Are Weekly Cervical Checks Really Necessary?
This episode gets real about the routine use of weekly cervical checks in pregnancy. I dive into the science (or lack thereof) behind these exams, exploring:
- The supposed benefits (spoiler alert: they're questionable)
- What research actually says (think "meh")
- Potential downsides, including discomfort and infection risk
- Why your body is the ultimate birth guide
PLUS: Learn empowering alternatives to cervical checks and how to confidently say "no thanks" to unnecessary interventions.
