OB/GYN Appt PP?

Question

When/why did you return to your OB after having a baby?

I left my doctor for a midwife/birth center during my pregnancy, but before getting pregnant I think I was going annually to renew my BC pills prescription... I know I need to wait until I'm done breastfeeding to get back on the pill, is there any reason why I'd need to go back to my OB before that?

*Sorry I totally didn't clarify 😝 I'm 5 months pp I've had my 2 and 6 week appointments but my midwives don't go any further than that... I was asking when I'd return for a regular, non pregnancy related appointment!

Answer

I switched to a midwife as well. I know see her for all my well women care. Pap, birth control, breast exams...

Unless your midwife/birth center does it, you need to go so they can check if you're healing correctly.
