What do you wise women think about winding/burping babies. I am very aware
that I am totally confusing women and providing them with information which
conflicts with my colleagues. I would love to hear what information you give
women about this subject.
My standpoint at the moment (more than w
It seems most hospitals offer IV antibiotic cover in labour if membranes
have ruptured for over 18hrs whether GBS or not. This is a particular
bug-bear of mine. Firstly this is often not 'offered' but women are
basically told this is what will be done. Secondly when women have had 2
doses of AB
Where
I work no-one is swabbed. If a woman is in labour for twelve hours she is
commenced on IV antis without knowing her GBS status. There are no other
interventions, unless labour is premature, when a HVS will be taken. It's
interesting the variety of practises out there! I would prefer to

daughter was GBS pos. Had IV antis in labour but the staff wanted her to stay in

her home. I said what rubbish. The last two places I have worked if mum

Here in Belgium is the same rule, with unknown status they start AB in labour.
When labour goes to fast they will preventive give ab to the baby. Also with a
positive test the mother has no choice and will have AB in labour. When the
profylaxy is not compleet, the baby goes to neonatal ward and

I was actually witness to a midwife (and I
do use the term loosely in this instance) calling a young woman a ‘selfish
bitch’ for refusing to have antibiotics in labour, when she was of
unknown GBS status…this was 6 years ago at one of our centres of
excellence…shame…

If there are no “high risk”

Thanks Sadie, It is interesting that these
procedures are being done when the woman is of unknown status because the
guidelines from the Health dept say that Gastric aspirate and swabs only tell
us about surface colonization. The majority of babies who are born to those women

Hi Mary,
I have heard this said to women by some Dr's,
however not all. Usual practice is to do gastric aspirate & ear swab on baby
and check temps for 48 hours. And many women do refuse antibiotics for
themselves and their babies - with encouragement from their midwives

I have been told by a pregnant woman that she was reluctant
to have a strep B test at 35-37 weeks. She was informed by a doctor in the A/N
clinic of our public tertiary hospital, that if she went into labour with an “unknown
status” and attended the delivery suite , her baby would have to b
