  I'm pretty sure they are standard with any kind of possible complication.  I had to have a few with Gavin b/c of gestational diabetes and reduced fetal movement.  I only had to have one with Sophie and again it was reduced fetal movement (I make lazy babies).

  I had to have them twice a WEEK when I was preggo with Abby.  For me, it was because of the GD.  I think Drs are just really overcautious sometimes.  It checks for any contractions and fetal heartbeat/movement etc.  It's pretty obnoxious to have to go in so often, but I always left feeling really good.  They were able to pick up on contractions I didn't know I was having, and make sure her heartrate was strong even through them.

  It is common with placenta previa. A good friend had them for that exact reason. It is a pain to go so often (i had them quite often with both pregnancies, but for different reasons) but I did like the constant reassurance that all was well!:)
