A lot of doctors don't check dilation because it's gives no indication of when you'll give birth. You could be stuck at 2 cm for weeks, or you could be closed and deliver in 8 hours. From my understanding, it's more for the mother's comfort prior to labor beginning. If you really want to be checked, all you have to do is ask.
Anyone else?
Anyone else's doctor don't check for progress? I feel like I'm the only lady in here stuck in the wind! My doctors office doesn't check unless you have been having A TON of contractions. I'm 38.3 and no NOTHING other than this is the most I've ever been pregnant. On top of all that I question whether I'm having real contractions or if I just have to go to the bathroom 😕
