GROUP B STREP (GBS) AND INDUCTION


Hi all i don't know if anyone can help or if this is the right place to post this, I'm a known carrier of GBS and have to have an antibiotic drip during labour as they don't test here in the uk to find out if it is live or not during pregnancy. My only concern was is that i was only aware of my labour for 22 minutes with my last baby and the antibiotic drip is supposed to be given 4 hours before apparently. Does anyone know if you can be induced for this reason to ensure i get the adequate medication to prevent any chance of my baby being infected? Thanks x

I thought that antibiotics could be given for this after labour?

Yes i heard they can be given to the baby after labour should they not get them but it seems like a huge risk to take. I was wondering if maybe there is a test i can get done privately? Does anyoone know?
