At What Point do they start to check your cervix ? Posted: 06-12-07 02:08am
do they start to check your cervix?
i have my 36 week appointment pretty soon
here and im just curious when or if they
are going to start checking me anytime
soon
u can prob ask them , my dr checked around
36-38wks when she tested for group b strep
she was already down there already so she
asked if i wanted her to check my cervix
so i said yeah. but they might wanna wait
until 38 wks possibly

There is only one rule in medicine that
"there is no rule".
Nice to see you are now at full term
pregnancy.Its advice that you visit doctor
every weeks atleast 2 times,doc.checks
whether the baby has started
decending.With just pelvic examination and
when baby start to decent they will check
PV (per vaginal ) checking to see the time
of labor.

my dr would not check me until i was 40
weeks unless i was having contractions
i wish i wasnt checked that early with
joseph, i was like a fingertip to 1cm
dilated lol. Here they checked at
practically every appt wich i dont think
is a wise idea. She never really told me
when i was dilated until near the end. I
wouldnt get overly excited about being
checked though id personally rather not.
because then you might feel a little let
down if ur not dilated at all, even though
that doesnt mean squat u can go into labor
at any time or moment regaurdless.

my advice would be not to have them check
you or, if they do, not to tell you the
results. it's just super frustrating
either way.
you could be 2cm and then you'll get all
excited that you're 2cm and start to think
it could be any day now, then end up going
over.
or you could be nothing, then get upset
because nothing seems to be happening.
my doctor wasn't going to check me until
my 40 week appointment, but i asked her to
check when she was doing my group b test
at 38 weeks (i think) so she did. it was a
big fat nothing! i'd been on bed rest for
weeks, i had high bp, signs of pre-e, i
was just done being pregnant, then to hear
i hadn't made any progress yet just pushed
me over the edge. if i wasn't having a
c-section with my next one, i wouldn't
want to know any of it.

I agree with .b!
I only got checked once. I was 36 weeks. I
Had my baby like 3 days later and I was
"only a fingertip dialated".
Just tell them to keep the results of your
cervix to themselves.
They might also do the group b strep
test.(if they haven't already)
