Q: Will I need to have a postnatal check-up? If so, when?
A:
A postnatal check-up will be arranged for you six weeks after your baby is born. This is to check that you have made a complete recovery and you have no postnatal concerns. During the check-up we will also discuss contraception and, if you have not had a cervical smear done recently, we can do this for you. We do not perform 6-week check-ups for the baby. This is done by your GP or health visitor.
