Answer 1

it is 6 weeks  or when they have a opening for u new baby  and u .  good luck  with  ur new baby

Answer 2

Two weeks!  I had check-ups with the doctor two weeks with both children.  It's really simple.  They just check babies, weight, height, head circumference, umbilical cord, circumcision (if it applies), and make sure the baby has been feeding, sleeping, and pooing and peeing well.  They check vitals and see if you have any questions.  That's about it!

Answer 3

I believe 6 weeks

Answer 4

It's generally 6 weeks after giving birth. Give or take a week depending on the doctors and your schedule.

Answer 8

Welcome to Motherhood, in advance.

Six weeks would do just fine, unless your doctor, leaves you

with instructions, saying otherwise.

I work at a birth center in the hospital and a routine check up is 1 week after you have the baby to verify that the baby can hear, go over blood work done to the baby in the hospital (PKU testing; which tests any abnormalties for disease) and a bili-meter test for juandice. If you refuse to get the Hepatitis B vaccine, I believe this is when they would give the first one, or maybe it's at the 3 month check up.

Hope that helps :)
