The ​WAVES Study
Ways to Avoid Various Elements of Susceptibility to Perinatal Group B Strep Disease

Share Your Story
We encourage you to share your GBS story. Stories matter and can make a huge difference for those telling their story and those listening. You are not alone on this GBS journey.

"It is healing. It is comforting. It is validating. And it just might be what someone else needs to hear." – Project NICU

#starttheGBSconversation
We want to encourage everyone to #starttheGBSconversation
​
​This campaign was inspired by Molly, a GBS mom, who encourages everyone to find their own way to spread the message about GBS. The goal of our #starttheGBSconversation campaign is to simply get people talking about GBS in their communities and perinatal healthcare providers talking to their patients about GBS disease prevention. ​
We focus on several health topics throughout the year to help promote healthy babies. Check out our toolkits for ways you can help!
