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

I'm feeling possibly the stupiest I have in my whole life right now. Had a catch up with my mums group for the first time since before christmas and they asked how I was going at the hospital (having had past problems). I mentioned that the last appt I had was at 36 weeks and the Dr said to come back around my due date. So thats what I'm doing. I even rang the admin to make the appt and they confirmed what the Dr had said. The other mums said that was horribly wrong and I should have had more regular check ups, once or twice a week.

Guess I'm just needing someone to put my mind at ease, to tell me they also only went on their due date.

TIA

From 36 weeks, I had weekly check ups.

I was also weekly. It was lucky for me they were as it meant my skyrocketing BP was picked up at 37 weeks.

I'm on weekly visits and have been since 36 weeks.

ok now I feel like a total twat of all times to start listening to them. It seemed to make sense to me, as in now I was full term I was low risk so didnt need the constant monitering. If I've put my little girl in any danger I'll never forgive myself. Tomorrow 2pm cant come quick enough.

Honestly I wouldn't be too worried and I doubt you have put your baby in any danger... I had my 36 wk apt and wont be seeing the doc again until the day of my csection... I am going through the public system here and they suggest you see your normal doc but we had only just moved here when I fell pregnant so I don't have a normal doctor and thus I wont have a check up b/w 36 - 40wks. The doc & midwife at the hsp said that's fine and if I have any concerns about baby, movements, if I feel sick etc to just call birth suite and I can go in and have a check up!
There are many, many women who also live in rural area's who cant get in weekly to see a doc...
So please don't stress or feel bad, if your low risk and the doctor was happy to not see you until almost your due date then it should be all good

Weekly with Ds, but that's because I never got that far with the girls! If you are healthy and happy don't worry.

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....
