What to expect at 36 week appointment?

Question

FTM here and was wondering what should I expect?  I've got my appointment on Monday. I have already been diagnosed with GBS weeks ago so I don't think they'd have to do the swab test again, unless someone has experienced otherwise?  Anyway just looking for some insight so I can prepare myself. Thanks ladies!

Answer

Just had mine today! Had ultrasound, blood work for HSV, group B strep test- then the usual, weight, urine, BP

Answer

Mine was just weight, blood pressure and listen to baby's heartbeat. My doctor wasn't going to check my cervix until 38 weeks but I asked her if she would do she did.

Answer

Mine was a normal appointment. I don't have the gbs till next appointment (38 weeks) so it was blood pressure, fundal height, and asking if I had any questions.

Answer

My OB appointment will be weight, urine, BP, measure belly, heartbeat, GBS swab and possibly a cervical exam. And maybe we will schedule my induction?

I also have an NST and BPP ultrasound before that but I'm high risk.

Answer

Just left mine. Kaiser did the strep b swab, a quick cervical exam (both which were totally painless) and and ultrasound to check the baby's position.

Now I don't go back until 38 weeks which surprised me. I'm 38 years old and thought I would be seen more often at this point. But assuming since they're not worried I shouldn't either. Excited to ride out the next few weeks and meet me little one next month!

Answer

Theres no big difference between this appointment and all the others. Some doctors will give you the option to check for dilation. If you tested positive for GBS then they wont repeat it until your next pregnancy. If your belly is measuring small or there's anything of concern then you might get extra things such as an ultrasound or even a NST. Otherwise, its just a routine appointment

Answer

Just had mine. She just listened to baby's heart beat and checked me for dilation. Not a big appointment really
