When doctor does internal exam they can touch the cervix which is the mouth of the uterus. The cervix during pregnancy is long thick and tightly closed. Closer to delivery it becomes shorter and softer. Hence doctor can predict that delivery will happen soon.

Pelvic examination is generally done close to full term. This is to assess the cervix. Prior to that it is not required.
