Yep it can, because I had high levels in my system I was given antibiotics at about 32 weeks which got rid of it. I got retested at 37 weeks but never got the results and as I went into labour at 38 weeks they gave me the antibiotics again during labour any way just to make sure Jacob would be ok.
If you are worried at all I would def recommend paying to get the test done, I think it is only about ??30. Or if you have had it before in a previous pregnancy then they usualy screen you for free I think. xx
