With my first baby I got checked regularly even though it was a scheduled csection. With my second baby it was optional if I wanted to be checked. With this one I haven't been checked at all other than the one time I went to labor and delve for contractions. Having my csection in 4 days

I was checked once, my doctor checks weekly after 37 weeks, it is optional for those who are having c-section.
