Here is a FB prayer group.

Testing for Strep A is typically routine when pregnant. I tested positive and had to be on a penicillin drip for 4 hours prior to delivery.
Actually, just to nitpick for the sake of accuracy, it is Strep B that is routinely tested for. Strep A, that Katy was infected with, is very commonly found on the skin, so any one of us could be exposed at any time. Strep B is pretty common in the digestive tract (roughly 30% of the population has it), but it can be dangerous for newborns exposed to it and can actually cause preterm labor and birth, which is why it is tested for and treated.
