Most at 36 weeks. I got checked today at 35 weeks but I have been diagnosed with pre eclampsia and will deliver at 37 weeks.

I was checked at 36 weeks the first time. They checked me again today, I'm 37+4, and I'm 1.5 cm dilated 70% effaced.  So I suspect that the will check me at my next appointment too if I've not gone into labor by then.

This is my 3rd baby, and I have never been checked internally. My Dr.'s don't think it's necessary and doesn't give any pertinant information.  It could potentially introduce infection. Baby will come when it's ready!
