33+3 Dr. Appt. ( needs your help)

[alexsgurly]

Im a Ftm and just curious about a few things.
I have a Dr. APPT. Coming up. I was wondering what my doctor appt should consist of. Ill be 33+3 on my appt. Will she start checking my cervix, or what would take place?! Help take my worry away. I seem to be a worry wart since ive found out I am pregnant. Lol

My doctor hasn't done an U/S to check the size, but he does check with a measuring tape each time, and position. I'm not sure about the vaccine. If your doctor says no I wouldn't get it.

Has your Doctor told you an estimate of how much your baby weighs? I am actually going every 2 weeks already. My doctor really hasnt even felt my stomach to check my babys position. Also I asked her about the pertussis shot and she said I cant take it while pregnant but after. Is that true?

Nothing really changes til 35-36 weeks. Ask for ur pertussis vaccine if u want it and haven't recieved it.

I think you may start going every two weeks depending on your doctor!(:

They won't check your cervix til about 36+ weeks, if they do at all, some doctors don't like to check it because it can introduce bacteria, my next appt. I'll be about 33 weeks and mine will just be routine checking position and fundal height, same as always. My doctors appt.'s my last pregnancy didn't change at all til about 36+ weeks.
