I had an internal in the very beginning.
My doc says they will start checking down
there again when i'm 35 weeks. Maybe it
has something to do with insurance? I
was only able to have one .U.S because
that is all my insurance (aetna) would pay
for.
Prob will soon, I got group b strep test
done at 34 wks, but hey normally dont
check yer cervix till 36 wks or later
depending on ur dr, u can always ask them

If you are only 34 weeks, I wouldn't be
concerned. You still have 6 weeks to go.
Some doctors never check until you go into
labor. Talk to you doctor or his/her
nurse the next time you go in to find out
what to expect and when you might expect
it.
My doctor check once told me I was 2 cm
dilated and that it would be 'any time'.
I went overdue. Your dilation doesn't
matter - but some people like to know.
I think if I had the choice, I wouldn't
find out.
Good luck!

My doctor doesn't check people until their
due date. She said she'd do it if I asked
though so when I had my group b test done
(at 36 weeks I think) I figured she was
already down there so why not.
I'm with ingi though, i'd rather not know.
It's just frustrating either way. If
you're not dilated you wonder why and if
you are you think it's going to be any day
and it's usually not.

My doctor starts checking after the beta
strep test. He did mines at 34 weeks and
checked me every week after that. It was
frustrating knowing that I was 1 cm. For
5 weeks and I went 8 days over. I
wouldn't want to know if I had to do it
over.
