From memory with DS, not much changed really, just that I went in more often. I was lucky enough to have had a very uneventful pregnancy and so all was just routine still. I didn't have any internals until I went to the hospital in labour at 39 weeks and that was no big deal compared to what I'd heard about having an internal done. Maybe it depends on what sort of care you've got going - I had 'shared care', saw my GP for most appts and an ob at the hospital twice for 'major' checks and with the midwives a couple of others. This time I'm in a slightly more rural area and the GP is also my Ob and will be present at the birth. Again everything has been very uneventful and so far no word of an internal and he's decided to see me every 3 or 4 weeks still rather than every 2... so maybe it's a case by case thing?
However it goes, good luck for the next few weeks! Hope it's all going smoothly
