6 week postnatal check up
I’m due my 6/8 week check up at the doctors and was wondering what this actually entails?
My birth went well, I did have stitches but I think they are all healed and have had no problems. Will I have to have an internal examination?

@Kelly thank you very much! X
You’re welcome ☺️ I would recommend making a list of anything you might want to discuss. I was so focussed on getting baby checked that I forgot about a couple of things for myself that I could have used some advice on!
I havent even recieved my 6/8 week appointment yet
@Chantelle💖 have you registered your baby with your drs? That seemed to be what triggered getting the postnatal check booked for me!
Yes their so behind with appointments

Hi I had my check a couple of weeks back. They looked over the baby to check everything is ok (much less thorough than the NIPE check at the hospital though). They asked if i wanted my stitches checked. I did have mine checked even though I’d had no issues either. They also ask how I was coping from a mental health point of view. And asked about contraception. I don’t remember them doing anything else!
