Will GBS effect my homebirth?

Group B Strep is a common bacteria that is tested for during late pregnancy, to see if your baby is at risk of a bacterial infection. Homebirth practices may vary on how they treat GBS compared to the standard of care you see in the hospital. Our Midwives discuss risk factors involved in making clinical decisions and what options there are for treatment and prevention.
