Midwide doesn't check cervix at a 39 weeks emergency check up

[tilda0]

I'm at 39 weeks, had a rough night, feeling very achy all over my body and nauseous. We called the midwive in the middle of the night and they asked me to come for a check up this morning. The midwife checked my urine, blood pressure and belly. That's it. Isn't it weird? I wish she checked my cervix. My mum never had contractions when she was pregnant...But according to the midwive there is no genetics theory.
Now I am feeling ok, my belly is just sensitive.

What do you think?

ps: I'm in Sweden.

you need regular contractions to make any change to your cervix. 99.9% of people will notice these. Being achey and nauseous is not going to make your cervix dilate.

No need to check the cervix, if all the other checks are normal. If you are in pre labour, it won't make any difference to your care at this point. The only time I might consider it would be if I suspected premature labour.

No, absolutely normal. Unnecessary examinations are an infection risk.

Thanks for your opinions! @BadlyParkedRangeRover @mayhew @MrsJoshDun
Now I don't feel angry anymore :)

Good luck for active labour!
