32 week dr apt?

Question

What should I expect? Still havent had TDAP or another pelvic exam since the beginning. this is my first child, so im still in the dark about what happens when.

Answer

You shouldn’t need a pelvic exam after the initial one. I don’t think there was anything different at 32 weeks. At my 35 week appointment my midwife felt to see the position of my baby and did a super quick (like 20 second) ultrasound because she wasn’t positive he was head down. My practice doesn’t do cervical checks unless requested (and I did not) because dilation before (and even during) labor doesn’t tell you anything and it can increase your chances of an infection or having your water rupture prematurely. I think some practices start that at 36 weeks.
