Oh really, how rude... we were told to have our 6wk check-up with our GP, i had this with both girls, the GP checked me and also went right over the girls... maybe book in with your GP for a 6wk check for the both of you and mention it while there, doesn't hurt for the GP to get to know bubs from early on.
Otherwise yeah lots of feeds, cuddles and fluids for you, sometimes it's good to raise the head of the cot/basinette etc aswell.
