DS and I have our 6 week post-natal check-up this Friday. I was just wondering what to expect. What do they check over?
Are you having it with GP?
My GP checks bubs over - ears, chest, hips, testicles to see if they have descended - general questions about weight - will weigh and measure him.
My GP checks me out too - checks my uterus by feeling my tummy, checks for separation of muscles, and usually a smear if I need it, a quick internal to make sure everythign is back where it should be, like coughing to ensure pelvic floor is coming back etc - mental health and wellbeing - and the Becks PND questionnaire thingie.
Hope that helps!
Yeah, with a GP. Thanks for that. I should have mentioned... I had a c/s. Is there anything specific to that the dr will check?
Not sure about the c/s hun, I havent had one - hopefully someone might pop in who can help :)
