I agree... I'd prefer them to examine you more often for dialation.
My midwife told me she would be checking every four hours.
However as I was induced with syntocin it all happened really quickly, and although my contractions had slowed down/changed for a whole hour, she only decided to check me after 2 more hours had past, and I was already 10cms!! I think I could have been ready to push Aidyn out a whole lot earlier if only she had checked on my dilation more often! (I had an epidural so I couldnt feel the urge to push...)
