    There wasn't at my 2 week PP appointment.

    Basically it was a weight check, blood pressure check, and a look at the incision. I didn't even have to undress anything. They re-evaluated the "do's and don't" (like you can lift ____lbs now, but still no sex until the next appointment). I had a little verbal PPD survey and some warning signs to watch out for there.

    I had some blood pressure issues while I was in labor and after my c/s so they ran through possible causes there and since my blood pressure was still a little elevated I got some blood work done too. Sad

    Otherwise my 6 week PP appointment had the internal exam (and then it was time for my yearly pap so I got that out of the way). It didn't feel great but wasn't really any different than a regular pap--probably less than a minute total. Then my OB wanted to talk birth control, option of VBAC or not, etc.

    At my 2 week PP appt all the dr did was ask about pain, check the incision and send me on my way.

    Melissa! Congrats! This is Brianna from TTGP. Your daughter is beautiful. I haven't seen you on the Bump since our TTGP days!

    I want to say that I had an internal but I could be wrong. Those first weeks were a little hazy.
