What happens at the post CS 6 week checkup?

I need to make my appointment and just curious what happens at this appointment.  Do they just check your incision, or other stuff too?  For what its worth, I had a remarkably easy recovery so I don't even feel like I need anything.

Incision check, internal exam to make sure your cervix is closed and everything, then birth control discussion.

My OB did a brief incicison check and asked how I was feeling and if I wanted any hormonal BC. I did not even have to take any of my clothes off. It seems to vary a lot.

My follow up was at 4 weeks pp. Doc only looked at the incision. My c/s was scheduled so nothing related to cervix opening/closing or any internal exams. Oh and birth control.

Funny the whole visit lasted maybe 10 minutes bc DD started screaming her head off and I had to evacuate... haha...

My OB told me it will be another incision check (I had one at 2 weeks pp) an internal exam with a pap (I have not had one since December 2010, but apparently as long as I have never had an abnormal one is the way things will be, every 2 years now) and talk about birth control.

Check the incision, did a pap smear (standard for my OB, as you likely won't be back to the doctor for a year) talked BC, breast exam, talked about timing for future pregnancies, and went over the notes from the C/S surgery.

I had just my incision checked. It was really quick.

I have a 2wk pp appt and a 6wk pp appt. At 2wks just an incision check. At the 6wk they do an incision check, internal pelvic exam, then blood work. My office does blood work to check all your levels especially thyroid and iron to make sure everything is okay.
