Which pregnancy appts are skipped during COVID?

Question

Just found out I’m pregnant after 2.5 years TTC! 
My doctor’s office mentioned some non-critical checkups are omitted during covid to reduce exposure. She wasn’t sure which. 
Any mamas been through pregnancy this past year can share which appts are skipped? I’m in CA SF Bay Area in case it makes a difference.
Thanks!

Answer

I’ve been to all the usual apts in Florida but partner can’t.

Answer

I’m in Los Angeles, none of the appointments were skipped.  The only thing was my partner was not allowed at any of the appointments until recently.  Last week, they called and said he was able to come to an ultrasound appointment.  Good luck!!

Answer

My first appointment was virtual and then an in office visit at 10 weeks.  The rest are all as normal but I’m also high risk so that could be why

Answer

It depends on where you are. I'm 30 weeks and haven't had any skipped appointments, and none of them have been done virtually. My hubby has been allowed at every single visit since the first one, at 8 weeks pregnant.

Answer

None of mine were skipped but partner can’t attend anything but birth. I’m in RI

Answer

I’m in DC. I’m currently 9w 1d. When I originally called to schedule my first Appt, they told me that due to Covid, patients are not physically seeing an OB until they are 12 weeks. They said that the virtual intake will be performed by an intake nurse around 10 weeks and there would be no initial appointment to “confirm pregnancy.”  I actually requested the midwives too and they indicated that everyone only sees the high risk OB doc at 12 weeks then they go from there. However, since I’m considered high risk, I emailed my OB and he made an appointment for me to come in at 7 weeks for an ultrasound and my 1st OB visit. He told me that due to COVID, the new policy is to skip those initial confirmation appointments but he wanted to see me beforehand to make sure things are ok. 🤷🏾‍♀️
With my 2 year old, (I delivered the same place) they scheduled me an initial appointment at 4 weeks 1 day to confirm pregnancy, then had me come back at 8 weeks for an ultrasound to confirm viability/baby placement. Then I came in at 12 weeks for the anatomy scan.
