Is this typical

I’m almost 38 weeks and have started my weekly OB visits but my doctor has not checked my cervix. I keep seeing people post how far they are dilated, so should I be concerned that I’ve not been checked? This is my first baby, having daily Braxton Hicks for the past week, and moderate pelvic tenderness. No mucus plug as far as I’ve noticed and baby is in position based on my ultrasound last week
