Group b strep test - anyone done one?
Hi, I'm after a bit of advice from anyone who may have done one of these tests. I got the free testing kit ages ago (I understand I have to pay for the lab to process the test when I send it to them), however in the info that came with the test it says that you can get a 'health professional' to take the swabs & the results will be sent to them, with a copy also sent to you.
When I mentioned this to my midwife at my last appointment, she was very dismissive about it, just said I should sort it all out myself. The test should ideally be done when you're between 35 & 37wks pregnant, & I'm currently 33wks, so I need to do it soon.
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Just wondering where I order one of those kits from, I asked my MW if I could have the test at the correct time as my cousin had it, but she dismissed it saying it wasn't something routinly done!!
Typical so if you could let me know, cheers
