvis]

Strep B infection during pregnancy can cause life-threatening in babies - we don't screen for it in the UK routinely. How do you know if your baby could be at risk? I'm discussing now on @theJeremyVine @BBCRadio2

[Group B Strep Support @GBSSupport]

If you tested positive in a previous pregnancy, the option of testing for #groupBStrep with an ECM test late this pregnancy should be discussed with you. If it hasn't been, ask your #midwife

@Iwanrunner @BBCRadio2 @theJeremyVine Well done @Iwanrunner for bravely sharing your story and for @theJeremyVine for giving him and Jane @GBSSupport a voice. We need women to be aware of GBS so they can make an educated decision if they want to test privately.

After an agonising 10 days I’m delighted that Teddy is now out of hospital, once again thanks for the kind messages, thanks to the brilliant Nhs staff at the Princess Anne. No doubt my normal randomness will soon resume but expect the odd soppy dad post for the next 18yrs or so
