Pelvic exams at appts?

DuckDuckGoose123 · January 2011

Just curious - do you get pelvic exams at your checkups? My OB did one at my first appt, but just to feel my uterus, no pap or anything. Since then I haven't had any physical exams at my appointments, just checking blood pressure and weight, listening to the heartbeat, and sometimes drawing blood.

I got a pap at my 1st appt when I was only 7wks along...but like my last pg, I'm sure I won't actually get a pelvic exam until 36wks- until the baby comes to check if I'm dilated.

I had one my very first appointment and then another when I had some spotting about 4 weeks later. Nothing else since then.

I had one and a pap at my first appointment at 6 1/2 weeks. Since then, it's just Doppler, blood pressure, weight, and questions for the doc.

Nope. Haven't had one yet. I had had a pap in july, so they didn't do another one.

This, except my first appt with this doc was at 13 weeks.

Nope, usually no pelvic exams (only at the beginning and end of pregnancy). First appointment was pap and she checked my uterus. I had one a few weeks ago but I had spotting and she wanted to check my cervix and make sure it was closed.
