Cervical Check- Resident

Hello! I am 39w 3d pregnant and on Monday I saw a 2nd year resident who did a “cervical check and membrane sweep” I do not think he actually did this… Thursday I had a membrane sweep and check from another physician (not resident) and then Sunday early morning 2 checks in L&D because my contractions were close together but ultimately stopped when coming in (of course) That being said, I have experienced several cervical checks and 2 just the day before the exam Monday and genuinely did not feel like this resident did a proper check and sweep. It just felt like he swirled his finger after getting knuckles deep and said “Yeah I think you’re the same 3cm dilated 50% effaced. (this was charted) I’m a little disappointed but also wondering if I should message the physician and let them know that the resident might not know what they’re doing? I’m extremely uncomfortable even thinking/ saying this out loud but… what would you do? Guidance? Such a weird bizarre thing. submitted by /u/crabbiestflower [link] [comments]
