dialation

First time mom here, and at 34 weeks. Just wondering how the dialation thing works? Does the doctor check how dialated you are at a certain point in your pregnancy? Or is it just something you know is happening?

Depending on your doctor some start checking around 36 weeks mine won't until 39 weeks unless you're contracting. You can check yourself actually but you'd have to know what to feel for.
