My doc schedules them for week 4. I was relieved to do it then since I had tearing and wanted to make sure everything was healing fine. I casually asked why they did them early though and was told that it was so their practice had a better report card of seeing women by 6 weeks since people cancel or whatnot.
I had a c-section and went at 2 weeks, 4 weeks and will go again at 6 weeks. During the first two he checked the incision and we talked about how I was feeling (I'm at risk for PPD and have been showing signs). At the 6 week appointment he will do a vaginal exam.
Re: Anyone go for their pp check earlier than
Exactly 6 weeks for me was a holiday so I wound up going closer to 5 weeks.
ETA: I had a vaginal delivery, not a C-section.
