I started getting internals at 26 weeks most every appointment. The only time I don't get them is when they do an ultrasound and can check up on my cervix that way. My OB's been keeping a close eye on my cervix throughout my pg because I have an irritable uterus that likes to contract a lot.

I started getting internals after they found out I had a short cervix at 20 weeks. My doctors chose to do internals rather than transvaginal ultrasound to check my cervix at each of my appts.
I think I had my first internal at 34 weeks my OB was very gentle, no spotting or cramping. Then I had one at 36 weeks the MW had long nails and I wanted to kill her. I spotted and had really bad cramps for the rest of the day. I had another internal at 38 weeks again my OB super gentle no spotting or cramping.
Congrats on making it so far, you're almost finished. I started getting internals weekly at 28w. I was having crazy BH's from my mid 20w's, so my OB wanted to make sure that I wasn't starting to dilate.
Re: 34 weeks!!!
Congrats on 34 weeks, way to go MOM!
Congrats!
I'm not getting internals, but that's because I have a scheduled c-section due to A's stubbornness.
Yay, congrats on making your 34 week milestone!!!
