Good to check it, but it is very uncomfortable. Hurts a bit too. But, they can strip your membranes to get labor going.

That's the least uncomfortable part of childbirth unfortunately.

Yeaaaa in not getting it done. Forget that. The only one allowed to do that to me is my significant other. No thank you

They check for position of baby to make sure head is there, and not breech. Also to check if you're dialated. I am also 38 Weeks today, and will have my check-up in a few hours. NOT looking forward to it because it always stirs up the contractions! I'm pretty sure this may just get the baby going since he's been moving in position and causing all sorts of contractions lately!

It's optional and doesn't mean anything anyway.

What did they do when they checked it exactly. I have my exam next week and I know they'll check my cervix and I need to know if I'm going to have to be firm about my no or not
