How many doctors appointments?

Question

How many doctor's appointments do one need in general throughout pregnancy and what all got done in them? 
How many ultrasounds did u get in total? 
my doctor has not told when to see her next. So i am willing to know what needs to be done in case she forgot or ignored. I am 10w4d.

Answer

2 ultrasounds unless you have complications. Dating scan & anatomy scan. I had to have a 3rd in hospital due to preeclampsia. 
Appointment every 4 weeks until 20 weeks, every 2 weeks until 36, then every week after that. 
Usually a blood draw once a trimester unless more are needed.
Around 28ish weeks you'll do the glucose test. They usually start checking your cervix around 36 or 37 weeks

Answer

Every month until 28 weeks. Then every two weeks until 36 weeks then every week. Two ultrasounds. First is dating any where from 6-12 weeks (give or take) second is anatomy scan 18-22 weeks closer to 20 is best though. They may decide to do additional ultrasounds if something pops up. But your doctor isn't going to forget to schedule you for an appointment or something that is necessary.

Answer

I had my first appointment at 8w6d and had my first ultrasound then. I've had 3 ultrasounds in total. My doctor saw me every 4 weeks until I was 30 weeks. At 30w it was every 2. Now I'm 35 weeks and will see her every week.

Answer

You usually have an appointment every 4 weeks up until 30 weeks then you go every 2 weeks until 36 weeks and from 36 weeks till birth you go once a week. That's if there's no complications or anything. At least that's how it is in my town. And usually it's just check ups to make sure everything is going smoothly. They check vitals and ask you if you have any questions or concerns. You get an ultrasound at 8 weeks, 20 weeks, and 32 weeks. You do a glucose test at your 28 week appointment and they usually don't start checking your cervix until you start going weekly. Again, that's just the office I go to idk if others are different
