I was checked at 32 weeks because I was complaining of pressure and pain down there, I had also been in the hospital 2 times previously to the appointment for pre term labor. Usually they start to check around 36-37 weeks.

I got checked at 37 weeks.. Try asking your dr say you really feel the need for it.. I don't see why they wouldn't do it

I got checked the first time at 35 weeks, but only because I'd had some contractions already. My dr normally wouldn't check for the first time until 36 or 37 weeks.
