Our beautiful girl Phoebe was born with Group b strep which is something I had never heard of. This is an infection I passed on to her through labour! There is no routine screening for this and that has got to change! I would never wish on anyone what we went through I would like to make as many people aware of it as possible! 

Phoebe went through tests that’s no baby should have to have, she is our little fighter and I couldn’t be prouder of her! 

Group B Streptococcus is the UK's most common cause of life-threatening infection in newborn babies and of meningitis in babies under age 3 months. On average in the UK, at least-two babies a day develop a group B Strep infection -one baby a week dies from their GBS infection, and-one baby a week survives with long-term disabilities – physical, mental or both.Yet most group B Strep infections are preventable. Group B Strep Support informs families & health professionals about group B Strep to save tiny lives.
