Hi all!! 35 weeks tomorrow!!In London they do not do this test! NHS policy, is it something to worry about? what do you think? Thank you!!!

If you have it they will give you antibiotics, but even if you don't get the test done they will still give you antibiotics just in case you have it so get the test done and hopefully it's negative so you or baby don't have to get that horrible antibiotic, good luck.

I think it's a good idea to have the test done. It's really easy, and it's in your baby's best interest. I would recommend it!
