When did you ladies start getting checked to see if your dilating? I am 36 weeks 4 days and not once have any of my doctors checked to see if I am or not.. Only been checked to see if my son is head down, and he is.. Last week I went and the doctor said that she didn't wanna check to see if I was dilating cause she didn't wanna "mess with my cervix" 😕 or "get things started" those were her words... FTM

I had a catheter and it didn't bother me! But checking to see how much I've dilated killed me! I'm seriously dreading the next time.... Maybe your doctor is nicer than mine hahah
My doc said she will start checking me every week beginning at my 36 week appointment
@sunshine1, I laugh when they check my cervix.. Even when I got a catheter done 😂
I guess some doctors may be more gentle than others, because I've heard it hurts some women but not others. I literally almost cried it hurt so bad though. Then I lost my plug and had my bloody show 2 days later, so I'm wondering if it triggered that
I just got checked for the first time at 36 weeks. Be thankful you haven't, it really hurt me!
My doctor checked me at my last appointment and I was 36 weeks
Don't worry that's normal for some doctors. Mine is the same way! I didn't get checked till 39 weeks
It's when they try to separate your membranes from your uterus to try and naturally induce labor.
Yeah it was a nasty feeling I'm like ewww but glad my water broke cause I didn't want them too induced me at all and yeah ask your doctor about that too see when they gonna check if you dilating tell them ur concern and want too be check too see if u are dilating
They don't want to start checking until at least 37 weeks because it could jump start labor
My doctor told me to many vaginal exams can cause a infection. I was getting induced so at 37 weeks they checked me and tried to sweep my membranes but they couldn't because I was fully closed.
I've heard of both. Some doctors dnt want to mess w ur cervix bc they dnt want to force labor to start, & then I've also heard of them checking u at 36 weeks. I guess it depends on the doctor. I go for my 36wk check up Tuesday so I guess I'll know which way my doctor goes then..
@pregnancy2, @ak16 @sharondap2005 my momma was kinda concerned about why they weren't checking to see if I'm dilating she said that its weird that they haven't started yet.. Hopefully Tuesday when I go to my appointment they will but idk 😣 and ewwww so when my water breaks I hope I'm on the toilet, at home, or in shower cause that sounds gross.
they should be checking at 36 weeks and when your water breaks the discharge looks like snot and bloody looking
Around 32 weeks they always check me even though I get C-sections she still checks to make sure we are on schedule
When does the doctor normally start checking you to see if you have started dilating?
I can't stand my doctors office they won't start checking to see if I am dilating until 38 weeks😡... my doctor with my first daughter started at 36 weeks and seen I was already dilating this should be fun
Doctor said she is checking me Monday for dialation. I will be 36 weeks. I didn't realize our body's dilated so early ?
I just absolutely love some women on here! Some woman wants to write on another women's post telling her she shouldn't be having sex at all in the beginning of pregnancy. I didn't know she was her doctor. Then she wants to tell me that the first trimester is only 1-9 weeks pregnant. And she lost her baby at 4 weeks pregnant due to sex. Like sweetie that's your period starting!
What week do doctors check to see if you started dilating any?
@sunshine1, I have four doctors.. I met two.. First one was kinda mean ish and the second one was a sweetheart
