Is it weird that my doc hasnt looked at my cervix since my first appointment

I am currently 27 weeks and he hasnt done and internal exam since 5 weeks... Is this weird? I have been having alot of braxton hicks and things and am a bit worried maybe some of those were actual contractions adn tehy could have dilated me... is it normal for him not to do an internal at this point in pregnacy?

I wish I could say my doctor hasn't checked me... lol.. I have had so many checks that I am starting to wonder if all the prodding will help me dialate more.. ahaha..

I don't think it's abnormal for it not to happen.. it will soon enough, and if something does happen, believe me.. you will be checked.. probably more then once in a setting!

I know, it's really exciting when you get to 2 week appointments!!  Means it's close!  I have one on April 15 along with a u/s because today I was measuring 34 weeks! I'm only 30w...not sure what it means....

that seems alittle late for my taste..lol
I wonderd a few times if I was dilating down there? I will carry so low at times that I fill like shes comming out. yikes.. I guess when the time comes I will know it for sure.. smile
I will fill so much better when I get to 35w. then I can relax more and try to enjoy whats left.
yea.. poupoune. I was glad when I hit the two week checkup point too.. lol when is the once a week point? lol
I just fill EVERYTHING with this one!  oh I hope this dosent mean I will fill everything with the labor part omg....

i justhad my first internal yesterday, at 32 weeks, and that was only becuase i was having contractions so he wanted to check my cervix.

otherwise, he wouldn't have examined me.

i thought it was weirdtoo, andhad posted a few weeks back about it.all the other girls posted the same thing, no internal exam, only peeing and listening to HB at the appointments.
