Ladies, how important is it to get that 6 week check-up after having a baby? I just had my 4th child and am debating on not making that appointment. I feel good and pretty sure my uterus is back where it should be. So are there any good reasons I should go?
TIA!
You probably know your body pretty well, and after 4 kids you may feel that you can tell if everything is okay. I guess I would say, what is your reason for NOT going? Money? Time? Hassle? Even if would confirm what I already felt (that I'm okay), I'd feel better. And I'd go if only to show off the new baby to the staff who last saw me very pregnant!
You can get your annual pap smear done
They must schedule for a reason. Better safe than sorry. I say go.
I would go to be sure because you might feel good but miss something and just so the doctor can finish his job and you are dismissed more or less. I would do it even though I'm sure you know you are fine.
