It didn't hurt at all for me &amp; it was less invasive then the checks they do the las 2-4 weeks before your LO arrives. Then I was told that my next normal pap would be 1 year from then, unless of course I was pregnant before that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doctor-appointments-after-vaginal-birth#post-103060 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 13:42:33 +0000 Andrea 103060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You go 6 weeks after to get checked and then you resume your normal exams ... assuming everything has healed up fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doctor-appointments-after-vaginal-birth#post-103058 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 13:39:12 +0000 heffalump 103058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only went 6 weeks after. If there's no big issue, you shouldn't have to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doctor-appointments-after-vaginal-birth#post-103049 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 13:30:14 +0000 Mrsbells 103049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering for those who had a vaginal birth, did you have to go to doctor very often afterwards to get checked on your healing progress? How did this go, I'm kinda nervous about this. I dont know I'm more scared of cervical checks and post baby checks than I am of the actual birth itself! </p>
