2nd/3rd trimester checkups?

Question

What happens at yours? I'm currently 30 weeks and I'll I do when I go in is give a urine sample, get weighed,  and my doctor listens to the babies heartbeat. Every single time. I see other girls saying their baby gets measured, should more be going on in my appointments or no?

Answer

Babies getting measured is the dr measuring where your uterus is. I didn't start getting measurmenta until about 20 weeks. I would get my weight taken. Pee in a cup. get my blood pressure. Hear my sons heart beat. Ask many questions I had and be on my way. Now sense I'm 26 weeks I get measurements showing where my unterus is and that lets the doctor know Babe is growing. It's all done on the outside with a tape measure. There is no reason for. It's a good thing. More tests and procedure are not always a good thing. Less is sometimes more.

Answer

Just depends on your clinic :) at the one I go to they so the usual which is weight, blood pressure, and urine test (every time) than Doctor comes in and tells me about what's new that week if there are any test we need to get done or if I have any questions than she measures my belly :) and we listen to my baby boys heartbeat 💙👶🏼 I will have an 3D/4D ultrasound this Friday I'll be 30w1d to see how much he weighs and how big he is and to check how far along I actually am because I my belly always measures 2/3 weeks ahead. He might be an October baby we will see 🍁🍂

Answer

That's what they do for me too.

Answer

I think the issue with the measurements is they don't mean much! As you can see from so many postings, people measure ahead or behind. They're just estimates and sometimes lead to more tests. So it depends on your provider. Some just trust everything is moving along smoothly unless they have reason to believe otherwise. I like this approach!

Mine is kinda in the middle. He measures me, says I'm above average but it doesn't mean anything. Baby looks normal size. That's it!

I've been consistently big and not showing extreme growth from one month to the next. So I'm sure that is what he's looking for.

Answer

I've never gotten my urine tested. 30 weeks. Every time I get my BP/pulse, weight, and they listen to baby's heartbeat

Answer

Same things for me. Basics. My midwife feels my uterus to keep track of how baby and uterus  is growing.

Answer

Im 27 weeks. They check my pee, weight, blood pressure. Then my doc checks the heartbeat and measures my stomach. I get bloodwork every other month because im on meds and have other conditions. Starting this week they will start checking my cervix because ive gone into preterm labor before so they are gonna be cautious.

Answer

Curious, what are they testing your pee for? I go every 4weeks (starting 2 weeks after next appointment) and they only do weight, blood pressure and fundal height at each appointment and then address any questions. I only peed in a cup once when I first went to the doctor and told her I was pregnant at 4 weeks. I'm 29w2d now

Answer

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I have had the same doctor all 3 times. With my first they measured me at every appointment. They did not until my weekly check ups for my second. This time around is the same, no measurements yet! I don't know why some they do and some they don't :/ I seen on here there other day someone say maybe when there is an issue they measure more ? I'm not sure on that either though

Answer

I'll be 30 weeks in less than 2 weeks and that appointment we are getting an ultrasound for fetal development. To measure the baby, get a weight which hasn't been done since 23 weeks about. My anatomy scan was perfect no issues or any concerns, so doctor is hoping that's the case still now. See how the baby is positioned also. But I go every 2 weeks now and they usually only do a urine test, my vitals, belly measurement and Doppler. It's pretty standard. I think I have one more scan in the last month of my pregnancy that's about it. Nothing exciting lol
