What test (if any) was used to detect your group B strep?

Swabs from a lab. Done privately.

Interesting - where did you hear about the test? Did your midwife tell you, or from a leaflet?

Sawb from the hospital. I went in because of some bleeding and they did a vaginal swab.

My mum saw Chris Steele on This Morning who mentioned it so wrote to the lab. Both dr and midwife would not take the swabs so had to do them myself.

Never tested positive for GBS! Had a swab done whilst in premature labour with Cayden, it came back negative (but I don't know if it was a reliable test, and they didn't tell me that untill I went back for 6 check).
