I've read TOMES on the subject, but i'm not sure what i need to be doing. I'm not even sure its a risk i need to worry about.

There's a 0.5% risk my uterus might rupture during labour.
There's a 0.5% risk that B may be born with GBS disease.

If i'm happy to take the first risk, why am i so frightened of the second? Its the same damn percentage! Possibly because the long term risks of B being born with GBS disease are a lot higher than the risks of uterine rupture, which is inappropriately named to begin with, but i just do not know.

Motherhood = GUILT. I'm fucked no matter what i do.
