    Missed 6 week check up

    With everything we've had going on and DS's health issues, i never got around to having my own 6 week check up, DS is 10 weeks now. Is there any point having it? what do they check for? (I don't need a pap smear, is there any other reason to go?)

    Okay cool, don't think i'll bother then, the boys have been dragged to and from the dr way too much already lately.

    One thing though, if i can't see my stitches should i assume they have dissolved?

    I would still go. Check b/p, feel abdominals to ensure uterus has gone down, discuss birth control. I dunno, it made me feel better to go......

    I wouldn't be too concerned if you feel all good, and had a straightforward delivery, plus bleeding and everything has sorted itself out.

    Cute piccy mummab!

    Hmm i might just book in to be sure... i haven't actually dtd yet so don't know if all is okay down there

    Maz i think they do usually do the pap smears at the 6 week check, depends when you last had one. I had them through my pregnancy.

    Thanks Lee

    I went for my 6 weeks check up after DS but totally forgot about it after DD. I don't think you really need to go unless you are having problems...
