#WhyGuess campaign

The “Why Guess … when you can test?” campaign wants to stop healthcare professionals having to guess whether a pregnant woman is carrying the potentially harmful group B Strep bacteria. It wants them to have easy access to the gold standard ECM test, a test specifically designed to detect GBS carriage. Join us! www.gbss.org.uk/why-gues

My son spent a week in SCBU because of GBS. If we had known beforehand we could have argued for immediate admission rather than being sent away for 48hrs when my wife had PROM. #WhyGuess

Group B Strep is a normal bacterium carried by around 1/4 women, without symptoms and usually unknowingly. It can be passed from mother to baby around birth with potentially devastating consequences for the baby. But these consequences are usually preventable and that’s why I’ve started this petition with the charity Group B Strep Support.
