They usually start at around 36 weeks. Once you start going every week.

when you switch to every week. cant remember when it is though. i think just the last month.

Answer by punxy_girl
Probably 35 weeks unless you start mentioning symptoms (contractions, mucus plug, discharge, etc.)

Answer by Wytecyde
Probably not until you are 38 or 39 weeks. It’s really not something to look forward to, it’s very uncomfortable.

I think my doctor did them the last month when I was doing weekly.

My doctor started at 37weeks but I know some doctors don’t check you at all because every time they check you it increases your chance of getting an infection

I had my first at 36 weeks. At 37 weeks I didn’t get one, but at 38 I did. At my last exam, my doctor said my cervix was softening, which is the first progress I’ve made so far. Good luck and congrats!

I think they checked me at 36-37 weeks.

Make sure your doc has long fingers. My midwife checked me…her fingers were so short…..I screamed in pain when she checked me.

Then they’ll check you a lot once you get into labor.
