Dr hasnt checked me yet.

So im 36 weeks ftm and monday is my next dr appointment. A girl at work was shocked to hear my dr hasnt even been near my AREA yet. He told me if im not having any issues or concerns down there he doesnt want to put me through an uncomfortable check. Which im fine with. Monday hes doin a group b strep test so im goin to have him check my cervix. Has anyone else had a dr wait till the end to check you?

Yea the only reason i am having him check is because today i was having short sharp pains to my pelvic floor randomly. So im goin to have him check to be sure im ok. But the girl who was shocked had 2 kids and acts like she knows how everything goes with all pregnancies... which is rather annoying. I was never worried or stressed about not being checked yet only wondered when it would happen but she irritated me.

Checks aren't necessary. They end up stressing more women out than anything if they aren't dilating or thinning. Plus being dilated or thinned doesn't mean labour is right around the corner. It coukd still be days or weeks away.

In Australia that does not happen till labor. Why do you want it to

I'm from the UK and here we aren't checked until in established labour,it's unnecessary really as it doesn't make any difference whether your dilated or not. Although I'm sure you can ask.
