Anyone go to appointments this much?

Question

I have 2 ultrasounds a week and 2 fetal monitoring sessions a week and 1 doctor appointment a week 
Does anyone else have to see a doctor this much? I'm 34 weeks 4 days 
It's a little overwhelming I just wanna sleep 24/7 lol

Answer

Lord! They must really want to watch you for some reason because I only go the regular amount of times.

Answer

Yes I go to my GR dr twice a week for follow up and monitoring, twice a week to my OB for NST and every 4 weeks for ultrasound growth scan

Answer

Are you diet controlled or on insulin? I didn’t have anything extra done and my numbers were all very low and controlled due to diet.

Answer

I go in twice a week but get an ultrasound and nst plus see doctor on the first appointment then on the second I just do an nst and see doctor. I'm on insulin 4 times a day (every meal plus long acting at night).

Answer

My gd is out of control no matter what I eat, so I got put on 4 insulin injections a day. I have the same Dr schedule as you. 2 non stress tests and 2 ultrasounds a week, plus my regular OB apt. The amount of visits depends on the severity of the GD I suppose. I was 33 weeks yesterday.

Answer

Is there a reason they have you seeing them so much? I have been seeing my regular OB every other week (started at 32 weeks) and will be going every week starting next week (36 weeks) which is standard for anyone without GD. Only extra thing they are doing is a non stress test when I am there and at my 37 week I will have a growth scan. As for my GD they had me come back 4 weeks after my diagnosis, put me on insulin at bedtime when that happened, then had me come back 2 weeks later, and when I saw them for that 2 week follow up this week they told me I don’t have to see them again and just to keep charting so they can monitor my levels. I would definitely ask your doctor the benefit behind all of your appointments. Unfortunately every doctor is different and everyone’s health is different so they may have their reasons. Good luck!
