I'm 16 weeks and I'm scheduled every 6 weeks. Is this normal? When do they become more frequent?

Up until the third trimester I have been going every 4 weeks. After my next appointment (28 weeks) I will start going every two weeks.

I only made it to 34 weeks and I think I was just about to switch to every 2 weeks when I went into labor.

Mine were every 4 weeks until 36 weeks and then they were every other week. Although I do remember a long stretch right around where you are with my first. I had an appointment at 17 weeks and then not another one until 24 weeks (though I had the anatomy scan in between).

I went very frequently in the beginning due to spotting but once that resolved I was every 4-6 depending on my work schedule. I'm now doing every 3 and in a couple of weeks I'll move to every 2. I'm 27 weeks tomorrow.

I went monthly for the first 26-28 weeks, then every two weeks. Once I hit 35(?) weeks, I went weekly for biophysical profiles since I was being treated as GD.

We frequently stretched appointments to 5-6 weeks once we knew things were progressing nicely. I don't think its weird to schedule them that way because our office is very accommodating of emergencies and lets us come in immediately if we need to be seen before appointments.

With my OB it's been every 4 weeks, but then I also go to the another office for the NT, level 2, anatomy, etc so sometimes I've been going twice a month lately!

I was every 4 weeks until my last appt at 26 weeks, then we moved to every 3 weeks. at 32 weeks it becomes every 2 weeks, then at 35/36 it's every 1 week. I was surprised by the 3 week interval, but whatever.

Every 4 weeks until 26 weeks ( which I am today) and now I am every 2 weeks. I am with my gp until 34 weeks when I go back to my OB, which will be once a week.

In the US my first was at 10 weeks, and then once a month until about 7 months, then it was every 3 weeks, then every 2, then once per week for the last 3 weeks or so.
My second LO was born in Austria and I only had 5 appointments total with my obgyn (in addition to the 12 and 20 week scans). But that is standard here and what insurance pays for. If I had had a complication, I would have gone directly to the hospital.

Interesting, it seems like 4 weeks is the norm. My doctor is good about emailing and stuff so I'm sure if there was a problem I could go right in.

I remember near the beginning of my last pregnancy that there was a period of 8 weeks I didn't see an OB but that might be because I was in the middle of OBs at the time (my normal OB left and all the other OBs were filled up so I was kind in limbo for a little bit)
