What should I expect during my first postnatal check-up?

Your first postnatal check-up, usually scheduled around six weeks after childbirth, is crucial for your health. During this appointment, your GP or midwife will assess your physical recovery, including checking for any complications such as infection or issues with your uterus. They will also discuss your emotional well-being, including any signs of postpartum depression or anxiety. This is a great opportunity to ask questions about your recovery, breastfeeding, or any concerns you may have. Remember, this check-up is all about ensuring you feel well and supported.
