Postpartum check at 6 weeks

Usually 5w–8w after the birth

What it is

OB or family doctor: BP, bleeding, wound, pelvic floor, mood, contraception, sex, thyroid if symptomatic, blood count if needed. Book it now; ACOG also suggests a call by 3 weeks.

Start preparing

1. Write down: bleeding, pain, leaking, mood, sleep, feeding, sex questions.
2. Ask for a pelvic-floor physio referral if you leak or feel heaviness.
3. Bring your pregnancy file — the GDM or BP story matters for your future health.
