How often did you have a check up from 36weeks to 40?

[butterfly_warrior]

I saw my OB at 36 weeks and my next appointment was booked for 38 weeks. They said I would normally have one at 37 weeks, but Christmas was in the way, so it didn't happen.

The 38 week appointment didn't happen either as I had my baby the next day. Complete surprise to both me and my OB!

I went 35, 37, 39, 40, 41. But I sort of got off-sync with my dates somehow. So it would otherwise have been 36, 38, 40, 41.

Thanks for your replies ladies. I just spoke to a friend (who has had 3 bubs through the same hospital I am at) who said ' thought it was strange you werent going in', then proceeded to say she thinks my bump is really small and with all the contractions I've been having dont be suprised if theres a problem tomorrow....hmm thanks for the vote of confidence...nothing I can do now except hope like all hell everything is fine.. off to bed and maybe see if I can get any earlier appt just so I'm not stressing all day.

Umm... I haven't been to a dr since about 3 weeks before Christmas....

Thanks Limeslice - I was thinking surely at this point if something was wrong, I would notice - wouldnt I? Thats what I thought the whole low-risk thing was about. I actually think the last few weeks has been great without seeing any Dr's to stress me about going for my VBAC. Its really given me and DP time to focus on a natural birth, not a birth after a c/s. Still having some really strong contractions, been a few days now, so fingers crossed I might not even need the appt tomorrow lol can only hope

Ooooh, we could have bubs on the same day! Today works for me, how bout you? lol
