Conventional wisdom says women should have an annual exam every year, although that's changing some. Women over 30 with no issues only need to get a PAP every 2 or 3 years.
However, many doctors still won't prescribe birth control unless you go in for an exam, so if you're going to need more BC, you'll likely need to go in just after your LO is a year old.

That's me......just had my annual in December (squeeze it in the year I hit my deductable...go me!) And it came back normal, so my Dr. said that I won't need one for another 3 years
Also, I never had a PP check-up with either of my girls......not sure why, but I was jumping to get one done anyway. Just glad I'm all well and intact.

I had a 6 week PP exam, and then went back the fall sometime for my annual exam. I may try to make an appointment before we start ttc late summer if insurance will cover it.

I had a couple check ups following my c/s, and my annual was a year after my initial pregnancy test/pap. I filled out the post card to have them mail me a reminder this Spring to schedule for the beginning of August. Cancer is far too prevalent in my family to risk waiting 3 years for a pap.
I had one appt 2 weeks after my c/s so she could look at the incision. From there I scheduled one about 6 weeks out so that it could fit in within the year mark for insurance purposes. To answer your question, the last time I went to the OB was the middle of June and it will be around that time this year.
