36 week. 3cm dilated.

My question is, and because I'm hoping what happened to another mom on here happens to me. Lets say I go in for my 37 week next week and ive dilated more like to a 5 or above or something. Will they automatically send me to the hospital and if they do. What happens?  Obviously I know ill have the baby. But will they start contractions???? Or????? Amazingly enough this is my second kid. But! With my first. I had to be induced because absolutely nothing was happening.  This time is alot diff. So I truly have no idea what to expect......

This is how it works at my hospital: you have to progress at the hospital in order for them to keep you.
For example,  I went to the hospital and I was 4 cm. They said the only way they would admit me was if i progressed,  so i could either go home or walk the halls of the hospital for an hour. I decided to stay and walk (in tears because of contractions).. They checked me after walking for an hour and i was 6 cm so I was admitted.
