No, there can't really be a mistake. Checking the cervix for dilation is to really see how dilated your cervix is and to see perhaps where you are in the labor process. Doctors might not check the cervix if patients have certain conditions like a placenta previa where the placenta overlays the cervix, because that can cause bleeding. Other than that, checking dilation is textbook OB101!
