- Most women carrying GBS do not have symptoms.
- GBS is, however, sometimes found during pregnancy by swabs or a urine test.
- The NHS does not routinely offer all pregnant women screening for GBS.
- Home testing kits are, however, available and more information about available tests can be found here: Group B Strep testing - Group B Strep Support (gbss.org.uk)
