When did any of you start going to your OB every two weeks instead of once a month???   My OB just started that with me... and it just seems early.  I dont remember going to OB so often so soon with my son.

Thanks

 My doctor had me start every two weeks starting at 28 weeks. I can't remember when I started the 2-week scheduling with my first two kids.

Since my first appointment at 8 weeks pregnant, I have gone every two weeks! So in a way it's nice to be able to get an ultrasound every two weeks and see your baby growing. Now Im going on 26 weeks and still see her!

I think it was 28 weeks for me seeing him every two weeks and at 32 he started me every week for an NST.  (What a pain - but a fun one to get to hear the baby!) 

I think that is done for "high risk" pregnancies - of which I was considered one due to my WLS.

I started bi-weekly OB appts at 24 weeks and then I switch to weekly at 32 weeks. I didn't understand why but they just told me today that due to my surgery they just want to make sure baby stays healthy and grows as it should.

Normally it begins at the start of the 3rd trimester.  :-)  No worries!

I"m 29 weeks and just started with the 2 week appts.   Seemed early for me too but I think we just aren't realizing how close we are! :)
