How u know if u dilating?

I am 38w + few days but my gynae doesnt seem to be bothered to check if i am dilating? He only say when water breaks, mucus plug or bloody show just straight go hospital. But ive heard from some mummies that their gynae will check for dilation from week 37 onwards? Can anyone share their experience?

I was 38+6 when my gynae checked for dilation but still at 0cm. He asked me if wanna induce. If want, can induce the next day (exact 39 weeks) or wait one more week. In the end, we chose to wait 1 more week to see if baby will come out on her own but she didnt. End up checked in to hospital to induce. Successfully induced but labour took 22 hrs in total from check in to baby pop
