Did you get a vaginal exam at 6 week check up?

I have my 6 week visit tomorrow with my OB and am wondering what to expect.

I had a RCS so, I did not labor or anything. Will I still have a vaginal exam?

Thanks!

    I did, too. Although, I labored for 22 hours and was 6 cm dilated before they took me for the section.

    I did not. She just checked my scar and asked how I was feeling.

    No vaginal exam here for RCS. Dr checked my incision, asked me how I was feeling, if I had any questions, and I was on my way.

    I did, actually I think she did a pap too because I was due for one.  I didn't labor prior to the c/s.

    Yep, and I didn't labor/push either.  You'll get a pap smear too if you're due for one.

    Yep.  They check to make sure your uterus went back to normal.

    Yep, I did. Then he looked at the scar and saw how it was coming. I think I may have had a quick breast exam too.

    I did, but it had nothing to do with my c/s. OB did it so my pap would be up-to-date, and I therefore would not have to go back for a year.

    I did not. I even labored to 9cm. He asked how I was feeling, looked at the incision, asked about birth control and gave me a 3 month supply. He told me if I wanted to keep him as my gyn to schedule a pap/ bcp refill before my last pack. That was it.
