Cervix checks: 10? 6 that I remember clearly, but once I was getting close the contractions were pretty distracting, there could have been a basketball team practicing in the room and I might not have noticed, nurses and residents were definitely just background noise. First when I was in labour and went to the hospital, they checked and it was not very dilated and I was sent home with some pain meds. Back to the hospital after my water broke, one check to make sure my water really had broken. That one hurt! Another three checks over the next 2-3 hours until I was at 8cm and they were ready to send me to the labour room. Another one once I was settled in that room waiting for the epidural doc to get there. After the epidural I was pretty focused on the contractions, which are still intense even when the pain is dialed back, and combined with being mostly numb down below, I lost track of how many cervix checks, maybe 4? It was a fast labour. Finally after one the nurse said "You're ready! But don't push, the doctor isn't here yet." I pushed anyway, there is no pause button at that stage, but the doctor arrived before the head was out, at least. Then after the birth delivering the placenta, then stitches, then checking on the stitches and vagina a few more times before I was sent home.
Different people, at least 8 during the birth, and 4 different people in exams during the pregnancy.
Visitors: who the heck has visitors while they're actively giving birth? I had my partner there and that's it. For the post-partum checks, they did kick visitors out for exams, or pull the drapes around the bed.
Pelvic exams during pregnancy: Maybe 10? Had more pre-natal appointments than that, but they don't check out the cervix at every one. Had one at 1 month with my family doctor, one on intake with my ob-gyn, and then weekly checks in the appointments toward the end of the third tri, plus the appointment where they swab for group B strep, which isn't exactly a cervix check but involves a swab in your vagina and rectum.
Of course not. Grateful to live in a time when all this medical attention is available, instead of just rolling the dice on dying in childbirth. (Plus I like being examined, or I wouldn't be on zity, now would I...)
