MFM appointment timing question

I am almost 13 weeks pregnant with di/di twins. We had our first MFM appointment last week which merged our NT scan with a consult which went very well. However, he informed me thst he didn't need to see me again until our A/S in 6-8 weeks which really surprised me. I assumed that I would be more closely monitored even this early along but wanted to see from others if this was the norm with di/di or if I should get a second opinion. Thanks!

    That was about the same time window for me at that stage (di/di, also). I was also still going for regular appointments at my OB in the meanwhile.

    I didn't see my MFM until my anatomy scan at 18 weeks. I think that is fine. Now I see him along with my OB about every 3-4 weeks. Mine are di/di.

    I had complications at 16w and saw one then, but I would have waited until 20w had I not been bleeding. I went every three weeks from 20w-32w when I started going 1-2x/ week for NSTs. I saw my OB on the regular schedule.

    I saw a MFM at 12 weeks for NT scan- then 14 w and 17 weeks for cervical length checks (I had no previous issues with my cervix) and then again at 20 weeks for anatomy scan and cervical length- then 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 weeks for cervical length checks (again I had no issues with cervix).  I had a growth scan at 30 and 32 weeks- and I delivered at 34 w 3 d before my next growth scan.  I developed high BP at 31 weeks and pre-e at 34 weeks.  I saw my OB for NSTs before my weekly appoints starting at 28 weeks.

    I'll be 17 weeks on Thursday and am not seeing a MFM at all. My OB will refer me if there is any concern. Maybe I'm in the minority! :)

    I am 22 weeks with Di/Di twins and I actually only see the MFM once a trimester.  I do have some concerns with that tho but nothing to do with the fact they are twins (I have type 1 diabetes) I also go to my regualr OB on the normal schedule.
