How often do you go to your OB?

How often did you go to your OB after your BFP.

I saw mine this week and I have to do bloodwork on the 25th, then I have an appt for the Feb 5th, then I heard he will want to see me weekly for the first few weeks....its normal for him since he's a high risk doctor but I am curious what others go throug???

Re: How often do you go to your OB?

My doctor's office doesn't see you until you have reached your 8th week. Unless you have had a previous problem. I did however ask for bloodwork prior to this to make sure everything was ok. But, I am just about 8 weeks and haven't seen the doc yet.

I can't wait!

Re: How often do you go to your OB?

I initially saw the dr after my BFP for blood test and confirmation of pregnancy.

My first appt was at 8 wks. Then every 4 wks.

Starting at 24 wks I will see her every 3 wks.

Then it's every 2 wks and at the end it's every wk.

Unless you have a medical reason, they don't see you every week at the beginning.Chat Icon

I am high risk. With my first I had a few office visits ( I just calculated-think at least 20+ which include my hospitalizations unfortuantely) so I knew it would be the same this time-A PIA but exciting since I got to see our daughter so often. Hopefully this one sticks and I get spoiled the same wayChat Icon

Then it will be different if you are high risk.

Those are the average number of visits for non complicaton pregnancy.

That does not include other tests, etc..

i go to a high risk and a reg and was there constantly in the beginning. After they watch for whatever they watch for it usually eases up.
WHen I went to every 3 or 4 weeks I still had my reg doc so i am still there 24.7.
Now I am going every 2 weeks again.

I go every four weeks, but starting next month (around 32 weeks) I will start going every two weeks, and then every week after that.
