Can anyone tell me what to expect? I was supposed to have it last tuesday but my dr.had to deliver. So we waited for like an hour. But he wasnt back and no other dr could see me. So my appointment is next tuesday and my son will be 7 weeks.

    they just check the baby make sure everything moves properly, tgey are eating well, weight, height. they might check ur healing if u had stitches, ask about bleeding n contraception n thatd bout it, think bub gets hepb injection aswell

    they do a pap!! and it sucks!! its pretty much like a normal lady doctor appointment but they may ask how u are coping and doing with baby aswell... if u feel depressed or anything let them know so u can get the proper help u need =D they will check ur weight to make sure ur going down good stuff like that. they'll check ur boobies too so if ur breast feeding it may be a little painful. its not bad =D good luck!

    I had a pap smear and talked about how I felt physically and emotionally and talked about birth control.

    the only thing I remember of my 6 week was the pap smear. :-S

    He/she will perform a vaginal exam to make sure your uterus has droped back down into position. She will will be checking any stitches you may hsve. Mine did a breast check to make sure my ducts went cloged. I breast feed. Then the norm blood pressure and weight. Then they will go over your mental well being......the most important convo you need to have. Then they will discus your birth control options. That's prety much it. Wham bamn thank you Mamm!! Lol
  • momof5momof5
    Well expect a vajayjay check. Lol. And birth control conversation. And the doc will ask if you have had sex yet. And then he/she will ask if there is baby blues and are you dealing okay with the birth. All that fun stuff. I had a student doctor come in that day and she did my vajayjay check yeah I tell ya I never had a speculum hurt so bad. Lol.

    @momof5 thanks :) will the pap hurt as bad bc I had a c section?
  • momof5momof5
    I think mine hurt cause I had a student doc that had no clue what she was doing. Lol. I have never had a pap hurt at all. But I agreed to have the student do it cause I know what its like to be a student needing skills done. Lol. :)
  • waasaewaasae
    I had a c-section as well. It didn't hurt, just slightly uncomfortable. :)

    if this post goes through multiple times, I'm sorry! Stupid, spazzy phone!
  • PumpkinCupcake0307PumpkinCupcake0307
    @momof5 ya my pap hurt when I first found out I was pregnant then they didnt tell me I was going to bleed.. Pregnant girl freaking out lol.

    @waasae it only posted once :p and my last one hurt :(
  • waasaewaasae
    Ohhhhhh, boo! So you're prone to having them hurt already, I'm sorry! :(
    Well, just make sure you tell your doctor that it hurts, it should help if they have some gentle hands. Also, I don't know if this makes much of a difference but mine uses the plastic... thingy... with me, the smallest size she has. She's also really good at attaching it. I had one ER doc when I was 12 weeks with this pregnancy literally fight to attach it. That was the only time I've had a pap hurt. X(

    I had a csection and it felt the same as before delivery!
  • PumpkinCupcake0307PumpkinCupcake0307
    @waasae no the dr is not gentle :( he said last time "your cervix is really in there" I wanted to cry lol.

    @Lauren0204Robert yikes :(

  • bummy87bummy87
    they checked us both yeah, I went back at 3months for my pap when I was ready, she only askef abt my mental state n contraception n future plans, if I was going back to work, if I wanted more kids n when most of the focus was on bub though I thought
  • momof5momof5
    @maymommy11. I wouldn't have complained as much during my pap either if maybe she would have taken me to dinner first. Haha. My nurse is really cool tho cause she got the jelly out for the doc and the student and was like well they all are getting lubed you want some to. Lol. She always makes an awkward situation comfortable. Lol. And it don't help that my doctor is also my medical control doc and I work with him when he has shifts in ER. Lol. Gotta love it.
  • PumpkinCupcake0307PumpkinCupcake0307
    @momof5 haha that would be awkward! Im dreading the pap smear. :( Im having my period off and on, do you think theyll still do one?
  • momof5momof5
    Usually they don't do one when your on your period. I'm glad I got mine done and over with. Lol. I don't have to go back for another year. Now just waiting on my period to start. My husband is flipping out haha. I keep telling him that its just messed up cause of having the baby and I have my tubes tied now so its gna be weird for a while. Lol.
  • PumpkinCupcake0307PumpkinCupcake0307
    @momof5 Oh great lol. Im more so spotting idk why itsnot just a normal period.. Ugh lol.
  • momof5momof5
    Your lucky. I had an all out stuck a hog in the throat bleeding. It stopped for 2 weeks then started again for 9 days straight. But I also take a blood thinner so that might have something to do with it. Lol. Be glad its just spotting. Lol.
  • PumpkinCupcake0307PumpkinCupcake0307
