I brought DH and LO but could have gone alone. I was nursing LO when my Doctor walked in. If anyone will be understanding of your need to nurse, your OB/midwife should be!</p> <p>At mine they just asked questions about birth control and took a quick peek down below and said everything looked fine (I had really bad tearing).</p> <p>ETA: No pap for me either. I'm not due for like 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-at-my-6-week-pp-appointment#post-933112 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:40:48 +0000 rachiecakes 933112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: if she says you're due and would like to do one, just tell her that you still have some pain and ask if you can schedule it for a little later. I'm sure that would be okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-at-my-6-week-pp-appointment#post-933047 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:25:46 +0000 sslm 933047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No pap, but only because I wasn't due! She looked at my lady parts to make sure there were no healing issues. I had a midwife, so I took baby, and she was weighed and measured and looked over. 6 weeks was my last midwife appointment, I was sad!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-at-my-6-week-pp-appointment#post-933044 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:25:38 +0000 MamaMoose 933044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought my LO because I knew my doc and all the nurses would want to see her. But she was a pretty easy baby so I knew she wouldn't cry since I fed her right before we left for the appointment.</p> <p>My doc did an internal exam, asked me how I was feeling, asked about Birth Control, and cleared me for normal activity. That was it. Easy Peasy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-at-my-6-week-pp-appointment#post-933026 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:22:03 +0000 MrsF 933026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No pap (I don't think I was due). Basically she just looked around, asked about BF, talked about birth control. She was disappointed that M wasn't there bit I was glad I left her at home with DH. she was so colicky that I couldn't handle the stress of having her there. I brought her to a later appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-at-my-6-week-pp-appointment#post-933010 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:18:43 +0000 Boheme 933010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: I was hoping you'd answer! I still have pain off and on and I do NOT want a pap right now. Ouch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-at-my-6-week-pp-appointment#post-932996 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:15:49 +0000 rachiecakes 932996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: She just took a look at things, felt around. Asked me about breastfeeding and PPD. Asked about birth control.<br /> She was actually disappointed that I didn't bring DS with me! :) </p> <p>@coacheswife123: I was terrified I was going to get a pap because I had over a hundred stitches and still had a lot of healing to do, but she said I didn't need one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-at-my-6-week-pp-appointment#post-932986 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:13:35 +0000 pl0508 932986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went alone and it was standard - I got a Pap smear and they told me I was good to go ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-at-my-6-week-pp-appointment#post-932981 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:11:50 +0000 Boheme 932981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have my appointment tomorrow - Can anyone give me any insight on what to expect and what questions to ask? I had quite a bit of trauma/tearing at birth, so I don't know if that factors in or not. Did you bring your LO with you? He is EBF but will happily take a bottle from DH...We just don't generally do that unless we have to.</p> <p>I'm so sleep deprived with LO that I'm sure I'll forget everything I need to ask unless I write it down! </p>
