Pregnancy Check Up, Is This Standard ?
Hi! I am 38 weeks pregnant . My doctor says it is not necessary to check my cervix until I start having contractions. Is this standard ? My doctor also says I do not need another ultrasound . I only had one at 20 weeks. My sister insists that is not normal. What do you recommend ?

Hello,
It is not necessary to check your cervix before you get contractions.But i would advise getting an ultrasound as there should be one done for each trimester.
