During pregnancy, pelvic exams become the norm. Typically, doctors perform these exams during the first and third trimesters of pregnancy in order to assess the health of the mom-to-be. They also assist in the discovery of whether or not she has any symptoms of preterm labor or potential complications. During the later weeks of pregnancy, doctors also assess a woman’s cervix. Signs of thinning or dilation could indicate imminent labor. Doctors also perform pelvic exams if there are complications like spotting during the pregnancy. This allows doctors to assess whether or not any underlying problems causing the bleeding.
