How often are your appointments?

LynaT · April 2013

Since about 13 weeks when I moved to a different state I've only seen my doctor 3 times, every 6 weeks. I'm going to be 26 weeks on Sunday and saw her today but my next appointment isn't until I'm 32 weeks. I was just curious how frequently or infrequently other people saw their doctor. Everything is normal and boring, since the beginning I keep forgetting I'm pregnant because it's been such a breeze. Feel free to hate me now. I've just always read women saw their doctors every month and with my last I had a midwife I saw every month. It just seems weird to me to go 6 weeks, I don't know when she's going to schedule them closer together or if it's going to be another 6 weeks after this next appointment and then see you when the baby is coming. I'm not worried or concerned about anything, like I said it's been so easy I forget, it's just so impersonal to have a literally 5 minute appointment every 6 weeks.

I am going every 4 weeks. My first appointment was long but my other ones have only been 5 to 10 minutes. I am not sure at what point I will start going more frequently.

jeapplegate · April 2013

I think the standard schedule is every 4 weeks until 28, then every 2 weeks until 36, then weekly after that. I've heard of some variation like every 6 weeks, then every 3 weeks until 36 but that is the fewest appointments I've ever heard of.&n

Every 4 weeks until 26 weeks, then every 2 or 3 depending on what the Dr. finds more appropriate at the time until 32 weeks, then every week.

MrsBlindLove · April 2013

My midwife meets with me every 4 weeks for a half an hour to an hour. Actually she didn't have a free spot at our usual time and so I wanted to go another week but she wasn't comfortable going 5 weeks without seeing me.

JocelynB0911 · April 2013

If you are having a healthy pregnancy that seems about right and could pick up to weekly in your last 4-6 weeks.

I am having a high risk pregnancy and now need to go weekly until I give birth and will have weekly u/s to watch the babies for heart

carrotcake06 · April 2013

For my singleton, once a month until 36 weeks, then weekly. I had DS at 37w, so I never made it to the weekly appt portion of my pregnancy.

This time is diff bc of the twins, but even so is every 4 weeks w the OB until 28 or 32 weeks I think

Soleil3 · April 2013

4-6 weeks sounds about right. Go in of course if something is wrong, but on a normal pregnancy, not much is needed. I think around 36 weeks they go week to week.

Cristine · April 2013

I'm AMA and I have low PAPP-A so I see my normal OB every 4 weeks and the high risk specialist every 6 weeks.

katiebenes · April 2013

before we found out it was twins, I was set to have an appointment every six weeks until 20 weeks, then up it to four weeks...

LSzwaya · April 2013

Because of my loss history I was going every 2 weeks until about 12 weeks and now I go every 3 weeks and have an ultrasound every 4 weeks until 28-30 weeks when I will do both every 2 weeks. With DS, I went every 4 weeks until about 30 weeks. Then I switc

PrimRoseMama · April 2013

Every four weeks for about 10 to 15 minutes. I believe around 35 weeks they start seeing me every two weeks.

MommyAmes2 · April 2013

I go once every 4 weeks. I believe at 30 weeks I go every 2 weeks. Then at 36 weeks every 2 weeks. Something like that...

KdgTeacher · April 2013

We did IF treatments, so it looks a bit different.

Appt (with u/s at RE) at 6, 7, 8 wks.

1st appt with OB at a little over 10 weeks, 14 wks, 19 wks, 24 wks, 28 wks.

Now, due to some issues I'll go to the office 2x/wk for the next 3 we

CutieBean79 · April 2013

Every 4 weeks, but I'll get a stretch of 6 weeks between the a/s and the 26 week appt when they will do the GD test. I think at 32 weeks it goes to every 2 weeks.

bluegirl0429 · April 2013

I see mine every four weeks with the exception of NT, A/S, and call-ins for "complications." I am not sure when they are going to start taking me every two weeks. I moved 2.5 months ago and this is a new area/OB office for me. I am currently 21 weeks,

rissa06 · April 2013

Every four weeks until 28 weeks 3 weeks then two weeks and then every week at 36 weeks until the end.

marinlove0528 · April 2013

It's been every 6 weeks for me. Military dependent here.

coraggiosa · April 2013

kje120 · April 2013

Approximately every 4 weeks until I hit 30 weeks then they'll be every 2 weeks.

princesspreggo · April 2013

my appointments are every 4 weeks and the appointment is usually about 10-15 minutes!

MrsClaus8 · April 2013

I'm 18 weeks and have had 3 appointments. I've even been hospitalized for bronchitis/pleuracy and dehydration and still only seen my actual OB for a few minutes at the 3 office visits.

MJHershey · April 2013

5-10 minutes every 4 weeks.

Sometimes after waiting a long time at the office.

sleeping5beauty · April 2013

Mine are every 4 weeks (have been the same with my previous 2 pregnancies too). My appointments are about 15 minutes, but that's one of the reasons I choose this doctor. She spends quality time with each patient. If no complications this time around I wil
