I am 35.4 weeks today and 2cm dilated. Anyone else dilated yet?

Question

Answer

My midwife doesn't do cervical checks

Answer

My doc checked at my 36 week appt since I might need to be induced any day now and I was still high, hard, and closed. 🙄

Answer

My dr start checking the cervix at 36 weeks.

Answer

I pissed my doctor off yesterday by declining a cervical check (36W). Unless you are talking about an induction or preterm labor it doesn't provide you any information, introduces foreign bacteria (higher risk of Infection), and triples the risk of your bag of waters breaking before labor starts. 
I have links to  pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov research studies to show him next week after being accused of being ridiculous, not acting in the best interests of my baby, and veiled threats to comply or find a new provider (no one takes transfers after 30W near me).

Answer

Just cos they check you an' tell you you're a certain dilation doesn't mean you're gon' go into labor. You can be dilated at 3 for days. Just as an example. So don't get your hopes up. Those checks are pointless an' painful.

Answer

Are they checking you this early for a reason ?

Answer

Contractions? Yes. Dilated? No. Cervix? Soft.

Answer

Nope!
