Except this is actually a 9-week follow-up appointment because my doctor was on holiday and then last week when he was back I couldn't get an appointment. Grrr.
Anyway, it's happening on Tuesday - I can't believe the twins will be 9 weeks old.
So tell me - what happens at the 6-week follow-up and what questions do I need to ask him?
I asked my friend C if they do an internal and she said "yes, it's horrible. brace yourself". Oh dear!
These are the ones I have so far:
- why are my knees so messed up?
- when am I supposed to get my period?
And seeing as he's doing an internal anyway, I want him to do a Pap smear and get that out of the way for the year.
What else???
And in other news, look what I found under my bed! A Cyclogest pessary!
Must have rolled under the bed one evening and I was too lazy to look for it - not that I would have used it but still!
My 6 week wasn't horrible. It's like a regular GYN visit. Pap, internal and they check your scar. Quick talk about birth control (HA like I need that!) and then we proceeded to fuss over the babies since I had them with me!
ReplyDeleteMake sure you take a picture with you, these babies earned their spot on the wall!
I just had a 2 week check up and they told me that at my 6 week check up I would have a vaginal exam and have my uterus checked to make sure it was getting back to normal. They'd also check my c-section incision and discuss birth control options with me. Why would the internal be so horrible if you had a c-section?! I look forward to hearing how your appointment goes.
ReplyDeleteMandi, you are so right. Will have to take a pic. I said to D, it's going to be sad - I know I'm his favourite patient. Who else whips out a notebook with a list of questions at every appt?! LOL
ReplyDeleteMandy, I just hate internals - gross. And they usually hurt for me - i think it's the endometriosis.

ReplyDeleteI didn't have an internal at my 6 week... not complaining but wonder why it is necessary? I had a ultra sound and he checked everything including uterus that way. Much easier and less fuss. Did a quick urine test and talked about birth control...
