Pregnancy Check ups?

Question

I'm just curious....I am in my eighth month of pregnancy and it feels like my doctor rarely gives me a full check up. Most of the time my appointments take about five minutes- which I love. But I am wondering if there is something more she should be checking than just the baby's heartbeat & measuring my stomach? Is this normal?

Answer 1

if you're healthy and your pregnancy has been going well, that's it. the doc just needs to regularly check on the heartbeat and growth of your uterus. if you have ANY questions though, be sure to ask them.

Answer 2

Every appiontment I had the doctor checked my blood pressure, how big my stomach was and checked the babys heartbeat, Good Luck

Answer 3

Mine were always fast too.  They should also be checking your blood pressure & asking if you have any questions though.
