when did your doctors start checking you to see if you are dilated? I'm 35 weeks today

He checked me at 36 weeks. And will not check again til 39, which is next Thursday for me. I think it is because they don't want to run the risk of infection always sticking their fingers up there. Unless your showing signs of labor, they will probably wait.

Mine started at 39 weeks, but my OB purposely waited until later because she likes to limit any sort of pelvic exams during pregnancy. Some check a lot earlier and weekly.
