When do pregnant women have internal exams

Generally pregnant women have an internal examination at 39 weeks of pregnancy, which needs to be performed by a specialized physician. Internal examination means vaginal examination, which is usually performed at 39 weeks of pregnancy to assist in measuring the size of the pelvis, and to understand how the fetal head enters the pelvis, cervical ripeness, etc., and to guide the pregnant woman in choosing the mode of delivery. For those with normal fetal position, good incidence of fetal prenatal exposure and normal fetal heartbeat, a transvaginal trial of labor may be performed. During pregnancy, we should strengthen the management of pregnancy, strictly follow the doctor’s instructions and take obstetric checkups on time, and in the late stage of pregnancy, we should strictly self-count the fetal movements to self-assess the intrauterine status of the fetus. When abnormal fetal movement, abnormal vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding and other abnormalities occur, go to the hospital in a timely manner, and under the guidance of the doctor to actively treat the symptoms.
