Obgyn only does cervix check at 39 weeks?

Question

Anyone else never got theirs checked? I've been reading that a lot of women start getting checked at 36 weeks so I was expecting the same!

Answer

I don’t get checked until I’m in labour or starting induction. 
There’s just no point and it’s super uncomfortable so I don’t mind.

Answer

They offered to do my check at 38 weeks I said no. We will check at 39 but regardless it doesn't mean anything. You can be dilated and effaced for quite a while before labor .... I mean at the end of the day the baby will come when baby is ready 🤷

Answer

Mine starts at 36 but I’ve declined them. Won’t let her check till 40+1. It means nothing and either disappoints or gives false hope in my opinion! Lol

Answer

Same yourself the anxiety 😂 my doctor wanted to check so whatever, but it doesn't mean anything to be dilated lol 
My MIL was 3.5cm for 3 weeks 😂 the nurse told her to go home and shave her legs... And she was pissed that she was still pregnant and went overdue by 10 days 😂

Answer

My doctor will start at 36 weeks if you ask. I haven’t gotten checked at all I’m 38 weeks and don’t plan on getting checked at all.

Answer

Mine doesn’t start until 40 weeks. Unless you’re in labor or having contractions/other signs of labor, he won’t check normally. And really, there’s no need to.

Answer

I’m 36 weeks and haven’t even been checked yet. They’re talking about possible induction for me at 39 but he hasn’t even done any testing. Every time I go in most of the appts feel rushed. I’m just ready to NOT be pregnant anymore.

Answer

They won’t be checking mine until Friday when I’m 39 weeks. I’m hoping to be at least 1 or 2 cm dilated so that they can sweep the membranes and get this show on the road.

Answer

I had mine checked because I requested it, but my OB said they like to put it off their until near the end because it usually just causes more anxiety than anything. She said the same as an earlier poster. You can be at a 4 and not give birth for a week, or you can be completely closed and then go into labor that night.

Answer

My midwives don’t do checks either.
