I'm having my 3rd scheduled c/s on Thurs., and I only have had 1 internal in 3 pregnancies, and that was this time around b/c I was having contractions every 6 min last week, and my dr wanted to see if I was dialated at all.

My doctor said unless my NST's are showing contractions then she won't check me for fear of starting things up in there and having to perform an emergency c-section. I have GD and baby is measuring very large, especially her abdomen, so things can get dangerous starting on their own (her getting stuck trying to come down).
Re: End of the road appt with RCS?
It probably depends on your Dr.
With DS1 my OB had short fingers and let's just say that getting checked was unbearable.
With DS2 being a RCS my new OB agreed that it really wasn't necessary and didn't do them.
So I would at least ask if I were you
I only had one internal check at I was 39 weeks. So I am thinking my doctor will not check me.
ETA: I had a emergency c-section with DD.
