No US or exams?

Question

Am I think only one whose last ultra sound was around 20 weeks and hasn't even gotten any exams yet? I just get the heart rate Doppler then asked have you had contractions or bleeding and then told "Have a good day." Nothing else. I'm 34 weeks and I'm getting kinda worried about how she's developing, how big she is, how she's positioned, if she's gained / gaining correctly etc. I'm 5'4 and weighing at 130.3lb, starting weight was 120.6lb so that's why I'm nervous that maybe somethings wrong.

-EDIT- I should have mentioned, in the beginning I was considered high risk due to having a LEEP not even a yr ago with a history of 2 miscarriages and cervical measurements came in on the shorter side. Luckily just got by without having to get a cerclage though. My last visit I measured smaller than the one prior.

Answer

Nope this sounds like my second pregnancy baby was great your low risk so no need to do extra

Answer

Take it as a blessing. If your doctor was constantly sending you for tests youd be stressed about something being wrong. I just had my prenatal for 29 weeks and my doc said he was doing perfectly so i wouldnt have to come in till 32. Im thankful. Hate hospitals.

Answer

Sounds normal. I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow and only have to get another ultrasound tomorrow bc I'm measuring too small. As long as your fundal measurement is within range...I wouldn't worry. I'm small too (5'3" 112lbs). Haven't gained nearly what I was told I would (yet anyway, watch I ballon up now that I said that ;)

Answer

As long as your fundamental height measures on time(from pelvic to top of uterus ) and heartbeat is normal and your ultrasound scan looked normal , there will be no need until very close to 40 weeks. Do not worry and take as a good thing baby is fine

Answer

I only got an extra ultrasound bc I was measuring small.

Answer

My appointments are the same, any time I want to know more, I just ask.

Answer

Totally normal, I was told at my 28 week check up that I would not be getting any more ultra sounds and still doing 4 week check ups. I ended up going in for heavy bleeding on Sunday and they found lower levels of fluid. Now I will be getting another ultrasound on Friday.

Answer

That's pretty much normal. Most insurances only cover 2 US unless there are issues. I have pregnancy medicaid for this baby (#3) so I have had 4 US, which is pretty cool. Just got my last at 32 weeks and it should be the last one I get.

Answer

Nope that's normal.
