2nd trimester weekly appts with twins

nucrew_

First pregnancy and I’m having twins! Super excited to be out of the first trimester. I had a 13 week check today and the dr now wants to see me every week from 16 weeks on for a cervical length check and to make sure they’re growing at the same rate. Is this normal? Anyone else have appts this often this early with no known issues? As much as I want to see my babies as much as possible I didn’t think I would be at the dr this often already.

Hi @nucrew_! Currently 23 weeks with twins and still doing appts every four weeks, although I suspect that’s about to move to every two weeks. I’ve already had 3 vaginal births so that may be why I’m not being monitored as closely, but I’d ask if something showed up on previous scans that created cause for concern.

I'm 41y-old, 11 weeks, IVF pregnancy with twins, all that means I'm seeig a group of High-Risk Pregnancy specialists/team.
Even with all that, the plan is to follow up every 4 weeks until 20 weeks, then start on evry 2 weeks.
That's the plan if everything continues to go well. they might change it if needed. but for now
every 4 weeks,
starting week 20: every 2 weeks
Starting week 30: every week
