Postpartum visit... how long after giving birth???

[Tasha505]

How long after you gave birth are you scheduled for your postpartum visit? With my old doc (along the rest of the docs in my town), it's 4 weeks, but I have this new doc and she asked me to come in only 3 weeks after I gave birth... anyone else only have to wait 3 weeks? I am just a little concerned that I might not be completely healed...

i went 6 weeks after having Em and then 2 weeks after that appointment again because of the high risk wiht my blood clotting disease

With all of my kids it's been 6 weeks.  That's with several different doctors.

My midwife came to my house and saw me at 3 days after, and 1 week after, and now I'm going to go see at about 4.5 weeks after and that will be my last visit. Normally she would have requested a 3 week and a 6 week visit but she's 2 hours away so we're kinda doing it in the middle lol :P

My doctor is also 6 weeks, but since it was pre-set and I delivered early I'll actually be 7 weeks PP.

In Canada we are asked to come in for a 1 week (so exactly after a week after the birth, c section or not) then depending on how you doc feels your healing we could have to wait until 6 weeks to be seen again. With Soraya I was asked to come in for a 1 weeks, 2 week, and now next week I will go in for my 6 week.
Most doctors here will tell to come in early though if you have any questions or concerns.
