The information leaflet, written in partnership with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), is aimed particularly at pregnant women and new parents and includes information on:
- What group B Strep is
- What group B Strep could mean for a baby
- How to reduce the risk of group B Strep infection to a baby

All our leaflets are available without charge as digital downloads. The charity provides print copies of the leaflet in English on request to individuals and NHS organisations.
The leaflet reflects the RCOG’s 2017 Greentop Guideline on preventing group B Strep infection in newborn babies.
We are grateful to the National Lottery Community Fund for their generous grant to translate this leaflet. We would also like to thank Atia Khan, Buthaina Ibrahim, Lisa Xue, Alissa Frémeaux, Gitit Rottenberg and Andreia Dias for their assistance with the translations.
