Went to the doctor today

Kristi
I went to the doctor and now they want to see me every two weeks because of my blood pressure because they don't want it to go up because I'm high-risk so my blood pressure wasnt high today and I'm 28 weeks. Is this normal to see the doctor every two weeks I'm such a worrier

My doctor starts seeing patients every two weeks once they're 28 weeks anyways. And then I'll go once a week at 36 until I deliver.

I've been seeing a doctor every two weeks (and sometimes weekly) since week 16. I wouldn't worry about it much.

Yeah. In your third trimester they start having you checked every two weeks. Your last month they usually will check you weekly :) my two week appointments start today!

Yes. Third trimester is usually every 2 weeks until the last month when it's every week.

I started seeing mine every 2 weeks around 28 weeks too, not for high risk or anything.The later you get into it the more they will want to check up on you, soon it'll be once every week!

30 weeks and I'm being seen weekly for blood pressure. They sent me to er yesterday, but my labs were all normal so I was sent home. They decided against putting me on meds as it seems my BP only elevates at my doctor's office.

I haven't had any complications or issues and I'm seeing my provider every two weeks. It's standard where I'm going to be seen every two weeks after 28 weeks and then every week at 36 weeks.

I started standard visits every two weeks beginning at 30 weeks. No big deal. Every two weeks is just to monitor. If it were more frequent, that may show more concern.
