38 weeks pregnant and my doctor has never checked me for dialation. He said as long as all my checkups (blood pressure, urine test, blood test, babys hearth beat and I am doing well there's no need.) he doesn't want unnecessary pain. Is this normal?

Question

Answer

Trust me.    You're lucky!    That shit hurts!!!  😂

Answer

Dilation actually has no indication on how soon labor is. There's no reason to check for it.

Answer

Sounds like a good doctor to me!

Answer

I'm 38 1/2 my midwife never checked me

Answer

My midwife won't check me until 40 weeks

Answer

Checking that late can actually induce labor. I bled so bad I was worried I'd loose my baby. There's no need to have a check then so you are lucky!

Answer

With my first pregnancy they checked once when I was getting close to my due date. With My second my OBGYN did a cervix check at 35 weeks and she told me she will be checking every week. My first wasn't painful when they did it but with my second oh gawd it was painful. I didnt know they will do it every other week but i guess it just depends on your doctor.
