Another cervix check question

For those who have had cervix checks before, are they painful? I feel like I've heard people say it is painful and my doctor mentioned last visit that at 36 weeks she will start checking my cervix each week until delivery. Anyone know any benefits of asking to wait until 39 even 40 weeks or risks of waiting? First time mom here. Thanks!

It risks introducing infection. And some women can be 4cm dilated for a month before labor and some wont be dilated at all until labor starts. So it's pretty useless. Unless you're the type of person that has to know

Thank you all. I think when the time comes as long as things are going smoothly, I will ask to wait until at least 38 weeks. If things are going well at that point I don't want to cause any unnecessary disruption. I trust my doctor with my life and love her dearly but that being said, she listens to my concerns and I don't think she'd see a problem waiting either.

They are uncomfortable. I️ haven’t had any yet with this pregnancy. They usually start at 36 weeks but I️ think I️ might decline since I️ know I’m group b strep positive. I’ll talk to my dr about it.

I have been getting checked since 25 weeks it hurts a little but not a ton

I got one a couple weeks ago because my cervix is very short. It wasn’t painful but it didn’t feel great. Only took a second though.

You can decline them if u want. Here in the uk cervix checks do not happen until ur in labour. 36 weeks is a bit early id b worried about infection.

It’s been 5 years since the last time for me and I’m not there yet with this baby, however I remember more discomfort than pain

Ladies who are 36 weeks and further... Does your doctor check your cervix each week? Mine said he's not checking mine until my due date which I think is crazy

bianca_rose Omg, yeah I understand your concern now. I hope you get him to change his mind
babyg407 Mine did on the 35 and 36th week and I was not dilated. When I went this
rhonda.otero @bianca_rose, me too @babyg407 oh ok well usually I thought they would put you on the monitor

Everyone getting their cervix checked and I'm just here like "I haven't got mine checked since 22 weeks and I'm not checking it again until I'm 40 weeks and in active labor. Ain't about to be unnecessarily putting your fingers in my vag." Amen. God is good.

ceeasquared @b3autymarkk23, If your having a normal, healthy pregnancy it's not necessary. A lot of OBs over do
ceeasquared @nelly1991, They brought it up once and I said no and that was that
leahmommy Lol I don't blame you

Is it normal to have pain where my stitches are a month later? I haven't had my 6 week check up yet. So annoying because I'm not allowed to wax until after the appt
