3rd Trimester

when did you start going to the ob every 2 weeks?

I went to my 31 week OB appt yesterday , and when I got my card telling me when my next appt is for ...its in 2 weeks!

I didnt think I would be every 2 weeks until later. Is this early? or when did you ladies start going more often? and when does the every week usually start?

thanks in advance!

Re: when did you start going to the ob every 2 weeks?

  • I haven't yet because I'm not far enough along, but my OB starts every 2 weeks around 32 weeks. So it sounds about right.

  • I think it depends on the MD. My MDs office started scheduling me 33, 35, 37 and then once a week (which sucks cause its a 40 minute drive each way). I had control and could have changed the appointments to 3 weeks, some MDs will work with you.

  • My OB told me at my 27 week appt to start coming in every two weeks.

  • I started at 18 weeks - high risk.  The norm at my OB is to go every 2 weeks starting at 26-28 weeks.
  • My last OB appt was at 33 wks for me, and that is when I started scheduling for every two weeks. I think it starts at 32 wks, but my appts were a little offset from the beginning.

  • My doctor said to start at 32 weeks coming every two weeks, then one week at 36 weeks. Kind of scary to think about since it's only around the corner now.
  • 28 weeks with DS, and it should be the same this time.

  • I will start going every two weeks once I hit 28 weeks, then at 36 weeks it is every week.
  • I was every 4 weeks til approx. 29 weeks.  Then I had 2 weeks til my next appointment (~31 weeks), then 3 weeks til my next (~34 weeks), and it will be 2 weeks til my next (~36 weeks).  Then it will be weekly thereafter.  I'm lucky that my hospital is walking distance from my job.... although it is taking me longer to walk now than it used to!

  • I only do one two week appt...from 36 to 38...then I start weekly.
  • At my appointment on week 27 they told me to come back in 2 weeks and I'll keep going every 2 weeks until 36 weeks then it switches to every week.

  • At my doc's office, they have women start coming in every 2 weeks starting at 28 weeks and then weekly starting at 36 weeks.

  • I can't remember when my Ob told me she usually starts seeing patients every 2 weeks, but at my last appt. I was about 26 weeks and due to my weight gain issues and some other things she wants to start seeing me every 2 weeks now. So I guess it all depends on your doctor and your pregnancy.

    Exactly like my doctor's office!

  • I started at 29 weeks. They would have started me at 28 weeks but my timing with appointments was off.
  • After my 28th week check.  Then at 36 weeks, it's weekly for me.

    My last OB appt was at 33 wks for me, and that is when I started scheduling for every two weeks. I think it starts at 32 wks, but my appts were a little offset from the beginning.

    This, and then weekly starting at 36 wks 

  • This has been bugging me too! I am 30 weeks and my last appointment, I was 27 weeks. I was somewhat surprised my next appointment was still in 4 week increments. Another girl I know personally who is due 3 days after me and goes to another OB went on her 28th week and started her biweekly appointments already. So I have yet to start going biweekly... I'm wondering if they will start after my appointment which is on next Tuesday?

  • I just had my 32 week appt and the doctor didnt tell me to come back until 36 weeks
