So...how many u/s should I expect? I had an u/s every month for the first 4-5 mons and then it was every 2 weeks after that until about 30-32 weeks ( I think, would havta look and see ) and in the end I was getting 1-2 per week, with the NST, they had a hard time telling the difference between their hb's. plus I was getting them done at my OB's office. I had ALOT!! But I was also considered higher risk because I'm diabetic.

Will I have to see a Peri? I only saw a peri ONE time during my whole twin pregnancy and that was just to do a thorough u/s to see blood flow and all that good stuff. And the only reason I had to see a peri for that was because my OB didn't have that on their u/s machines in his office, other then that, I saw my OB the whole time.

Have you found your OB anxious to plan a c/s? I knew from the beginning that I was having a c/s cause I've had too many c/s in the past so I wasn't given a choice.

What additional testing do they want you to do? I didn't have too many done because so many of them are false/positives due to carrying twins anyway. But you WILL get your fair share of tests done.

Do you have appts more often even in the beginning? I went once a month for the first 20-24 weeks and then every 2 weeks after that until about 32 weeks and then every week after that. LOTS of NST's Gosh! Those things got on my nerves after awhile cause I was doing them twice a week for like the last 6-8 weeks.

I labor super fast, will they want me to do an induction so they can control the situation? Not sure on this one cause I had a scheduled c/s

Those that know the sex of thier babies...did you find out through your basic u/s or another test like the cvs? I found out through basic u/s at about 15 weeks and EVERY u/s I had after that, I'd make em check again...lol If you wanna know the sexes, there is a GREAT chance that you WILL know for SURE before they are born cause you will get alot of u/s
