Honestly that all depends on your doctor and your pregnancy...if you have a low risk pregnancy more than likely you wont have another ultrasound...as for the checks some docs start cervical checks weekly around 36 weeks while ive heard others dont do them until your due.  They will check your utuerus measurements every time though to make sure everything is looking fine.

No more ultrasounds. Yes they will start checking for dilation and continue measuring your stomach.
