Sounds like a pretty good visit. Maybe the Dr. is expecting that since you are so effaced you will dilate before the next apt?
When I was induced w/ my dd they gave me a medication to help 'ripen' the cervix. I think it was called cytotek? foggy memory on that. Anyway, I think that was the firs step, then pitocin, then breaking my water.
Good luck to you - maybe labor will get going before your next visit!
