weekly dr's visits

[raven_0810]

What happens at the weekly doctors visits? I'm a first time mom. Do they do the same as the appointment that's every 2weeks?

With both my previous pregnancies they checked my dilation at every weekly appointment different docs have different policies I reckon

They don't check dialation every visot because it poses infection . They will do it if you ask or there's a reason or during the strep b test they don't like to check a lot

Blood pressure check , temperature check , pulse check , urine test , measure fundal height , listen to babys heartbeat . Its the same as two week apts except around 36-37 weeks they will do a strep b test which is just a cotton swab of the vaginal opening and anus opening really quick . And they'll check for dialation during that exam .

They check ur vitals and see if u dilated any. Nothing special really
