I do understand the curiosity though as I've had it and I can vouch for being deflated when an internal revealed I was 1cm at 39 weeks, especially after a stack of strong BH's.
I asked for a S&S to which to OB obliged and it hurt like the blazers (I mean really hurt) and didn't do anything anyway but stain my knickers on the way home as it dislodged a bit of show.
I can understand both opinions, but at the end of the day it is your decison & I think it's a shame when you actually tell people what you "have"decided they don't just accept it. If you asked for their opinion...like now for exp then fair enough.
I guess if you are happy for them to do so & so are they then that's all that matters.
My doc was very old school (don't get me wrong.....a great Doc), but he always did an internal at around that time for all his patients & will say I left that appt feeling the most "violated" I have ever, ever felt. It was horrible, but that's my experience.
