Cervical Examination when 37 weeks pregnant
I would like to find out how necessary this cervical examination is from being 37 weeks pregnant onwards? The clinic has claimed that this is necessary because I am due anytime soon.
But I am healthy and there has been no issue with my pregnancy. I am highly concerned that the OBGYN does this to induce labour.

37 weeks of pregnancy is considered full-term pregnancy. So you might go into labour any time from today till 40 weeks pregnancy.
Rest assured that the obstetrician will not induce labour by doing a cervix examination. Do share your concerns with your obstetrician at the next check-up.
