C-section moms - 6 week appt

[miss1991]

When I went for my 6 week appt they just looked at my incision. But I cleaned up anyway, just in case. I had the implanon inmplanted 3 dys pp. So I am guessing if you asked they would give you an rx for bc if you wanted.

Not that it matter's but I had the implanon removed 2 wks ago it sucked!

I think they just check your incision? But I feel like I may have gotten a pap that day too because I was due for one. Might as well tidy up just in case! Not sure about the pill..got my tubes tied but my skin sucks again so I need to go back on it or do something.

i don't remember if they looked at my vag... i feel like they did- and also did a pap. either way - can't hurt to clean up a little, and don't worry about it looking fabulous, lol

as for the rx - likely will just tell you to call in when you are ready to go back on the pill.

I had a pap at my 6 week post-op. I hadn't decided on birth control (still haven't actually), but my ob said to just call the office when I'm ready to get an rx or to schedule shots/iud/whatever.

I had a pap at my 6 week both times.

I **think** you have to be on the mini pill since you're nursing.

Yep. If you are nursing you can only take the mini pill.

At my 6 week check they checked my incision and did a pap.

My incision wasn't checked due to multiple appointments before my 6 week appt. I did have a pap at 6 weeks and the BC talk and general talking. It was lovely. I love my midwife.

I had a pap at my 6 wk and they gave me a script for whatever. Since you aren't going to fill it for 6 months it might be different though.

[jenjen]

I also had a pap and he checked my incision. We discusse BC options.

i did not have a pap but they did do an internal and check my incision at my 4w PP appt (standard at my office). at 6w i got my mirena IUD.

[hannamaren]

They didnt even make me take off my pants. Just asked how it was healing. Yes, really.

I really liked the mini pill and it's SUPER rare for it to impact supply. I credit it with no period for 14 months (got it as soon as I quit, despite still nursing).

I had my 6 week appt last week. Definitely had an internal and was given a script for my regular pill. My OB said that now that my supply is established I would be fine with the regular pill. I take loestrin 24 so not sure if that makes a difference. I am undecided if I am actually going to fill the script or not.

I got a script for mini pill (but I'm also just using condoms for now) and my doc said I can call the office once I'm done bf ing and they'll phone me in my usual stuff.

my 6 week appointment had an internal exam, yes. She checked to make sure the wound from the placenta was healed.

I didn't have an internal at my 6 week appt. She checked my incision, I asked if I could start running again and when I could come back for Mirena. That was it.

I'm pretty sure the issue w/ the regular pill is that the hormones pass into the breastmilk and to the baby....

I did the mini pill w/ DS1 for about 6 months. I had NO sex drive and so I stopped taking it. After DS2 I got Mirena.
