36 week doctors visit

Keek

So Friday I have my 36 week appt. But I'll be 36+4. I'm expecting to have my GBS swab done, but it's been almost 2.5 years since the last time so I dont remember. Do most doctors check your cervix at the same time they do the swab? Itll be nice to know if I've been progressing at all since I've been having contractions and pelvic pain for almost 3 weeks now. But not sure if I'll be checked, or if they will wait till I'm a little closer. I dont remember being checked til I was 38 weeks with my last but just not sure. Okay rambling over.
