How many times dilation is checked?

Question

I started getting my labor pains yesterday and so far they have checked if I have dialated twice and sent me home with pain killers since I was only 1 cm dialated. They have called me again now and I am dreading this check 😟 It is soo painful!

Answer

I didn't have any until I was well into labor. Midwife checked and I was 9 cm. Checking weeks before labor doesn't really tell you anything.

Answer

My Dr started at 37 weeks and now we do one every appointment but I'm pretty sure you're allowed to turn them down they aren't a great measure of progress my Dr said they're pretty much just checking to see if I'm 4cm or more which I haven't come close to yet lol

Answer

It all depends. I had around 4 checks in labour with my first, one with my second and 3 with my 3rd.

Answer

I'm getting my first one this week on my due date.
