cervix checks
When did your doctors start checking your cervix??? My appt is on thursday and im hoping that my doctor checks me...
My doctor said he will start to check my at 36 weeks when he does the strep test. And then again at 39 weeks.
Mine started at 35 weeks and like 4 or 5 days because she did my strep b test than as well.
I want to be checked because im in such excruciating pain all i do is cry. I cant sleep, sit, stand, lay down, anything without crying in extreme pain on my hips... im only 36 weeks today.... i was going to try to talk to my doctor about being induced because i cannot handle this anymore.. i have to crawl to the bathroom at night because my hips pretty much lock when i lay down.... im so tired of being in pain 24/7
I haven't and I'm 36 weeks Im nof fussed it comes when it comes. My friend was over due and 2-3cm having contractions for a week before her little girl arrived its different on everyone 5% of women actually have it on their DD. and I read today most first time mum's are pregnant for 41 weeks but everyones different.

Lol @greekmom1213 that's for sure it depresses me every time I hear nope nothing lol. But doctor does mine automatically. And since I live 1.5 hrs a way im ok with being checked just for my own ease of mind
My midwives never checked my cervix until I was admitted to the birthing center 13 hours into active labor at 40w and I asked them to.
There's no good reason to check the cervix of a low-risk woman who is showing no signs of preterm labor. All it does is irritate the cervical tissue and raise the risk of infection. It doesn't tell you ANYTHING about how soon labor will start - a woman can be 3cm dilated for two months or go from 0-10 in three hours.
Amount of dilation week by week tells you absolutely nothing, it just increases your stress levels because it's either "OMG I'm already 2cm and I'm only 36 weeks I'm gonna have the baby tomorrow" or "OMG I'm 38 weeks and I'm not dilated yet this baby is never coming out." It makes zero sense why anyone wants to have that useless information.

Mine started at 35+5 because I had the strep b test done. Since I had no progress she didnt bother doing it at 36+4 so last week at 37+4 and there was no progress again lol. Im hoping for updates tomorrow
