[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the woo poster. I would like to remind PPs that it is the absolute right of any patient to refuse any and all treatment. Pregnancy is not a disease, and there is a great debate even amongst the medical community on the need for GBS testing is pregnancy. For example, GBS testing is not part of the standard pregnancy protocol in the UK. Are those people all stupid and reckless?[/quote]

Right, so women in the Uk often pay out of pocket or go to private hospitals for the screening. Just because another country does things differently does not make it the correct way. NHS has had tons of lawsuits for deaths in their maternity wards and the Uk has a birth trauma association because of high rates of postpartum PTSD. Also - every year babies die in the UK because of GBS. I’m not sure why you think turning down recommended medical treatments is a good idea. Bug medicine isn’t out to rob you of your empowered VBAC, they want you and your baby to avoid death and injury.
