Yes get a new doctor because this far into your pregnancy they should of checked all of that

36 weeks is when they start to check u.  Up until now ur visit only consist of urine, pressure, measurement and babies heart beat. did u do a glucose test a few weeks ago? Where u drnk the juice wait and get blood drawn? U should have gotten an anatomy ultrasound to ensure baby is growing properly and has all his/her parts?  If u had this then ur ok.. if u have concerns with the treatment and ur not satified, say something to the doc, if its a clinic where there other docs express ur concerns to the admisitrator I did and they call every few weeks to make sure I amok with the services.

Yes I had the glucose test & passed and blood work is good just recently they said I had a my blood pressure little bit high . I Haven't had anatomy ultrasound.  In my urine I been having blood in it and other things so basically uti throughout the whole pregnancy and I had a swab thing down there and I guess its positive she said to nothing really harmful so I'm guessing either when I give birth in my iv they will put some antibiotics I thought they would send me to the hospital . ):

I'm 37 weeks tomorrow and up until my appt yesterday I had only appts with urine, measurements and blood pressure.  I had 1 ultrasound around 19 weeks for measurements of baby, a glucose test at 27wks and my rh blood test at 28wks.   My doc said so long as you and baby are both healthy this is all they require.  Usually they do more tests for at risk patients and people who have problems.  The less they are testing you means the more "text book" like pregnancy you are having.  Be happy and thankful your little one is doing so well!  Not too long mama.  It will all be okay :-)

I did had one at 18 weeks but not from the clinic I went to a ultr school one it's free but whatever they did my clinic has no records I did tell her about but she didn't take it for consideration.

Clinic only gives one free ultr and if u wanted another they charge 40 bucks. But they checked me at 13 the baby wasn't even form that good to be measure .

Ask your doctor all of your questions, thats what they are supposed to be there for. How is your belly measuring? Have you heard any negative test results? Everything is probably just fine the dr just may not be giving you the reassurance you are looking for. Good luck, and make a list of uour concerns for the dr the next time you go (:

You should have gotten an anatomy scan around the 20 week mark. I don't know why you didn't... I'd ask your doctor about that...
