Just wondering, as I have never heard this before but I had my appt at the fertility clinic on Monday, and the specialist said that this is a possibility.
See I was diagnosed as a carrier of the Group B Strep virus when pregnant with my son. Apparently 25% of women and men carry this bacteria but it does not cause any probs so no one knows they even have it.
Also it lays dormant and comes and goes which is why they do not test for it.
It only causes threat to a newborn baby as it passes though the birth canal when being born, antibiotics are given through a drip during labour which is meant to stop the baby contracting it.
I had all this but unfortunately my little boy did contract the virus and was a very sick newborn baby and had to stay in SCBU, but luckily he pulled through and now a very healthy little boy.
I had no probs conceiving him and had a very good pregnancy with him, only 1 year on I have two MMC's.
Just wondering if anyone knows anything of this, or anyone who has ever been told that miscarriage was due to the mother having an infection or virus.
Thanks ladies. xx
