When do midwives or OB start checking for dilatation? Starting at what week?

My ob won't do it till 38 weeks,and i had to ask about when they would check me

In uk, they won't check until 40 weeks unless there's a medical motif ( bleeding, pain...

My midwife didn't check me until I was more than 12 hours into active labor and I asked for an update. If you're not in labor or experiencing complications there is absolutely no reason to routinely check ahead of time. It doesn't tell you or your provider anything of any use whatsoever, and increases the risk of infection and cervical irritation. And you do have the right to refuse, if you have a provider who wants to do it anyway.
