It's not a need to chk unless you want them to, there is no pain and what is it telling you anyway? You can be dilated and still not go anywhere for a while (dilation wise) weeks, bc average pregnancies are 41.5 weeks.

My dr didn't check either because I wasn't having pain. They only checked because I asked

It's up to you on what you want, not her body.. my midwife didn't recommend it until 37 weeks, but said she would if I really wanted her to.

I never got checked until I hit 38 weeks

uh no..checking your cervix should be done regardless

Mine has checked me every week since 35 weeks
