do you get internals at 36 weeks?

Just wondering, I cant remember from when I was pregnant with my son lol.

Ive got my 36 week midwife appointment next week, Ill be 36+2 when I have my appointment, do they give you an internal to see if you are dilating or anything?

Thanks xx

No, they don't do internal checks in the UK without a reason at all, until you have a sweep which isn't usually until 41 weeks I think.

Typically you get your Strep B test done at 36 weeks and that is done internally.

Only in the US; UK ladies aren't routinely tested xx
