3rd Trimester

36 week check-up What happens?

So I know that my MW will measure me but what else should I expect?

    I think you'll have your Group B test then as well.

    I had the usual (pee in a cup, weight check, blood pressure, listen to baby's heartbeat, measure fundal height) plus the Strep B test and my first internal. Not my favorite visit.

  • I have mine coming up next week and I know they are going to do an ultrasound to make sure he's head down, some blood work, and the Strep-B test.  I don't have a MW though so I don't know if that will be different for you or not.

  • so what do they do during the internal?  I may not like this visit... Indifferent
  • I had mine today, all the usual stuff plus the Group B Strep test. I asked specifically for an internal, or else I wouldn't have gotten one.

    They check for dilation and effacement. It's really not that bad, just uncomfortable.

  • Well I will ask to see if she can do that I would like to know.... Thank so much!!!

  • I am scheduled for an ultrasound to check for position and growth.

     this exactly, although my OB also did a quick ultrasound to check if LO had moved into the head down position (which she did!). :)
