My doctor never told me i was positive with gbs. When i went into delivery and finally push him out they noticed that he had same type of red bruising on his leg. They run same test, he was in special care with an IV in him. The results came back and he have gbs they are treating him with antibiotics for 10 days and after that they are going to run same more test to see if it is gone. All i want to know is will this infection harm him any type of way when he gets order?

Sue!

You should talk to a malpractice attorney. At least gather the information. Your husband wants to protect your family in any way he can.

[gabriellakd]

Yeah I would definitely sue. That's a biggggg no no.

[capira]

I agree I'm bless that he will be ok. It just hurts that i can't bring him home until next Sat. My husband said he want to sue the doctor because he could of killed me or my little baby boy :'(

[gabriellakd]

I would sue. Yes ur baby will be okay but that's not professional to overlook something like that. At all.

[cubby77]

As some of the other ladies have said,  your baby will be okay with treatment but it seems negligent that they didn't check you for that.

[capira]

No they didn't treat me at all

I tested positive for that too my doc never told me but when I went into labor the hospital knew and put me on iv antibiotics

[cubby77]

I have a question.  Since your doctor knew that you were positive did they give the IV of antibiotics during delivery to prevent you from passing it to him?
