At which appointment did they start doing “internal exams”? Like checking your cervix? With my other 2 kids I know I had them before my 30week appointment. I’m high risk this time and I’m 35weeks and haven’t had one yet.
But my last kid was also 4 years ago and I know they change practices often. 😅

@icebergahead, I thought it was around 30weeks. So that makes sense. But I’m 35weeks now and haven’t had one 🧐

@jmariegarbaloff, okay that may be why then! No I’m not really concerned either way, I just was thinking today and I realized I hadn’t had an exam.

My doctor doesn't do them until 37 weeks and it's usually his patient's choice if they want it done or not

I never had one before labor. They’re not really necessary.

An up to date practice doesn’t do them until labor unless there’s a problem there’s no reason to do them at all

@iwannaplay, I live 2hrs away from my hospital so usually closer to 38/40weeks they check to see how dilated I am so I know to stay in town or not.

Normally after 30 weeks but it really does depend on your doctor

I think the norm is usually around 36 wks. I remember having them a lot sooner then that with my boys but I was high risk. Im 27 wks now and haven't had an internal check yet but they have been measuring my cervix with the ultrasound since mine's short.
