Time Btwn OB Appts.?

patchen30 · April 2011

My 1st OB appt. was at 8w3d. My second appt. is scheduled for my NT scan at 11w3d. Does that seem like a long time btwn appts., or am I just not used to it b/c of getting spoiled by the RE? It seems like a lot of you ladies see your OBs closer to 10 weeks and then come back for the NT scan.

I seen my RE little after 7 wks & then seen the OB closer to 10 wks but OB did scan & not a pro at it so we returned twice around 13 wks due to size and measurements needed & won't have another u/s until 19 wks

From 12 weeks until 28 weeks (that is as far as I know), it has been every 4 weeks. At some point, I will start every 2 weeks, but it is some time after I hit 28 weeks (or it could be after 32 weeks).

And they are boring appointments. Pee in a cup, listen to the heartbeat, check my weight and blood pressure. Done.

I did finally have my belly measured this time.

Because we are expecting twins, we were every other week from 10 weeks to 32 weeks. Once I hit 32 weeks, we now go every week.

A close friend, who just recently had her baby, saw her OB once a month or so and she was pregnant with a singleton. She started seeing her OB every other week and then once a week towards the end of her pregnancy.

I have some friends that go like every 4-6. We go every other because we have twins but I alternate between OB and high risk OB. I think that sounds like normal timing!

OB appointments should be every 4 weeks with the exception of additional testing like your NT.

I always said, "They throw you right in with the masses." It's a change, but you'll get used to it. As PP said, most appointments are boring... pee in a cup, blood pressure, weight, heartbeat and out you go!

Nope, I think that is good! I go to my OB every 4 weeks...I think we just get spoiled with the RE

I was seeing my OB every 4 weeks and just started seeing him every 3 weeks. Eventually, at some point soon it will be every 2 weeks and then every week.

They are boring appointments like njohnson said

I had my first OB at 6wks (I wasn't with an RE for me yet, DH saw one for testing). Then I had a 10 wk and then the NT scan. I believe if I hadn't of had issues they would have seen me for 8wks then the NT scan but I'm not sure. But I don't think it is a huge gap, so I wouldn't worry. After the NT scan there were like 2 weeks before the results appt. Now I don't go again until 20 weeks!

yep, sounds right! we are just spoiled by RE! after my NT this week i wont be back in till 16 weeks! ugh, tough wait =/

That sounds right. I go every 2 weeks because I'm considered a high risk pregnancy. The good news is I get to see my little girls (feels so weird saying that!) every visit!

I had my first OB appt. at 10 weeks, then another at 14, then another at 18. I go back at 22 weeks, so once a month. It's hard once you're used to going to the RE so often.

Typically my ob appointments are every four weeks. With this pregnancy I am also seeing a recurrent loss specialist and so I actually saw her every week through 14 weeks but now I only go back once a month.

I saw my OB at 10 weeks while I was still seeing my RE. I didn't graduate from RE until I was 12 weeks. And then I have the NT Scan at 13 weeks and I'm going to see OB again next week at 14 weeks. So far I've been going for u/s every Monday since I was 5 weeks.

bluebabka · April 2011

I went today and they told me my schedule is every 4 weeks up until 32 weeks.

lhutch2 · April 2011

I have been going every 4 weeks and will start going every two weeks after I hit 20 weeks since I've have 2 cervical surgeries and they want to monitor my cervix closely. Everey 4 weeks until 28 weeks is normal though.
