This is the start of our story section about babies whose signs and symptoms (or their mother's) are consistent with GBS infection although there may not have been a conclusive diagnosis or pathology testing results. 

These stories will highlight the need for:
1) Doctors and midwives to compassionately present options for pathology testing to newly bereaved parents for closure, care for subsequent pregnancies, and to further medical knowledge.
​2) Timely culturing before antibiotics may mask infection test results.
