What to expect at 6 wk PP exam?

jwoods6056 · June 2010

Hi all, I have my 6 week PP exam with my OB on Friday. What all does this doctor visit entail? Do they do an internal exam at this appointment? Just curious so I know what to expect. Thanks!!

i had a c-section and all my doctor did was check my incision, blood pressure & weight and write me a prescription for my birth control. i didn't have an internal exam.

My dr just checked how I was healing (I had a 2nd degree tear) and asked me questions to see if I had PPD.

Pap, check your healing, push on your belly, things done at your normal yearly appt, discuss bc

At mine it was a complete physical. I had a pap done and a pelvic exam. The doctor also checked my stitches and we talked about birth control.

My dr. checked my c-section incision, did a quick internal exam (I mentioned still having discharge) and checked that my uterus had gone down. Also did weight/blood pressure, gave me prescription for BC.

I expected an internal and a talk about birth control/future babies. When I got there all we did was talk about birth control after he asked if I'd had an OK vaginal delivery.... he didn't even ask about my stitches, how I was feeling up until the 6 weeks check up or if I had any questions. Needless to say I haven't and wont use him anymore.
