No cervical check?

Is it normal to be 37 weeks and your dr not be checking your cervix for changes?? I'm expected to go earlier than my due date and at my 36 week appointment she said she was starting checks every week but she didn't check me and she said she wouldn't until 38 weeks but everyone I've known started getting checked way earlier..

It's normal. Cervical checks aren't even necessary.

I'm 38 weeks and never got checked. It really doesn't matter how far along you are before labor starts.

The only time I'll get checked is when I go into triage after I'm in labor.

My doctor doesn't check until your overdue. So I haven't been checked yet, and won't be until next Friday.
