I stared getting my first cervical checks AFTER I was 38 weeks so they might start at your next appointment

I’ll be 36 weeks Friday and starting to have symptoms. I asked my OB to check my cervix and she had no problem. I would ask her to do it

For me the cervical checks are uncomfortable and dilation only says so much. I got checked at 38 weeks with my daughter, and was barely 1cm - they scheduled me an induction date for a few days after my due date (just incase). The next day I ended up going into labor and gave birth to my first. In the meantime, my neighbor was 2-3 cm for 3 weeks and didn’t give birth til after her due date.

I liked knowing where I was at but I've heard cervix checks can cause complications. They also didnt check until after 38 weeks but you can always ask
