checking cervix

[orchestra_2]

So I will be 36 weeks on this thursday and my doc wants to start checking my cervix from here on out starting at this 36 week appointment. This is my 2nd pregnancy and with my first he waited until 37 or 38 atleast. Dose anyone think that 36 weeks is early since im not considered full term yet to check? Or do a lot of doctors do it at 36?

Thanks everyone :) yeah I guess docs do it a lot more often during this time than i thought lol. Im excited to see how it will turn out!

Everywhere its different. My doc starts to check at 36 weeks every pregnancy.

I was first checked at 36 weeks.

It is your second pregnancy, so sometimes you go sooner...or so I've heard..

[mamavivi909]

I think that's early. I didn't get checked till 39 weeks

Mine didn't check until I was already in labour. They offered a membrane sweep at 39 weeks but I declined.

Mines start checking me at 36 weeks as well and had already dilated 1cm

i was checked at 36 weeks when they did my strep b test and was actually a 1 already

My OB started checking me around 35-36 wks , its just that every OB is diff.

I started getting checked at 36 maybe it all depends on this pregnancy medical history,I was dilated already when he started checking me only because I had sings of early labor I think

Yes. It might stir things up. I'd at least wait until 38 weeks.
