What happened at your 36 week appointment?

At almost all of my last appointments since like 18 weeks, I go in, do blood pressure, urine sample, weight, baby heartbeat and the doctor measures my belly and asks if I have questions. Usually no more than 10 min tops. Anyone think anything different will happen with this appointment. Asking because I will be watching my niece this day and she will be fine sitting there if it’s like the rest of the appointments but we are getting close and I don’t know if he will be checking me or whatnot. Nothing was mentioned at my last appointment.

I had my 36 weeks visit last Fri. Just the typical stuff and the group B test

At my 36 week appt it was just a normal checkup (blood pressure, asking how I’m doing, Doppler) but she did the group b strep test as well. She also asked if I wanted to be checked for dilation but it wasn’t necessary

I just had mine this morning, they did BP, urine and cervix check. It was so fcking painful I screamed, swore and bawled my eyes out. Ask your doctor to tell you to take a deep breath, extra lubricate and go slow! You can opt out of these checks though, for some women it doesn’t hurt though 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m glad my husband was there to hug me after 😣

They started checking me at 36 weeks, not sure if this is standard at all practices
