How often were you scanned with twins?

[mamabear2b]

Hi all,
I'm currently 29 wks and was just wondering how often you were scanned with your twins after 20wks as I'm having to go in every 2 weeks at the moment and hospital have said they will want me in each week after 30 weeks.

Although they have said my twins are on the small side (Twin A is 996g AND Twin B is 1158g) they have also said there is nothing nothing to worry about so I'm wondering why do I have to go in every week?

Was or is this what is happening with you because to be honest it's causing me a bit of stress

This definitely varies between regions. I was scanned monthly till about 30 weeks when they would have moved to fortnightly and then weekly. Around that point I developed pre-eclampsia and it became more frequent than that, but I had the plan set out from my first consultant meeting.

From my experience of problems developing with the pre-eclampsia - if there is something wrong they tell you. Nothing to worry about probably means just that.

Similar to rattling here, but 7 yrs ago. Changed to weekly when twin 1's growth slowed at 34 else, but then they were born at 35! Good luck, at least they're keeping an eye on you

I am also 29 weeks, was scanned at 21, then 28, next is at 34, 36, 38 & 40.

Think it's different with identicals though, mine are DCDA, so don't think they worry so much about them.

Thanks for the replies,
I know I shouldn't moan about the hosital wanting to keep an eye on me I'm lucky to have such good care it's just that a fortnightly and soon to be weekly treck to the hospital (via 2 buses with a 3 yr old) feels a bit like overkill if everything is ok.

I don't want to be ungrateful but just a bit fed up with the obsesssion about the babies weight especially as they are currently gaining 100-150g a week each.

Mamamojito think mine are the same as yours with 2 sacs and 2 placentas, is that what DCDA means? Good luck with yours anyway

Hello, yes 2 sacs and 2 placentas here too...I actually made a mistake in my first post, my next scan will be at 32 weeks and then I think they're fortnightly after that.

They haven't made any mention of the babies sizes to me other than they are bang on average which makes a change as with my son they kept telling me he was small for dates.

Hopefully if they catch up bit they will ease up a bit but to be honest I'd be happy if they wanted to see me that much although I don't have the travel hassles you do.

Good luck with yours too!
