What usually happens at the 6 week post birth follow up with your obstetrician?

doing a pap is pretty routine especially if you want to be on BC. Your doc will also want to check that you've healed properly, also expect a exam, bp and weight check. depending on your doc, you might have labs done to check you for anemia or thyroid problems too. you'll be asked questions regarding how your recovery went-both physical and emotional and how the baby is doing. you'll have the oportunity to ask questions about the birth. Discussing birth control is part of the visit. you don't have to bring the baby if you don't want to.
