For what it's worth I'm 39+2 AND they attempted to induce using prostaglandin gel yesterday, and I'm only 1 cm and still thick.

Hang in there.  I was not dilated at all at my appointment at 38 weeks and 3 days.  I go again on Tuesday 8-20.  It can happen all at once or you could be dilated starting around 36/37 weeks but then not make much progress.  This is what I am hearing from a lot of people.  Everyone is different.  Hang in there.
