Dilation checks?

I'm going in for my 38w appointment in a few hours. When do they start regular checks for dilation?

A lot of drs start at 36 weeks but my dr you have to ask to be checked or they usually won't do it. I always asked :-)

Some doctors don't check until you go into labor. My doctor started checking at 36 weeks.

I was checked last week only because my symptoms sounded like labor. I was only 1cm up high and not effaced.
