3rd Trimester

'Minimalist' prenatal visits - Anyone else?

It seems like everyone has had growth ultrasounds and lots of tests done throughout and at the end of pregnancy. Which I totally get if you're high risk.

Just like with my first, I only had one fetal ultrasound during this pregnancy - Only the anatomy scan. I've had my cervix checked past 3 visits but before that, I didn't have a single pelvic exam through the entire pregnancy. I basically have weight & BP measured, pee in a cup, ask my doc (now midwife) and questions I have, she listens to the heartbeat and I go home. 

On one hand, I feel like a later ultrasound would have been nice and comforting to see no problems... But I am also happy because I'm not worried about Baby's size (in either direction) or anything else that could just be nothing.

Anyone else just kind of going along with the bare minimum? :)
