Do you still get internal exams if ..

you're a planned c/s? It doesn't matter if I progress or not, but they probably want to know if I am, but just wondering.

I had one yesterday, and I'm having a planned c-section. I have been feeling a lot of pressure, so my doc decided to check it out. No dialation though!

My dr said my only internal will be at around 36 weeks to check for something (not too sure what that is, lol). But other then that, I don't think they do it anymore after the that. Not too sure though. lol

This totally depends on your OB. Some will do one internal for a baseline comparator (just in case you end up going into labor naturally before your planned c-section); some will do regular internals to check to see if you're progressing naturally (again, just in case). So if you're really curious, ask your doctor.

My OB did not do an internal at 36 weeks and said he wouldn't be doing them as my c/s was planned. I went into labor 2 days after that appt. though, lol.

I have because if there was considerable progress they would hav moved up the date.

I'm having weekly internals and am having a planned c/s. If I were to suddenly have a bunch of progress we'd look at moving up my c/s. Odd to go in hoping for NO progress!
