You are quite correct, GBS can be very dangerous for a baby and can cause life threatening sepsis. If you or the baby test positive for GBS around birth but are asymptomatic the effects of antibiotics on a fragile gut must be weighed against the small chance of the child developing sepsis.
It's a decision that only you can make, I'm not sure what I would do in your situation having had a child with sepsis (albeit from an entirely different infection).
