I will be 32 weeks tomorrow. My doctor's is now wanting to see me weekly. But my last doctor with my first pregnancy didn't start seeing me weekly until I was 36 weeks. My next appointment is Monday. Any possible reasons why or is it something every doc does differently?

If there's anything you should be concerned about your doc would defintiely tell you. I'm 30 weeks and start bi-weekly visits now. When i was prego woth my now 4 year old, i went straight from monthly visits to weekly visits. I also use the same doc now as i did with my first. I think the doc just goes off of measurements, weight gain, things like that. I wouldn't worry about it, worrying leads to stress and stressing is a no no

I'm 31 weeks and have to go weekly now. My doctor is concerned because my baby is measuring sort of small (35th percentile) and because I have hypertension and I'm very swollen. I also have been having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions that I didn't even know I was having until he checked! He wants to monitor them and my baby's tolerance to them.

I just had my 32 week appointment today and mine said I'll start coming weekly too. Other than some of my gestational diabetes coming back a little high but still passing and he said I measured big today but baby was probably stretched out, I've been pretty normal. I think it's just doctor preference. Or maybe he knows something he's not telling me. Idk

Nothing to be worried about. Unless they mention something, I wouldn't give it anymore thought..
