    Hi, I have an appointment at 32 and 34 weeks already scheduled but I have not been scheduled for any NST's. Is this something every twin pregnancy should be doing? Maybe I should request them.

    I never had an NST, and we all came out just fine. I wouldn't worry about it if your OB isn't. :)

    i asked my peri about it and she said i'll only have it if necessary. not sure what criteria would make it necessary, though. i didn't think to ask that!!

    I started mine a week early due to baby sizes, but I was going to start them at week 34 anyways.

    I didn't get NST's until I was on hospital bedrest. I was there 30-32 weeks and then back in again between 32.5 and 34 weeks...I had them the last round there.

    Not everyone gets NST's. It's up to your doctor based on criteria such as how old you are, how you are doing with the pregnancy, and how the baby/ies are doing. Mine were REALLY boring, and I had to go once a week from 32 weeks on, and a second time each week starting at 36 weeks.
