Cervical/internal checks in 3rd trimester

[tellytubby]

i didn't have any internals with DD until the day my waters broke! I hope this makes you feel more comfortable!

I had my first internal 6 hours into labour!
Dont worry

All these comments have been really really useful and insightful. My neighbour said she had examinations from earlier than 38 weeks (like for almost two months!) and that is what got me thinking if I should have at least had one. She might have had a completely different reason or complication that she didnt mention.

I am much more comfortable now - glad I havent (until labour arrives that is!) been internally examined as it is not the most pleasant of things! lol

Many thanks for all your comments. I wait for baby to arrive now!

I can understand why you feel that way! I remember from about 35 weeks -- every time I went to see my obstetrician I was expecting to have to drop my pants and it would make me feel so nervous but it never happened!
