Good luck with the Perinatologist. My wife went to a Perinatologist when we found out she was carrying twins. The good news is you get to see the babies every month. Most people get one ultra sound at 20 weeks we got one every month until the last month and then once a week until delivery. Congrats on the eye exam.
