Did your doc have you back at 4 weeks or 6 post partum

Question

My doc has me coming back at 4 weeks. Most everyone else I know went back at 6. What about you?

Answer 1

My sister had to be back at 3 weeks. Her blood pressure was pretty high. Many things are factored in when scheduling an appointment. You should ask your doctor if everything is okay, not some unreliable Internet users.

Answer 2

It really just depends on your doctor, I had two different doctors for both my kids one had me come back at 4 weeks and the other at 6, so it just depends on your doctor

Answer 3

my doctor had me go back 4 weeks after birth.

Answer 4

I went back at 1 week (to get my staples out after emergency c-sec) and then at 6 weeks for the normal postnatal check up.

I think 6 weeks is much more common, but if your doc wants you back at 4 weeks...well no biggie. That is probably just his/her preference, and that is okay.

Answer 5

6, but I had a c-section

Answer 6

I went back at four weeks but I had a c-section. It's all up to your doctor really. If he's telling you to come back at 4 weeks there is probably a good reason. If you have any concerns with why he is having you come back at 4 weeks instead of 6 maybe mention it when you go to see him.  

Answer 7

6 after Cesarean.

Answer 8

four but i had a C-section

Answer 9

does it matter?

he's your doctor..

go when he tells you too!

Answer 10

6 weeks- Every BODY is different though. Maybe ask your Doc why 4 weeks & not 6. Maybe you are a super healer?!

Good Luck & Congrats! :)

Answer 11

My midwife had me come back at 4 weeks.  I think it just depends on the doctors preference.

Answer 12

I went back after 4 weeks only because he had to release me back to work.  He asked me why in the world was I back so soon. But i had no choice...I needed to work! He didnt even check me or anything down there. Just my weight and blood pressure and sent me on my merry way. lol. It is normally 6 weeks.  But it is okay if it is 4.  Just make sure you are not hurting/ in pain...if you think you are having a problem then go back to your doctor.

Answer 13

6 weeks with both children
