PPROM at 33 weeks gbs positive

Hi.I'm now 34 +4 weeks pregnant and my waters went (I believe) a few weeks ago (confirmed at 33 weeks). I also tested positive for gbs.

I am staying in hospital having daily monitoring and obs every 4 hours plus on antibiotics (11 days now). The consultants seem to be keen for me to deliver now I'm past 34 weeks but I'm not sure what to do. I am worried about the multiple risks associated with premmies (long term and short term) but also worried about risk of infection due to waters breaking. My obs so far have been good and fluids are replenishing since being in hospital. Growth is OK so far too.

Is anyone else in this situation or been in this situation who may be able to advise or give me their opinion?

Thanks in advance x
