How often did the doctor check you after 36 weeks?

Question

I am 38 weeks I had my checkup now but the next appointment is on my due date on 40th week. Is this normal? Shouldn’t they give me another appointment next week? Should I call the doc and ask for one? How many appointments did you guys have?

Answer

Usually it’s once a week starting at 36 weeks. At least at my OB.

Answer

I never get checked until I'm in active labor but have always had weekly appointments beyond 36 weeks.

Answer

My doctor didn’t check me until 39 weeks.

Answer

Yeah I've always had an appointment every week starting at week 36.

Answer

Mine is weekly after 38 weeks im 40 weeks and now twice a week I go before I'm induced next week hopefully he comes on his own though,  you can ask to be seen again , and I regret asking to be checked twice because if it's not what you want to hear it's discouraging,  for me at least.

Answer

Just call up there and get an appointment scheduled. I usually schedule multiple appointments in advance before leaving the office.

My OB starts checks at 38 weeks and only once a week until birth.

Mine was weekly after 36 weeks and I was induced 37+3 so I only had one appointment left but scheduled all the way to 40 weeks
