how often does the doctor check if you're dilated?

Question

I got checked at my 36 week appointment and wasn't dilated yet, will he check again today for my 37 week? Will he check every week until she's here?

Answer

My midwife doesn't check since it has little bearing on when you will go into labor. Many doctors do check every week.

Answer

Never. It's not necessary until the onset of labor and even then isn't necessary for most women. My midwife doesn't need to check she just asks if I'm ready to push lol.

Answer

Every 2 weeks , im high risk. My 8 yr old now was born 2 months early dt my incompetent cervix so they are taking extra precaution! And im ok with that 😃

Answer

My OB only checks if you want to be checked but offers every week starting at 36 weeks. Have zero signs of labor at almost 38 weeks, so probably not going to have him check this week either...
