Yeah you should have been going every two weeks until this week then weekly. Doc may or may not check cervix as well, but deff should next visit. Depending on insurance coverage and type of pregnancy will tell you how many ultrasounds you get. I only got 1 for each but this pregnancy wasn't supposed to have any bc military thought it unnecessary. I have irregular periods so I got away with the dating one at almost 9wks and found out it was twins so now that I'm high risk, I can get one every 3 wks after 24wks

Wow at 28 weeks I started going every 2 weeks to my appt. I don't think you get many ultrasounds.

I havent had my 36wk appt yet, I am only 32wks, my next appt is this tuesday. Ive had 3 ultrasounds, most people only get 2 tho. The 1st is usually to find out how far along you are and the 2nd is the anatamy scan.

My sister in law is 37wks and at her 36wk appt her doc just checked her bp, weight and fundal measurments thing and listened to the babys heartbeat and that was it.

I am only 28 weeks 6 days so I am not sure what to expect at your appointment.... I have had 3 ultrasounds , the first was at 14 weeks to figure out my EDD and then one at 22 weeks for the anatomy scan , and due the baby's positioning they couldn't get all their measurements so I had to have my third one at 27 weeks.... I think most people only have 2 unless there are problems.... my mum went her last 2 pregnancies not having a single one.
