Weekly appointments??

Destiny
I'm 37w3d and my last appointment was the 22nd of Dec when I was 36 weeks and I called to check the date of my appointment for this week because my dr told me that's how it was going to be from now on and my appointment date isn't until the 2nd of Jan.. which skips the 37th week all Together.. is that normal? With my last child after 36 weeks it was every week. And at my last check up at 36w I was 3cm dilated.. don't you think I should have one before then? Should I call and make sure it wasn't a mistake? Opinions?
