Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. GBS (group B streptococcus) infection passes to the baby when the water breaks during the labor. If you have an infection of amniotic fluid or placenta or any high-grade fever or any previous baby with GBS, then antibiotics are given in these cases. In your case, you have planned to have elective LSCS (lower segment cesarean section) and there is no chance to have transmission of infection to the baby as the baby is protected inside the amniotic cavity and there is no need to take antibiotics also. You can go ahead with the cesarean section next week.
