[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a doula and have worked with WISDOM.  They do do internal checks.  It just depends on the situation.  In my experience, if labor seems to be progressing well, they will not do exams, or may do an initial exam but then no more after that.  I've had clients who asked not to be told what their dilation was.  I've never had anyone with WISDOM get zero checks -- all have at least had the initial check in triage.  But perhaps that's negotiable and it just happened that none of my clients were interested in declining.

[quote=Anonymous]Not to sidetrack to much, but the wisdom midwives do internal checks? I told my midwife at the first appointment I didn't want any and she said that's fine as they don't generally do them anyway. Wondering if I should address this again. It was my understanding that they follow the body's signals, not the cervix. [/quote][/quote]

What's the point of the check in triage, to see if they should stay at the hospital or something? I mean, what do they think is the point of that check? I find that annoying. Plus, I think the cervical checks I got with my first was literally the most painful part of my entire (drug free) labor.

I was told the triage check was to establish a baseline [/quote]
