Closed petition Make it mandatory for Group Strep B to be tested in every pregnancy
Closed on
Group Strep B can be fatal to newborns and can be picked up during pregnancy. All it takes is a simple blood test (which are done in early stages anyway) or a swab. This needs to be made mandatory so it can be dealt with in the correct way during labour and afterbirth etc. Please help make it happen
