35w appointment today

So I've seen several of you post your doctor regularly sees you every week or so and measures baby via ultrasound, checks for protein in your urine...but. my health care provider doesn't?? Should I be requesting they do these things? I read somewhere they should be checking my urine every appointment and seeing me more regularly but no one has mentioned it at all...
All they did today was the gbs swab (actually I had to do it myself...I found that really odd) and look at my fluid levels.
