    I think how often you are seeing your doctors is fine. I only had about 7 appointments in total for my entire pregnancy. I didnt have my first one until I was 20 weeks. If everything is good and fine, and you feel good you dont really need to go too often, but usually you do start to go more often towards the end of your pregnancy. It really depends on your doctor and your condition though - obviously if you were having problems then you would be going more often.

    Thanks for the replies

    I had an appointment yesterday with the doctor, was a bit scary at first, she couldn't find the heart beat for a long time, but she went and got an ultrasound and everything was fine, phew!. Also, baby is head down, yay.
    I feel much better now, and I'm going to have appointments at 36 weeks, 38 and 39 I feel better being going along to the appointments, as we live a 2 hour drive from the hospital, I like to make sure everythings ok.

    thanks again
