I'm almost right there with you. I do okay the doppler, but have only had my mw listen three times for a few minutes at a time so far... and I'm 29 weeks. We may move to the fetoscope for later appointments. I didn't even have my first mw appointment until 20 weeks. I do pee on a stick when I see her, but that's about it. No u/s. I don't even step on a scale. That has been really freeing this time around.
I have considered getting my iron checked, but my mw says if I'm worried I should just get the floradix and start taking it.... but I seem to be really bad about getting to the health food store for supplements of any kind lately.
I have fast births, so with my last two homebirths, never had a vaginal exam. My mw arrived just after ds2's head was out to catch him, and made it in time for one heartbeat check with ds3 before he was born. So, I've had about as low intervention births as you can get.
I'm rh-, so I will choose to get rhogam after birth (I do not take it during pg) IF I have a rh+ baby. My last two were both -, however, so it wasn't an issue.
It does seem like when I was on Mothering even just a couple years ago when pregnant with my second that there were a lot less testing done. I was a little surprised this time around at how many are doing blood testing and routine and often mutliple u/s. I'm not disparaging those choices at all... just surprised at the seeming escalation of use in the natural parenting community just in the past few years.
