Cervix checks
Have any of you guys started with cervix checks ? If so when and what method ? I haven’t had one since 23 weeks and that was by ultrasound... 31 weeks tomorrow....with di/di twins
I only get checked if I have an issue like contractions or that one time I thought my water broke because one of my girls made my belly do a wierd pop sound... so far the outer cervical oz is open but the inner oz is closed still. No dilation and my cervix is still high...
I was informed that a cervix check does not need to occur until 38 weeks and even then can be declined until 40 weeks because they can cause infection as it is a greater chance of introducing germs deeper into the vagina...
I however get my cervix length checked every time I go to my perinatologist... measuring 4.7cm every time I've gone in...
Maybe they won’t check it anymore ... I have OB appointment this week and then start up again with weekly perinatal week after thanksgiving . I read they are painful too ... so I guess it’s best for them to stay out of there! Last time they checked mine it was around 4 for length ,
