Induction at 39 weeks and positive Group B test

I'm Due August 10th, 3 cm dialated and 75%effaced currently 38 weeks and 4 days but no signs that baby is coming soon. My doc wants to
Induce me at 39 weeks if I show I've dialated to 4 cm  so I'm treated with antibiotics for positive Group B strep. Not sure if I should go ahead with the induction or just wait it out a little longer just concerned about baby if I don't get antibiotics in time so it doesn't pass to the baby.

I have GBS but not getting induced. My gyn said there normally is time enough (and then some), but there is a backup kind of antibiotics they can give just 1hr before delivery to do it's work. He seemed very confident all would be fine, i just need to come in as normal, when contractions are 3-5 min apart or water breaks.
