I defintely think it depends on the OB, but the general rule at my ob is

1-31 weeks = every 4 weeks
32-36 weeks = every 2 weeks
36-delivery= weekly

As for being checked, hopefully someone else has a good idea. I got checked last week when I was 32 weeks, but only bc I was contracting while the doctor was measuring my tummy and he decided he wanted to make sure those suckers wernt dilating me at all. With my other pregnancies, I believe he started checking my cervix around 34 weeks.
