Postpartum checkup

Sarah

My doctor wants to see me at 4 weeks for a checkup. I'm curious as to why so early. I remember 3 years ago with my first I wasnt checked til 6 weeks. With my first i had a vaginal delivery and episiotomy at 39 weeks. With this one I had a vaginal delivery with no tearing at 37 weeks with preeclampsia. Both were via induction I'm also planning a tubal ligation after I'm healed if that matters.
