Inducing?

I was induced with my daughter in 2018 & I was dilating fine. But I have been discussing inducing on 12.18.19 (due 12.25.19) but the midwife said my Dr might not let me induce that early if I'm not dilating?? Whaaat? My last Dr & midwife with my daughter (different Dr & midwife, same office) never said anything about that... Why would me inducing without being dilated have anything to do with it? Kinda part of the reason in inducing🙄
