when do they start checking your cervix

Cervical checks during pregnancy are typically started in the late third trimester, often around 36 to 37 weeks, but the exact timing can vary by individual and provider. Some people may have them earlier if there are symptoms or specific medical indications, while others may not have routine checks every visit in the final month unless labor induction or other concerns are planned. Always follow your clinician’s guidance, and feel free to ask them directly why and when they plan to perform a cervical examination for you.
