My doctor didn't check people until their due date. She said she'd check me if I wanted her to at my 36 weeks appointment when I got my group b strep test done. I'd made no progress so it was very frustrating for me. Other people find out they're 2cm and they get frustrated because they think they'll be going into labor any day and they're still pregnant a month later.

Knowing what I know now, i'll never want to be checked again! And if they do want to check me I won't want to know the progress. It's frustrating either way!

Thank .God my dr didn't wait till my dude date...Cuz uhhh, idda been in trouble.

My Dr. Checked me 1 time. It was supposed to be 4 times...But little did we know, she planned on coming early.

I was only a cm dialated and 50% effaced when he checked me at 36 weeks. 4 days later....Taa daaaaa!!! Oni made her grand entrance.

It was soo unexpected, my Dr. Was out of town so some woman Dr. Had to deliver .Oni...Kinda sucked cuz Dr. Graham took care of me and .Oni my entire pregnancy, and he couldn't deliever her. But there was no waiting!!

See if he'll check you, if not, tell him you want to be check. I don't think it's fair to wait till the "due date" to check the cervix.
