I went to 41+1 with my first. Mw aren't allowed to do internals until we hit 40 wks over here (ni) but Dr's can. There were no signs of labour for me either til I woke up and started having contractions.  I'm 38+2 with no 2. Praying I don't go as far this time I can. Barely cope as it is.

I don't get checked. Don't really need to know.   If it's your first,  chances are you aren't dilated.

It just depends on your doctor. With my first pregnancy cervix was never checked. Going to a different provider, cervix was checked at 36 weeks and asked if want checked on. Appointments after.
