is this normal?

edited April 2011 in Pregnant
So I will be 36 weeks on sunday and I was just wondering if its normal to not be checked vaginally? I had a pap at 9 weeks at my first doctors appointment but I haven't been checked since and I've been having contractions since I was about 32 weeks. I was just wondering if anyone else has had anything like this. I kinda feel like my doctor isn't doing her job. Help?

  • I will get my first vag check since the beginning at 36 weeks... yay i cant wait
  • Im 38 weeks on mon n i've been checked since 32 weeks everyother week till 36 but i've had lots of pressure contractions off n on n possible preeclamsia now so... but with my first three i got checked weekly from 36 until i delivered
  • You can ask them to check u and ur doc should!
  • I am not sure, I heard you get one toward the end again usually. But just feel lucky because I have been 'checked' like 5 times now because of contractions... I can't wait for my vagina to be left alone again!!! I hate them:(
  • Yup i will be once a week from 36wks to delivery
  • Mine starts at 36 wks to but as soon as I told then I was having lower back pain at 32 wks I got checked every wk from then on.
  • My ob won't check me till next week at my 39wk... they say its for risk of infection and they don't want to be poking around and accidentally start labor early ;)
  • My doc wont start til im 38 weeks
  • Ok thank you everyone for responding :)
