If your pregnancy is progressing normally, you probably will be visiting our doctors and nurses every other week during this time period. At 36 weeks gestation, your provider may schedule weekly visits until your baby arrives. At each visit you can expect the routine:
Your weight measured
Your blood pressure taken
Your urine analyzed
Your abdomen measured to check you baby's growth (fundal height)
For many months, you have visited your midwife/doctor with a list of questions. Now you arrive with one more question; "Will this prenatal appointment be the last?"
By this point in your pregnancy, you will probably be visiting your midwife/doctor every two weeks. Certain tests and measurements are part of each visit.
Expect to have:
Your weight measured
Your blood pressure taken
Your urine analyzed
Your abdomen measured to check your baby's growth (fundal height)
Your baby's heartbeat listened to
Because you are entering the latter stages of pregnancy, your provider may choose to perform a vaginal exam at any visit.
At around 28 weeks of pregnancy, your doctor/midwife may change your prenatal visit schedule to once every two weeks. This change allows them to monitor your progress and does not necessarily mean complications are expected.
