New mothers feel poorly informed about life threatening infection, data suggests

Most pregnant women and new mothers feel inadequately informed about an infection that kills one baby every week in the UK, data suggests.

A poll of more than 3,000 women for the charity Group B Strep Support found only one in three feel well informed about the risks of Group B Strep (GBS), which is the UK's most common cause of life-threatening infection in newborn babies.
