can i miss last few checkup?

Hi im 37 weeks pregnant. Just had another check up at kkh subsidized and the doctor now ask me to come in weekly previously was every 2 weeks. I feel its really a waste of money to come for checkup since its any time now. Can i miss the appointment and just wait till im about to give birth. Im also financially not so stable...

Hi there. Understand where you are coming from but please know that it is important to monitor you and your baby’s well being now. Congrats! You will soon be able to hold your baby any time now :) hang in there and just go for your weekly check up. I feel that the last few weeks of pregnancy are so crucial as gynae will check the water level, baby’s position, heartbeat etc and also yourself too! The little things which they check for you during routine check up before you get to see your gynae during each appointment such as your urine, bp are so important. Please don’t take it lightly esp in this last few weeks of your pregnancy. All the best to you mama-to-be!
