I haven't been checked?

Question

Is it normal for your doctor to not check you at all? I'll be 39 weeks at my next appointment and I've never been checked and the doctors never even mentioned it.

Answer

Yeah some doctors just don't check until you're overdue. I don't understand it but you could probably ask them to check you if you wanted

Answer

I was never checked till in labor.  Honestly it really isn't necessary, but can be fun to know.

Answer

I'm 38 weeks and at my appointment today my docto asked if I wanted to be checked. I asked her the pros/cons, she said, "we generally only do it if you've been having contractions." 
When I told her I had been, she agreed that checking wouldn't be a bad idea.

Answer

It isn't medically necessary, so some practices don't do it to minimize risk of infection.
