I think every hospital is different but for mine you have to A) have your water break B) have contractions 4 minutes apart for over an hour straight with dilation. Good luck mama, I know they won't induce at my hospital until 39 weeks unless medically necessary
It could be false labor. If you do go they will monitor your contractions. If they're not consistent they'll send you home. If they are they may or may not choose to induce. It all depends on how your labor progresses.
