37 week appointment feels like a waste

Sarah • Wife. Momma to a 2 year old. Praying for our rainbow baby.
So my midwife doesn't do cervical checks till you are overdue. Such bs. She did do one at my last appointment only cause she knew how much pain I was in and told me I wasn't dilated and the cause of pain was cause baby was so low and down in there. Now I have my 37 week appointment and I feel like it's just pointless since she won't be checking to see if there's been progress. So pointless and I know I'm just gonna leave annoyed.
