Hi I was wandering I u could help in a previous pregnancy I had group b strep which I recieved antibiotics in labour with no complications but in this pregnancy I tested negative therefore didn't recieve them my baby was born 1 week ago and 24 hrs he started vomiting and refusing feeds and diareha and uncontrolable jittering due ti this midwife contacted doctor. My son got admited to neonatal unit as he had high levels of jaundice and was there for 24 hrs! His crp levels where 20 and was started on iv antibiotics awaiting blood cultures fir 48 hrs which came back negitive so antibiotics stopped! Signs and symptoms have settled but I'am still seriously worried incase my son didn't recieve the right amount of antibiotics for sepsis/meningitis as I know this was what he was tested for as on discharge letter or was all this just due to he he jaundice he had much advice and help would be approximated
