Is Induction Of Labor During 37th Week Of Pregnancy In A Person With High Blood Pressure A Cause For Concern?

Hello, my name is Saloni Shroff and I am 36 weeks + 5 days pregnant. In 33 weeks high BP is detected in my body. I don't have any symptoms other than BP is high. There is no protein in urin. Dr. gave me medicines, Presinol 500mg 4 times and Nifedipin 10mg 3 Times. Since one week my BP is again high and range is 160 100. Now Dr. suggests me to go for labor induce in 2 days. CTG and baby growth are ok.

I have following questions.
1. If I go for labor induce in 37 week + 1 day, is it safe for baby?
2. Are Presinol and Nifedipin Safe for baby?
3. Should I wait?
