When will your weekly appts begin?

At my 20 week appointment my OB said I only have two more four-week appointments left and then I will go to weekly, starting after 28 weeks. With my first pregnancy, weekly appointments did not start until 36 weeks. I am not high risk. Is anyone else having to do the same? If not, when do you weekly appts start?

    I think 26weeks (di/di twins) and high risk for multiple reasons. I'll find out for sure today I think.

  • I feel like my ob said every other week starting at 28 and then every week starting at 36.... Maybe.... Now I can't remember.

  • I must have heard weekly when she meant bi-weekly. Phew!
  • I think she probably just got confused with bi-weekly.  I go to bi-weekly at 28 weeks and weekly at 36 weeks.  It was the same for K's pregnancy.  The only reason for more often would be if you were high risk which it doesn't sound like you are.

  • Technically they start at 24 weeks for me but most of them will be nurse visits for blood pressure and urine, and only because I had severe pre-eclampsia with my first.

    So 28w, 30w, 32w, 34w, 36w, 37w, 38w, 39w, 40w.
    Basically this.

  • I wish this was a question in my head. I've been weekly since 10weeks. (Incompetant cervix/pregestorome shots) Its bitter sweet. Down side is being poked every Tuesday of every week until I'm 35 weeks, upside is I get to see my little princess and have pic to show her later of her weekly progress.
  • I have one more 4 week appt in January then I'll start going every two weeks. Had an appt today and made sure I asked because of this post!
  • I have been going every two weeks since week 20 but that's because I'm carrying twins.
  • Theoretically I'm still every four weeks, but I'll go at 25w and then again at 27w to clear me for international travel and give me the GD test. 

    After that I think it'll be every two weeks until I hit 36w.

  • Not sure of the norm but I am HR and will have a RSC between 36 and 37 weeks I go bi-weekly now and will start weekly around 30-32 weeks as long as things remain going good.
  • I will go weekly starting at 32 wks!
