When do they start poking around?

Does anyone know at what point they start to poke about with your insides? Or is it not until ur in hospital?

 

[pinkyprincess]

When you're overdue if you want it

Oh right ok so it's not normal practice then to have a look? I know it's the last thing I should be bothered about really
I feel like I can feel the baby's head low down today in my pelvis

Hey hun, if they have reason to theyl poke about lol. Iv been poked about at up there since 16 weeks at a good few of my appointments cause theyv been checkin on my cervix, and if iv been bleedin they go up for a nosey to see if everything still were its supposed to be lol. If you tell them your concerned or want them to look/check im sure they would, unless its somethin they'd be able to tell you without having to do an internal. Theyr not exactly comfortable chic so I wouldnt be pushin for it if im honest xx

I think they try not to if poss these days cos of the risk of infection. I've not been offered any kind of internal and tbh I wouldn't want one, my mw's hands are freaking huge lol xxxxxxxx

Hmm I don't think that they will then, I have had bleeding from 6 weeks and noone has had a look up there in regard to that?
