Should I be seeing my doctor more often?

I am now past my due date. I have heard throughout my pregnancy that when a woman goes overdue she will be seen more frequently (twice weekly instead of weekly) in order to be monitored more closely (having non-stress tests done) because of the higher risk of complications ociated with being over due. My doctor told me to come back in a week and at the time I didn't question it but now I am. I'm mainly worried because I've had concerns about the baby's movements over the last 2 weeks as it is and now I'm even more worried because I know going over due can cause more problems. Is it normal to still only been seen weekly or should I be seeing my doctor sooner?
