Story

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

My beautiful son Jenson was born 03/12/2023 and very quickly became poorly with GBS sepsis. He spent 3 long weeks in 2 different hospitals on intensive care. I wish we would have known about the Strep B screening during my pregnancy as it may have prevented what our son had to endure. So far, Jenson has made a full recovery and that is thanks to all the dedicated NHS staff who we owe our lives too! <3
