Hi im just wondering when will my midwife check to see if iv started to dialate?
I read that it was 35/36 weeks....to be honest i didnt even know they checked on your weekly visits...just thought they did that at the hospital when in labour.
Im going to be 34 weeks on friday so i was just wondering...and does it hurt?
Cheers

Heya Brooke,

I am now 38 weeks and i have never been checked for dilation, i wasn't with any of my other pregnancies either.

I know they check for this in the US and I believe in Australia too, personally i think they should do the check here too.

I am actually going to ask my MW to check if i am dilating or even if anything is actually happening down there on Friday at my next appointment, i don't know if she will or not but im gonna ask anyway, i will let you know if she does.

much love and best wishes

soz to butt in on ya post but i didnt no they checked for that either i thought they only did that when your in labour but my youngest is 6 so maybe things have changed since then.
