Went to the doctor today, is it normal for them not to check my cervix or check for any dilation at 37 weeks? I figured since I'm a little less than 3 weeks from my due date that they'd let me know if I was dilated any or not but all they did was a normal checked. Urine, blood pressure, belly measurements and heart beat... I also let her know about the light red mucus I had yesterday and she said it is most likely from my cervix thinning.
