when dilated.

how do doctors decide on if they are going to keep when your like 3-4 cm dilated? do they automatically induce you if your that far but not having contractions? or do they just let you wait it out til you start having contractions with inducing?

I think even if your 3-4 centimeters and not progressing they'll wait it out and hope you start to. And at 42 week mark induce.
