When did your doctor start checking you for dilation/effacement? Also, what's it like?

its like getting fingerd except it Hurts

38 weeks and it kind of hurt actually.

I got checked at 37

36 weeks and it wasn't bad at all. I found out I'm measuring 37 weeks.. my cervix is soft and thinning and im 1.5cm dialated.. it was a tad uncomfortable but it was over as fast as it started.

tell them to be slow and steady. dont let them just shove their hand in there all fast. it will HURT SO BAD you will cry haha. if they go slow it doesnt hurt at all though.

I never got checked until I went into labor and it isn't pleasant honestly.

35 weeks

My first cervix check for dilation is my next appointment at 36 weeks

bout 35weeks
