Strep B, a reason to have a C-section?

RL friend is 23 weeks pregnant with her 4th child. She found out a few weeks ago that she has strep B and was told that she had to have intravenous antibiotics when she goes into labour and then after 4 hours, then baby has to have anti-b's then stay in hospital for a week.
She resigned herself to this but has just been told that she has a new consultant and she will be booking her in for an elective C-section. Her view is a C-section will eradicate any risk of passing it to the baby and they can be home again after 2 days.
Friend is now a tad concerned as she doesn't fancy recovering from a C-sec with other kids at home, especially as she has had normal labours.

Anyone else had this, any advice grateful

I tested positive with it with DD, it was too late for antibiotics to be administered, her birth was just over 2 hours. She came out fine and we had no worries whatsoever. And have heard that it can come and go too.
