Advice on Appointments

Sorry if it’s lengthy!

I will be 33 Weeks on Tuesday. My monthly “appointments” have been Group Centering Classes with other pregnant women (all due in December) at Kaiser. Once a month, the same 2 midwives hear baby’s heart beat & ask us how we’re all doin individually before our sessions start.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE these sessions with fellow preggos! However, I feel that now that I’m THIS far along, we should be seen not only biweekly, but by a doctor to check if we’re dilating (those of us due in early December).

Should I try to go ahead & schedule my own appointments from this point out with an actual doctor while attending these classes?

Or is it not as necessary as I’m thinking? I’m a FTM so I’m confused!
