CASH — USA
Born November 5, 2015

Early-onset

Mother's GBS Status: 
Tested positive
Gestational Age: 
36 weeks, 3 days
Age Harmed: 35 weeks
Diagnosed at 35 weeks with GBS. Delivered my son at 36 weeks 3 days. My labor was extremely fast, so I was unable to receive IV antibiotics. I was only at the hospital approximately 20 minutes before his birth.
