How often do you have measurements/weights taken?

The first time I had them done (about 26-27 weeks), I was told that there wouldn't be much change for a month, so I had my second set done at 30-31 weeks.  Is it still true that they wouldn't measure for another month NOW?  Because everyone knows now's the time they really kick up the growth spurt, right?

I'm starting weekly NSTs next week, and I see either my doctor or midwife every 2 weeks.

I've been getting growth scans every 4 weeks since the beginning w/ my perinatologist.  My last one was at 32 weeks and my next one will be at 34 weeks - not sure if they'll continue after that.

Things are speeding up for me due to lots of BH and a rapidly shortening cervix...so I am now doing twice weekly NSTs, along w/ a weekly amniotic fluid check (if it's a week I'm not seeing my peri) and a weekly check-in w/ the OB.

I have had growth scans every three weeks (since 20 weeks, I think), but starting today they are weekly, as well as NSTs.  My OB appts were once/month until 20 weeks, then 2x/month until last week and now they are weekly.  Whenever I get my growth scans, there is a HUGE difference with positioning, weight, length, etc. 

It probably just depends on your DR.  If everything is fine, there may not be a need to go so often.  GL!

Mine have been every 4 weeks since 14 weeks and will continue to be until 34 weeks. No growth scans after 34 weeks and NSTs won't start until 33-34 weeks unless there is a reason to do it (shortening cervix, etc.).

I am 29 weeks, and this week they started NST weekly and growth scans weekly. I have been seeing my OB weekly since 20 weeks.

I was getting them done every 2 weeks because Baby B has a marginal cord insertion.  Every 4 weeks is standard for my Peri, though.

I've been told every 4 weeks, so they could see enough of a measurable difference between scans. I've had them at 20w6d, 24w6d, and will have my next one at 28w6d.

I get them at every MFM and OB appt. Its now getting almost weekly when i get my cervix checks.
