Amount of prenatal visits for 35+ moms?

Question

I am wondering if ob gyns make you come more often for prenatal check ups when you are 35+? This question applies only to moms in America. If so, how often do you have to go in for prenatal check ups?

Answer

It depends on your dr. They may have you see a high risk dr in addition to your regular obgyn because of your age. 35+ is considered “advanced maternal age” it just means that it increases your risk factors for certain complications. Current appointment recommendations are monthly until 30 weeks, every 2 weeks from 30-36 and then weekly until baby arrives.

Answer

If there are no additional underlying risks, typically you go monthly, up until the 36 week mark, then weekly. There will also be additional appointments like a sonogram or two and the glucose test.
