"Group B Strep testing and information should be offered to everyone in pregnancy, so nobody goes through the heartbreaking shock we did!"
Kirsten recently reached out to share her experience after nearly losing her daughter, Myla, at just 3 weeks old to late-onset group B Strep meningitis. Group B Strep was never mentioned to Kirsten during her pregnancy.
"Nobody had told us about group B Strep until Myla became so poorly, we nearly lost her. She has now lost two-thirds of her hearing in one ear due to the meningitis.”
All new and expectant parents should be told about group B Strep so they can take steps to protect their baby.
Thank you Kirsten for sharing your experience.
