GBS Test (Group B Strep Test)
From our Ultrasound Clinic In Leicester

Test kit available for £45 Results

If your result is negative, you can be reassured that research shows the chance of developing Strep B in the next 5 weeks is very small. If your result is positive you will be given a copy of your report to present to your Midwife or medical professional, so that your labour can be managed with antibiotic therapy and provided with any extra support needed to prevent Strep B infection from being passed to your baby at birth.

What is Group B Streptococcus (GBS)?

Gathering B Streptococcus is otherwise called GBS, Strep B or Group B Strep. It is a typical test that ordinarily causes no damage. The issue comes on the off chance that you have Group B Streptococcus when you’re pregnant or have quite recently had an
infant.
In the event that you have Group B Streptococcus, your child will be affected by it around you working and while giving birth. While most children will not be influenced, there is little possibility of your infant getting sick.
So conduct your GBS test next at our private clinic in Leicester or contact us on bump2babyscans.co.uk
