A member asked:
Advantages and disadvantages of not having cervix checked at 38+ weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aren't you curious?: The biggest advantage is that a cervix check will help your doctor know if your cervix is ripe or not. This can be important if an induction of labor is being considered. The disadvantage is a very slight increase in the rate of infection and the discomfort of the exam. Best wishes!
