Aimee was perfectly healthy when she was born. Day 4, she went limp in her Mum's arms.

Rushed to hospital, Aimee was diagnosed with group B Strep meningitis. She spent 3 weeks in intensive care and now has quadriplegic spastic dystonia cerebral palsy - she can't walk, talk, eat or drink properly.

As her mum Charlotte says, "Had I been tested and found positive for group B Strep, I could’ve been given antibiotics in labour and Aimee's illness and disabilities would’ve been prevented."

No one should suffer the pain and heartache of preventable group B Strep infection. Yet, on average in the UK, one baby a day develops GBS infection, one baby a week dies and one survivor a fortnight is left with disability.

Group B Strep Support is at the forefront of preventing these infections - providing information & support to families, educating health professionals and campaigning for improvements to national prevention strategy.
