When do the doctors usually check you to
see if you have begun dialating or
anything. Any one know out there? Has
anyone preparing for a home birth or water
birth?

Thanks. I have an appointment tomorrow
morning so hopefully they'll check me out.
I'm going through a birthing center not a
hospital so I don't know if the midwifes
work the same way as doctors when it comes
to checking.

Yeah, I don't know either. They checked
me at 33 weeks because he thought I was
dilated. I ended up being 60-80%
effaced, but not dilated. Almost time.

Are you pregnant now? If so how far
along? I'm hoping to have a water birth
so I just need to try to keep my blood
pressure down because if that goes up i'll
have to deliver at the hospital.

Map!!!!!!!!!!!!!Wow I haven't seen you
around since I got back. How are you?
I can't believe that you are already about
to have your skoot. Yay!!!!
I wasn't checked until I went into the
hospital in labor. But then again I was
having a c-section. My cousin who goes
to my doctor too hasn't been checked and
she is due in 13 days.

I had an appointment this morning and the
midwife said she wouldn't normally check
you until 40 wks but if I want to know
whats going on she'll check me next week
since i'll be 37 wks by then.
