My doctor mentioned a 'cervical check' for my upcoming appointment, and I'm a bit nervous as I don't know what it involves. Can someone explain what a cervical check is during pregnancy and what happens during it?
Because of my PCOS history, I was always extra cautious. The cervical check is just a routine exam in late pregnancy to check dilation, nothing to worry about.
After my previous loss, every physical exam made me nervous. The doctor does this check gently in the last weeks to see if labor is near, just trust your gynac.
Oh my god, I was so anxious about this and kept googling! It's just a quick finger test by the doctor to see if the cervix is opening, just try to breathe and relax.
I remember my first cervical check, I felt so vulnerable and started crying a bit, but the doctor was very gentle. It's just a normal step to prepare for baby's arrival.
It's just a quick manual exam done by the gynac in the final weeks to check if you're ready for delivery. Make sure it's included in your routine checkup cost so there are no surprises.
