Strep B test Procedures

Augusta • Mommy of soon to be two. SAHM for now. Aviation major/enthusiast.

Quick question: with my first daughter, I used midwife center and delivered at the hospital. I did the strep b test myself in the bathroom. This go around I chose an OBGYN because of a blood condition, and they do the strep B test themselves. Anyone have any explanation for this? I know where my rectum is. I don’t understand why they have to do it. It seems unnecessary if I can do it myself.
