When did your doctor advise you about your twin pregnancy?

I am 7 weeks pregnant with twins. I have had two ultrasounds and scheduled for a third one next week. Other than telling me what is going on in the ultrasound, my ob/gyn has not discussed or advised me on nutrition, care, risks and what to avoid during pregnancy. Is that normal? Did your doctor talk to you about all this in the first appointment or did he wait until he was satisfied with the progress of the developing fetus? Thanks!When did your doctor advise you about your twin pregnancy?
I am 23 weeks with twins, I found out on my first appointment with my obstetrician at 10 weeks and she didn't really talk to me about nutrition etc. She just told me that I definitely needed to be on a pregnancy multivitamin to ensure I get enough of vitamins and minerals for the bubs.





Other than that, she didn't seem to think there was that much more of a risk with the pregnancy other than the early onset of labour which we talked about at the next visit.





Congratulations by the way!!
