when did you get checked for dilation??

Question

Answer

My first son I got tested as early as 28 weeks and was 2 cm dilated... crazy I know. 34 weeks today and haven’t been checked yet but hopefully dilated somewhat.

Answer

My doctor doesn’t do them unless you ask. They say there really isn’t a reason to do it. I asked with my first pregnancy at my 40 weeks appointment and they obliged.

Answer

38 weeks

Answer

I got checked yesterday at 34 weeks because the nurse asked if I was having contractions and I said random Braxton hicks. Not sure why that warranted a check but I wasn’t dilated 😂

Answer

Not until 38 weeks

Answer

I don't.  I think it's pointless because you can be dilated for weeks and nothing happens, then boom!  You go from 5 cm/80% effaced to baby in 30 minutes.  That was me with #2 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

28 weeks

Answer

33wks and my midwife hasn’t mentioned checking it at all as of yet

Answer

Still haven't! I had an appointment today at 37+2. She said we could start membrane sweeps next week if I want, so I would imagine dilation would be checked then.

Answer

My doctor said she would start checking me at my next appointment. I’ll be 36+5.
