My MWs' office doesn't do checks unless we request them, and even then I feel like they would look at me a little sideways if I requested one and I completely understand why, but I have to admit I am a little jealous because I am super nosy and would like to know, even though I know it doesn't mean anything (wow, that was a very long sentence, sorry!). I have been having a lot of contractions the last two days and terrible menstrual cramps constantly so I was wondering if I am progressing at all...I have it in my head that this LO is going to be late...
Re: A Little Jealous of Your Cervical Checks
Freya Lillian - 11/15/15
My Dr. offered on Tuesday and it got my curiosity up so I said sure. I was not quite at 1 cm and about 50%. However I will now say NEVER AGAIN unless required, I seriously felt like she was trying to check my tonsils from the wrong end, lol. I told DH I see how curiosity killed the cat now. Maybe I'm just a baby, but to each his own, ask if you really want to know.
I am curious just like you, but after some serious contractions, cramping, etc. all week and a painful cervical check today with ZERO progress.... let me just tell you that sometimes it's better off not knowing
