Midwives take every single precaution to protect their practice.
Maybe your friends don't act on the knowledge when they do have GBS, but that's a different story. |
I always did the GBS swab myself. And I knew exactly what I was doing.
Maybe not every homebirth midwife tests for GBS. But please don't assume that those of us who swab ourselves are ignorant and have no idea what we're doing or why.

What?!?!? 
I'd think it'd be the opposite. As a prevention, yes, as a cure - probably not, because vitamins are not usually cures.

It's most definitely 100% tested for a in London. I have been tested for it every pregnancy in London!!!

This is where I heard about the UK not testing. I am happy you were tested for it in London.
