It's quite common to carry it and it's so very easily treatable. The anti biotics eliminate any risk of passing it to baby during labour.
I asked my MW about it and she said that my NHS trust had just started to offer it as an additional private service. So she ordered the kit and I took the swabs. I paid £20 and they turned it around in 1 working day.
If you want it and your hospital dont offer the service then you can get a free kit here: http://www.mumstuff.co.uk/acatalog/G...-Test-Kit.html
and you only get charged if you send it off for analysis.
