Thank you Dr McGregor for this. I wish this could be viewed by all gynaecologist! My daughter was stillborn at term plus 9 days and we were not encouraged to have an autopsy as "these things just happen". It has always been something I have regretted. How are we every going to decrease the number of stillbirths if we do not know why babies are dying? How many stillbirth are caused by GBS that we are unaware of. I would love for my consultant to watch this and see all of my test results again to see if my case falls within the Likely section. Great work you are doing and oh how I wish more was being done here in the UK. GBS is considered rare/very rare here, yet I have read stories of hundereds of babies who have died from this disease plus many more who have survived. Not so rare in my eyes. Amazing work - thank you.
