when was your first check up after giving birth?

Just curious.  I was told to go in for a check-up a month after giving birth (even when I called asking about different issues I was having).  I saw posts where some of you said you had a four week or two week follow up.  Was that common?  Seemed weird to me they didn't want to check on me till 5-6 weeks later.

With my first DD I had one at 6 weeks. My OB wants to see me at 4 weeks this time, though.

2 weeks to check on my incision, then 4 weeks to check on my clogged milk duct, then an internal at 6 weeks. My doctors are really thorough.

I had to go back 2 weeks PP I had a pretty bad tear so my OB wanted to check it out to see if it'd need to be repaired. Thankfully it was healing fine

Our midwives do a standard 2 week then 6 week model. They see both baby and mom at the 2 week (and didn't do an internal or anything for me, but would have had there been tearing or anything). The 6 week is just for me. It worked out nice because I got time to ask questions about what was going on with me. They also had a questionnaire for me re:PPD just in case. We didn't meet baby's pediatrician until his 1 month checkup, which I think isn't typical. Most peds will see the baby at 2 week as well, this meant less leaving the house for baby and I early on.

The midwives practice also did a home visit 2 days after we got home from the birth. They have been very available over the phone etc as well.

i have a two week follow-up to check my blood pressure.  it was high following landon's birth so they have me on procardia, which totally sucks because i haven't even been able to have my celebratory glass of wine yet my regular pp checkup is at 6 weeks.
