how often do you go for a dr's visit in the first trimester?

my last appt was Sep. 21 and next one is first week of Nov for an NT test/OB visit , That's almost 7 weeks of not seeing the dr.
I called yesterday to make sure /ask if I should go in before that but didn't hear from them yet.
I feel like that's such a long wait between visits, I remember I had to go 1 a month (every 4 weeks ) with my first .
I will call them again if I don't hear from them , but wondering how often you go in for a check up in your first trimester.

pretty sure it's 1x month. Maybe they messed up their schedule. I would ask again.

Re: how often do you go for a dr's visit in the first trimester?

I was scheduled every four weeks. Between my first and second appt I waited 5 weeks because of MY difficult schedule.

So yeah, 7 weeks sounds like a long time.

Went every 4 weeks. 7 weeks sounds a little to long till your next appt.

I think once a month is standard if you have are having normal pregnancy. I had some close together in the beginning but at the 12 week appt they said I have to come in once a month until the third trimester when it starts getting close together again.

In my OB's office it's once every 3 weeks.

Re: how often do you go for a dr's visit in the first trimester?

I'm scheduled every 4 weeks.

once a month. Some months I would go 2x but that was because the regualr appts were not scheduled with the required tests.

So I just called them again , the receptionist spoke to the dr and she does want to see me next week, I'll just go for an NT test in Nov and I guess another appt later on that month.

Re: how often do you go for a dr's visit in the first trimester?

First appt @ 10 weeks next appt is one month after that (just weight/bp check/doppler etc). So I guess 1 appointment in the first trimester unless you are having issues (then I'm sure they see you earlier)
