doctors visits

I am 33 weeks and 5 days and i havent had an ultra sound since 20 weeks. All my doctor does is measure my stomach and listen to the heartbeat. Is that normal? I have an appointment on tuesday and id really like to know if thats what all doctors do.

My doctor only did one ay 18 weeks. . As long as everything keeps going smoothly I won't get another one. . I did get a 3d/ 4d at 30 weeks but that was out of pocket and wasn't at my dr office. ..

Don't feel bad it's actually not a bad thing. It's not healthy to get a lot of ultrasounds especially if you don't have complications. My doctor doesn't do ultrasounds in his office he sends me to a specialist. I had my first ultrasound at 8wks on a little monitor in his office & 12wk growth scan, a gender scan at 20 wks & my last one was at 27 wks for irregular heartbeat. I know your probably anxious about seeing the little one but as long as the baby is healthy there really is no need for extra ultrasounds.
