High and thick

Went to the doc today and she said I am still only dilated to 3, and my cervix is still high and on the thick side. I’m about to be 39 weeks. I know things can change pretty quick when baby is ready, it did with my first. But I thinned out sooner my first pregnancy and I didn’t dilate until literally the day I was in labor. This time seems the opposite 🙃 Anyone experience being high and thick this late in the game? And did you end up going over your due date or did you thin out and go into labor before?
