I agree with Pat. The c-section rate is so out of control. A positive
B-strep is not a reason for a section. We give 3 doses of antibiotics 4
hours apart. If we only get 2 doses in, the baby gets a CBC, if we get
none or just one dose, they will also do a blood culture on the infant. A
fever in mom is no reason to separate her from her infant.
