@mommyjay0579, yes the appointments have been weekly since 35 weeks for me. The cervix checks are so painful though, I wish I had turned down the first few because I wasn’t dilated at all so they were pretty useless.
@mommyjay0579, yes she was born healthy and perfect at 6lbs 18 1/2 inches long she’s now 9lbs and 20 1/2 inches but I think she’s more than 20 because she’s growing out of her newborn clothes
I’ve been getting them every week since 2 weeks ago 😐 I didn’t know they’re not necessary or that I was allowed to turn it down. It’s like the only thing they do at my appointments now other than tracking my weight and blood pressure.
With my son they started checking at 35 weeks because I was cramping a lot. I didn’t know at the time that I could deny it. This time I won’t accept any cervical checks until I’m in labor.
@mommyjay0579, I trust my body and I don’t enjoy strangers putting their hands inside me when it’s not necessary. Even in labor I don’t want to be checked more than a couple times.
I don’t see the purpose of getting checked. I don’t wanna bash the ladies that do, but for me it’s useless. I feel like you’re either in labor or you’re not and how dilated you were two weeks prior means nothing.
