Doctor check ups

[Ftmommy915]

when do doctors usually start checking the vagina at appointments like week wise? I'm almost 35 weeks and kinda assume it's starting soon & what exactly are they checking for?

They started checking me at 36 weeks, first time i was crampy after. At 37 weeks my doc "broke a band" she said i may have some spotting which ended up being a pool of blood. I would recommend bringing a pad w you just in case. And also started my dilation. 38 weeks today and just waiting on these contractions to get a little closer together.

36 weeks. They do weekly cervical checks to see how dilated and defaced I am

Mine didnt bother as she stated that i would still need contractions to start and/or water to break before id be admitted

My doctor told me they would start at 38 weeks but I can wait cause to me it hurts really bad

It depends on the Dr.  I'm 38 weeks and requested not to be checked unless I'm in labor. They did say that if I go past my due date they will have to check me in case I need to be induced they will have to see if I'm thinning or dilating at all.

I am 38+4 weeks and they started checking my cervix at 36 weeks. They check to make sure your cervix is thinning and to see if your dilated any.

I'm not to sure when they start I can't remember I'm 33 weeks & haven't been checked yet. I no they check your cervix to make sure it's thinning out & to check for dilation
