Q: Doc Appointments
asked by: wr17 on October 17th, 2006

I was just wondering when the doc appointments start changing from every 4 wks to every 2 wks.

Im 27 wks today and I go to the doc next wk for my 4 wk check up. I figured since this wk is the last wk in the 2nd trimester, my appointments would change.

When did everyones appointments go from 4 to 2 wks?

After 28 weeks they start going every 2 weeks. (i'm not sure if this is a rule or just according to who your dr is). I don't know if they'll wait another 4 weeks after your appointment tomorrow and then start making them every 2 weeks, or if they'll make it for in two weeks since you'll be 28 weeks in less than 4 weeks. What they did for me was, at my last appointment I was 26 weeks, but they scheduled my next one for in 2 weeks because it would fall on my 28th week of pregnancy. I'm also going to the dr tomorrow!

well 28 weeks and 4 days. At my 16 week ultrasound he said he was 70 percent sure she's a girl, though who knows for sure. I can only think of her as a girl. What are you having?
