It's been more than 6 years since my last pregnancy and I just can't remember when the cervical checks started.
So, when did you start having the more 'invasive' appointments??

My doctor didnt start them until 38 weeks. Thank God
-
mine didn't until 37 weeks
-
I asked for one at 36 weeks, got the next at 40 weeks just b/c my MW is officed out of town and wanted to see if maybe she should wait around, and then the next when I was in early labor.
Next time I don't think I'll have any until labor.
-
I think 37 weeks. It was terrible. I refused any for the rest of my pregnancy, and will refuse any in future pregnancies as well.
-
36 weeks then again at 38 weeks.
-
Mine start at 35! That's 1.5 weeks a way, oooo-ooooh...(actually I'm excited to know if there's progress! but I can see myself being disappointed if there's none)
-
I won't be having any, at all, during pregnancy or during labor.
I chose not to and my midwives will respect that decision barring a serious need, in which case we would discuss it then. -
37 weeks.
-
I didn't have any (much to my happiness!)
-
My OB overview sheets says first one at 36 weeks, nothing at 37 and 38, but checks again at 39 and 40.
-
I won't be having any, thankfully I didn't even have to request it! My doc just doesn't do them routinely unless there is cause for concern.
-
Interesting to see such difference responses.
I plan on asking if I remember at my next appt. Granted I'm only 25wk 3days but I'm trying to remember how it all went down in the 3rd trimester.
I am having growth scans starting 28/32/36 weeks and then starting at 32wks I'll have weekly NST and ultrasounds due to my high risk status.
So, I don't know if the internal checks will be any different time wise or not. But, it's all about to get busy real quick. -
Mine doesn't start till 38 weeks. Had my first today. It didn't feel good, but it didn't hurt as bad as I expected it to either.
-
I had one at 35 weeks, didn't have one at 36. My 37-week appointment is this week, we'll see. I also think he just did the 35-week one because I was getting the GBS swab and he was already down there lol.
-
Mine didn't start until 39 weeks actually! I wasn't progressed at all, but a week later, I gave birth!
-
My midwives don't do them unless you want them. I don't plan to have any until I'm in labour, and even then I'd like to keep them to a minimum.
-
36 wks
-
I'm hoping not to have any!!
-
36 weeks. I actually was going to refuse them, but after talking with my midwife, we decided that I would have the first one to check the baby's position, at least, since I thought he might have flipped. He was breech, so we didn't do any checks after that since I was going to have a scheduled c-section at 39 weeks.
-
I had one at 37 weeks, because I was having pre-term contractions for a couple weeks prior. I'm not going to have any more, though, unless I go to 41 weeks.
It was awful, and I'm so glad I don't have to have them weekly.
-
36 weeks!
-
I don't really want any. It doesn't seem like they are necessary??
-
@aprk: They aren't really necessary, except maybe in the case of preterm contractions to see if you are dilating too soon. Other than that, they are pretty pointless.
-
36 weeks!
