[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had more than one child in the UK and most women do not get private GBS testing. I am a central London mum and literally noone in my NCT group knew or talked about it.

Fact is all interventions have risks and benefits and to pretend refusing an intervention is reckless is itself ridiculous.[/quote]

When was this, 10 years ago, woo poster?

[b]You do know that childbirth used to be the leading cause of death among women and young children before modern medicine?[/b] And that the “interventions” you demonize are actually medical care women in the rest of the developing world wish they could have access to during childbirth? Because, you know, women and babies still die from lack of access to antibiotics, blood transfusion, access to safe C-sections and anesthesia, etc. in much of the rest of the world.

Every month 4 babies die in the UK and Ireland from group B strep. You think we should be following their medical standards with that level of preventable mortality? Risk of prophylactic antibiotics is something most women select over the risk of serious morbidity and mortality and while you can certainly refuse them it is most certainly reckless. I mean, you can drive without a seatbelt too and not die but it’s still a dumb choice.

You do know the U.S maternal mortality rate is significantly higher than the UK maternal mortality rate?[/quote]
