When do you start going to the doc every 2 weeks?

JLMB2008 · December 2011

We had our 21 week check up this morning. Since I was 6 weeks we have had an appointment every 3 weeks. Not high risk or anything that's just how often she does them. So today she said see you in 3 weeks (24 week apt) and then you'll start your every 2 weeks.

That seemed early to me. So when will you start going every 2 weeks?

That does seem early.

Not until 30 weeks for me... I have 2 more appointments at 4 week intervals (24 weeks & 28) and then I'll start the 2 week party from weeks 30-36 then every one week from 36--delivery.

My next appt is in 4 weeks I'll be 25 weeks then I go 3 weeks at 28 weeks then start every 2...I think normal is anywhere between 24-30 every place is different

Wow, she sees her clients frequently! My MW sees you every 4 weeks until 28 weeks, then every 2 until 36 weeks, then every 1 until 41 weeks, and then every few days until you go into labor or hit 42 and law requires her to transfer you to an OB.

This is what my practice does as well.

This.

(Hope your co-pays are low...otherwise I'd probably go once a month until 30 weeks)

I have my 20w appt next week, and my next appt will be at 24w. She said they'll be every 2w after that, but I'm AMA. I don't know if that makes a difference.

I am every 2 weeks from now on bc of the issue they discovered at my a/s. I was going to be at 6 months anyway bc of health but they bumped it up.

Mine sees me every 4 weeks until 30 weeks then starts once every week. She has been my OB since forever and I didn't see her once every week with DD until about 35 weeks last time so I'm not sure why at 30 weeks but they did just move into a bigger facility so maybe they want to be more available or something?? Not sure? I also have PCOS so maybe that's why??

Mine are 4 weeks apart until 30 wks, then down to every 2 wks. And I'm over 35yrs, so your schedule sounds excessive to me unless you are high risk or have some issue that requires closer monitoring.
