Doctor Appointments

When you start going to the doctors weekly, does he check you for dilation each time ?

I wasn't checked until I asked for an update about 13 hours into active labor. No reason for routine cervical checks before there are signs of labor - it doesn't give you any useful information and can significantly increase the risk of cervical irritation or infection.
