so im 38 weeks 2days and ive started my weekly visits last week but they still haven't checked me to see if im dilating so im wondering when they do that? or am i supposed to ask them to check?i get what i think are braxton hicks,havnt lost mucus plug and literally kinda feel like these appointments are useless they just check babies heart and tell me head is down, like i can check babies heart at home with my doppler and i was already told baby was head down since 35weeks..idk ima first time mom and dont know if this is normal or not
