Anyone's Else Not Been Checked?

Question

I'm due in 4 days and my midwives haven't checked my dilation at all? When did they check you? Is it normal to be due and they not check? I see her again the day before I'm due.

Answer

My Drs do it beginning at 39 weeks. They did offer it to me a little early since I went in a few days shy of being 39 weeks.

Answer

Im being checked Wednesday (39.1) because I want my membranes swept if I'm dilated. Other than that, it doesn't matter until you go past your due date and have to be induced because it determines the method or while in labor to ensure progression

Answer

I mean, it doesn't tell you much lol you could be dilated for weeks and still go over so it's not that big of a deal. But you could always ask and see if they will

Answer

My OB checks me only when I request it. You should ask?

Answer

40+2 saw my midwife yesterday and she still didn't check.

Answer

39+3 and never been checked. The midwives don't do it where I go. Maybe once I'm overdue??

Answer

My dr wont check me until i am 40 weeks but she did do a final test for infections and said that just by looking at my cervix i am about 2 cm and thick

Answer

My midwives wing check until after my due daye

Answer

every doctor's office handles that differently. At my office they checked me at 35 weeks since they were doing the strep b swab test anyway. then again at 37 weeks. and said they won't just automatically do it but only if I have concerns or want them to. I had them check me again at 38 weeks because I've been having lots of pelvic pressure and I was dilated to a 1. Since I'm 39 weeks now I think I'll just have them check me again at my next two appointments just because I'm curious lol. but from what I understand over in Europe they won't check you at all until you're in labor.

Answer

My midwives let it be up to me. I could get checked if I wanted it opt not to. I got checked at 38 weeks but decided not to at 39 weeks. If you're curious I'd suggest asking them. Good luck and hope everything goes well!!
