One of my friends twins nearly died due to this, was prem and very ill. They thought she had meningitis and gave abs to treat it, the very abs that Strep B doesnt react too! It was only when she was transferred to specialist unit that they tested and she came up positive.
I was gbs it was found in a urine sample at 35 wks, I was tested again at a 40 wk appointment to make sure it was still there so I wasn't given antibiotics for no reason
