Mine will not check before 36 weeks because it could cause you to go ito preterm labor.

Gastroschisis is an abdominal wall defect. During my first trimester when a baby goes through the whole development process her belly didn't close all the way up. So she has a small hole beside her umbilical cord in which her bowel is out of. After birth she will need surgery to put her bowel back inside and to close her up

It depends on your pregnancy.  If the baby has issues or you are high risk they check sooner. My daughter has been diagnosed with gastroschisis which children with this are usually born around 34 weeks so they checked me at 34 and I get weekly checks. But if everything is normal mist doctors check around 36 weeks
