It is not the norm, but it's what my practice did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-week-pp-ob-visit#post-502560 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:39:35 +0000 Andrea 502560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace: vaginally and I had 1st degree grazes only. I will call when they open, thx! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-week-pp-ob-visit#post-502559 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:39:07 +0000 mediagirl 502559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Huh...I didn't have to go in until 6 weeks. There was no 2 week. Do you think you should go since you have had some clots, though? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-week-pp-ob-visit#post-502556 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:37:34 +0000 thismustbetheplace 502556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you deliver vaginally or by csection? a two week post partum appointment is generally for either an incision check, suture removal, or to ensure that any vaginal tears were healing properly. Other than that, the routine post partum is generally 4-6 weeks pp. Is there a triage nurse you could speak to at the office just to make sure there isn't anything important they're checking?</p> <p>eta- I work in OB/GYN, this is just the norm in our office </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-week-pp-ob-visit#post-502553 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:36:16 +0000 winniebee 502553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt like mine was a waste - I think they do it sort of just to check your mental health and see how things are going. She felt my abdomen and my breasts and we talked about BF. And weighed me and checked my blood pressure </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-week-pp-ob-visit#post-502544 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:30:53 +0000 Andrea 502544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember what the OB checks after 2 weeks. I'm pretty tired and don't feel like driving over there. Can I skip this? I feel like everything is fine. :-P </p>
