how often do you go to the doctor?

my doc said she wants me to come in every 2 weeks for check ups after my next appointment. I'm totally dreading having to go up there that often. How often do you go to the ob/gyn?

    between 32 and 36-- every two weeks, from 36 on it's weekly.  it's pretty standard i think.

    I started going every 2 weeks around 28 weeks.  Every week around 36 weeks.

    I started bi-weekly at 29 weeks and weekly at 31 due to PTL issues.

    I had my last monthly visit at 29w, and my first 2 week visit at 31w.  I think it goes weekly at 36 or 37.

    My regular checkups are every 2 weeks at this point.  I'm having some complications (GD and still have morning sickness) so I'm there more than that some weeks.

    I started going every other week at 28 weeks, every week starting at 36 weeks.  It varies a little from doctor to doctor, but that's pretty much what's recommended by the board of obstetrics and gynecology.

    I've been going weekly since 36 weeks.  And I will start going twice a week if I go past my EDD next week.

    Up until now, my appointments have been every four weeks. I now have one three week appointment, then they go to every two weeks until 37 weeks, and then weekly.

    I went yesterday and scheduled my next one for 4 weeks. After that visit I start every 2 weeks until 36 weeks which then I'll start weekly appointments.

    MEGS-

    I don't like having to leave dd with someone(even though its usually my mom). Plus just the drive and waiting in the waiting room it takes a couple hours out of my day. I'll do it, of course, just not looking forward to it.

    My last pregnancy, at the end I had to go 3x's a week due to lower amniotic fluid-it sucked! When the doctor told me I had to come in every 2 weeks, it just reminded me of all those visits.

    I started going every two weeks at about 28 weeks. After my next appointment, i will go every week. I will be 36 weeks at that point. I kinda like going that often cause it makes the time go faster and it means that she will be here soon.  (

    I go either 2 or 3 days a week.  2 days a week for my NST and U/S and then every other week for my OB.  After my next appt it will be 3 days a week!

    I was going every 2 weeks this entire pg.  Once I hit 26 weeks or so I started going every week. 

    It's an hour each way to my doctor -- quit complaining Smile

    I go twice a week.  Once to actually see the doctor and both appointments for NSTs.

    I guess I go less often then "normal." Every 4 weeks until 36 weeks and then I go at 38 weeks and again at 40 weeks.
