Scheduled C-section and cervical checks

Good morning ladies. I hope everyone is feeling well this Tuesday! I am scheduled for a c-section in 3 weeks due to my baby being breech and no chance of him turning for various reasons. I have my weekly appointment today at 37 weeks and am wondering if they will still do cervical checks to make sure I am not dilated at all? I'm not sure what that would accomplish other than me maybe being prepared to go to the hospital earlier than 40 weeks for the c-section or totally freak me out. Does anyone have experience with this or thoughts?

    You can refuse them.

    Thank you! If he does suggest checking I am going to refuse. Doesn't seem like there is a reason. If the baby is ready early I'm sure I'll know. I've had an uneventful pregnancy so far (knock on wood) and it seems like less is definitely more when it comes to childbirth.

    My RCS is this Thursday and my dr. did an internal at 35 weeks along with the GBS swab. I asked for one at 37 weeks because of some contractions, but other than that it's completely up to me. She's willing to do internals at every appt., but leaves it up to the patient, that is for everyone, c/s or not. As PP said, you can refuse internals if you don't want one.

    I'm having a RCS but I'm going to ask to be checked tomorrow because I haven't been checked as of to date and I'm just curious to see where I am!!

    I am also having a c-section due to a breech baby (baby A).  I am having cervical checks but only because he is footling breech (doctor doesn't want him to descend any further as it can be dangerous) and I had a PTL scare at 33 weeks that landed me in L&D.

    If it wasn't for babies position, I would decline them as it doesn't really have any indication on when you will go into active labor with out things like contractions, water breaking etc.

    My doctor never checks me, and I have scheduled c-sections. If you aren't having any labor signs, she says there isn't much reason. I agree!
