Not read the whole thread & don't know what strep b is, lazy mebut, for what it's worth....
My partner got epilepsy with our daughter ( She'll be 6 in Jan 2010) and it got worse after the birth. Progressive epilepsy is a bit of a sod but where we are but didn't stop us having the wee fella. Allbeit with a lot of hospital visits and stuff ya don't need.
Main thing is kids are brilliant. Happy helathy and love each other loads.
Kindest wishes and enjoy. There really is nothing better.
(hole in one comes kinda close though!)
