BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 23, Article 339. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12884-023-05651-0

Background: 20–25% pregnant women in the UK carry group B streptococcus (GBS) which, if left undetected, is transmitted from pregnant mothers to their babies during birth in 36% of cases. This transmission leads to early onset GBS infection (EOGBS) i... Read More about Women’s knowledge of and attitudes towards group B streptococcus (GBS) testing in pregnancy: a qualitative study.

Background: Second-stage caesarean sections, of which there are around 34,000 per year in the United Kingdom, have greater maternal and perinatal morbidity than those in the first stage. The fetal head is often deeply impacted in the maternal pelvis,...
