When did you get an annual gynecological exam after childbirth? One year later? I'm 13 months postpartum and it just occurred to me that maybe I need to schedule an exam but I will be finding a new office so I figured I'd ask beds first.
-
I never did... Then got pregnant again anyway...
-
@Jennibenni: a year from my last appointment rather than a year from birth. My last appointment was 6 weeks after birth
-
they had me come in 6m after my 6 week appt
-
I just went in when I was due for a pap.
-
I went after it had been a year since my last pap. I was 8 months PP.
-
Im scheduled for one next month, so 4/5 mos post partum. My new doctor did not have my records when I saw her, so she may even push this one back.
-
They had me schedule an appt 3-4 months after my 6 week pp visit.
-
I didn't but was PG again sooo.....
-
I went to my 6 week and then I'm pretty sure I just went on my usual schedule, which is usually in February so it ended up like 7 months PP I think.
-
I ended up going in only 12 weeks or so after LO was born, mostly because I hadn't had a PCP up until that point and I wanted to make sure I had one since I knew that I'd probably get sick with a newborn. In retrospect, it was weird to go in so soon after my post-partum check-up but I was so used to doctors visits at that point that I didn't really even think about it.
-
They did a Pap at my 6-week postpartum, so I would typically get a Pap done a year later. I need yearly paps though, I believe the recommendation has changed for the general populace.
-
Based on the fact that I have the same partner- they said I only need to come in every couple years. And keep giving me birth control. I had a six week exam.
-
I had my annual exam around 2 months postpartum. It was one year from my previous annual/pap. I think my OB tries to keep people on their regular schedule.
-
Thanks all! I didn't realize the recommendation had changed from one year.
-
I saw my doctor at about 6-8 weeks PP and then yearly thereafter.
-
Had a baby in November and they did a pap at my 6 week checkup after that. Next annual exam is in December again.
-
6 weeks pp and then yearly. I always go yearly as it's covered by my insurance.
-
I'm pretty sure at my postpartum check they said to come back in the fall (1 year from my last pap) even though I don't need a pap for 2 more years.
-
I had one at 11 months, but only because I was getting an IUD placed.
