My gynac hasnt done any internal check yet and im 30 weeks now. Just curious when do these cervical checks usually start na? Don't want to be unprepared when it happens.
Arrey, don't stress too much about this, it usually starts only in the last month around 37 weeks. It is just a quick check to see how things are progressing. Just take deep breaths when they do it, you've got this girl!
I am planning my pregnancy right now and reading about all these checkups is making me so curious! It's so helpful to know when all this actually happens. Does every doctor do this, or is it only if you want a normal delivery?
Wait, do they really start only in the 9th month? I am still pregnant and my doc hasn't mentioned this at all yet, so I was getting a bit confused. Is it painful when they do it, or is it just normal discomfort?
Actually yaar, for me it started around 36 or 37 weeks during my regular checkup in Mumbai. My doc was super chill and told me it's just to see if the baby is ready. It feels a bit uncomfortable but it is totally normal, so don't worry.
I am in my 2nd trimester now and just thinking about these checks makes me slightly anxious. Did anyone else feel really nervous about this part when you were at this stage? I keep wondering if it's really necessary for everyone.
I felt so scared and emotional when my gynac first mentioned doing a cervical check around my 37th week. I felt a bit overwhelmed because I didn't know what to expect, but honestly, it was over so quickly. It's just to check if the cervix is dilating.
Since I ended up having a C-section, they only did a couple of cervical checks when I went into labor to see if I was dilating. The healing process after my surgery was my main focus, but looking back, those checks were just a small part of the whole journey. Just stay relaxed and breathe through it.
