Just found out its twins and im super excited but also bit nervous. With twins do they call u for more scans than normal? trying to understand how many to expect, doc didnt explain much last time.
I am currently pregnant with twins too, in my second trimester! My doctor has scheduled scans for me every month so far. Are you also feeling super tired, and how many scans has your doctor recommended till now?
With twins, the scans are definitely more frequent than a single pregnancy because doctor needs to check the fluid and growth of both babies. Usually, you might have them every month, and even more in the third trimester. Just follow your doctor's schedule strictly.
Twin pregnancies are considered high-risk naturally, so expect more frequent ultrasounds, sometimes even bi-weekly in the later months. This is just to monitor their sharing of the placenta and growth. Keep your scan files organized and don't miss any appointments!
Scans for twins can get quite frequent and a bit expensive too, honestly. I suggests finding a good, trusted diagnostic center nearby that offers packages or reasonable rates, as your gynac will surely ask for regular checkups to track both babies.
In my case, since I had a twin pregnancy, the doctor called me for scans almost every 3-4 weeks to monitor their growth closely. It varies a lot from person to person, so I can only share what my gynac recommended for me.
