Well with my 1st midwife checked me every visit starting 3rd trimester. With my 2nd I had a male OB and he only checked my vag in the very beginning and after even at 37 weeks never checked me. I thought I would have but nope nothing. With this dr she's female and she even said once I got to 3rd trimester she would start checking because I could start sooner because of the my pregnancies went to far apart. But then when I went to labor and delivery at 33 weeks Dr's checked me right at the start.
When do the midwives check you? Do you asked to be checked at the prenatal visit?.. all I've been getting during visits are heat beat checks and what my belly measuring at..
Also I was already dialated at 33 week at 1.5 30% effaced I'm 35 weeks now I wanted to see if there was a change
Well I checked it already. I understand the risk. I did read alot into in and made sure I used a sterile glove. To be honest as well there's a lot of articles that talk about it as as positive. But in that case as well one should worry about the Risk of sex (or masterbation even)that can have as well at this point with dialation and infection.
I'm sorry but you should not be checking yourself. Unless you are a medical professional trained in both sterile techniques and understanding what you are looking for then you should not purposefully check. This can cause an infection in your cervix. I am sorry if I am being blunt. I self checked my cervix 6 years ago at 35 weeks and lost my baby from an infection that I myself created. Please don't risk your baby like me and leave it to the professionals who are trained
Someone mentioned she looked up on google and watched a video***i hate when this app doesn't let me finish.
Hummmm... Checking yourself... I'm following. Bump
