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.
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.
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’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.
@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
@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.

They started checking me at 36 weeks and I allowed them because I was high risk. I had her 38+6 due to placenta no longer working

I do remember them being uncomfortable. I go when I'm 34+5 so Wednesday so they should be going to weekly after that appt.
