I'm 30 weeks prego, when will my dr. start checking to see if I started to dilate any???

Answer 1

There is really no reason to do vaginal exams until you are actually in labour or there is a suspected problem, according to the new SOGC guidelines (which is in Canada)
Frequent un-necessary exams could introduce infection, or cause an intra partum complication (IE preterm labour or accidental rupture of membranes)

Answer 2

That's not uncommon. Some women start to dilate very early, and it isn't anything to worry about. I walked around for about 6 weeks dilated to 2 cm. I have heard some women dilate to 3-5 long before delivery and everything is fine. Your body is just preparing! Good Luck, and they should check every doc visit now too.

Answer 3

Usually at 32 weeks You should be going every two weeks now and then start going at 36 weeks every week. Unless you have any complications then he/she should check you if you have any concerns. If you are having a lot of pressure that would be an early reason for the doctor to check you.

Answer 4

My doctor started checking around 35 weeks. I believe most doctors start checking between 34 and 36 weeks unless there is some reason for them to begin checking sooner.

Answer 5

Usually around 35 or 36 weeks, unless you have had problems with early labor in the past.

Answer 6

I was about to ask the same quest. but he probably will start on your 1 a week check ups that what i think i did it w/ my last 2 kids

Answer 7

He or she should check between 32 and 35 weeks to see, depends on the doctor. Don't rush it!

Answer 8

In your last month. Usually at week 36 they start the examinations and feel for the baby's head, etc.

Answer 9

I got vaginal exams starting at 36 weeks (the same time you go on maternity leave). Thats when he would check to see if i was efaced at all or dialating at all.

Answer 10

Mine was around week 37 or 38.
