How u know if u dilating?

I am 38w + few days but my gynae doesnt seem to be bothered to check if i am dilating? He only say when water breaks, mucus plug or bloody show just straight go hospital. But ive heard from some mummies that their gynae will check for dilation from week 37 onwards? Can anyone share their experience?

Gynae/Dr will have to do membrane sweep as well as checking if you are dilating. This happened at 38 weeks onwards. They are to inform you in order for you to know if you are dilating or not. Whether likely you gonna giving birth soon or you gonna exceed EDD. Both pregnancy I had dilation check, membrane sweep and I was dilating 3cm. With this little info, I would then know if I would also be induce or prepared for any signs of labour.
