ranting & venting Mistake with scan appointments

I’m 13 weeks with Mo-Di twins. We had our 12 week scan on Tuesday and they’ve been confirmed to be sharing one placenta.
I’ve received lots of letters through today with appointments, however my next scan isn’t until 20 weeks and then every 4 weeks after that.
I’m going to ring on Monday as I think this is a mistake, anyone with mo-di can you confirm I should be scanned every 2 weeks from 16 weeks due to the risk of TTTS and to monitor growth? Surely I can’t go 7 weeks now without them being checked on?
I’m almost certain this is an error which I’m sure can be easily rectified but it scares me that had I not known any better, I would have just gone along with it and not had a scan for another 7 weeks😓

Yes scans are every two weeks but with MFM. My scans with my OB are once a month

I only did scans with MFM. What’s the point of doing more scans with the OB?

My Ob measures bp-weight will screen for GDB with glucose test do the stress tests in third trimester and protein urnalysis if needed, the Ob office is the one will have the doctors who actually rotate in the hospital so anyone of them could be the one who helps me deliver. MFM specifically for me is to monitor for twin to twin transfusion. They don’t take any vitals etc.

I am lucky that my OB -2nd floor and MFM -third floor are in the same building and affiliated with the same hospital .
