When I asked I said I wanted a post partum check with my doctor - from the UK also, I didn't time the appointment so I'm assuming it was just a normal appointment. Doesn't take too long, but I had a natural vaginal delivery. She weighed and checked baby, asked questions and checked my stomach.

If your worried about your down below just ask! I did with my first after 2nd degree!
So
i had a vaginal delivery aswell i had to have stitches
I just had mine at 6 weeks postpartum in the UK. I asked the receptionist and they booked me in for a longer appointment than usual (15 minutes) just with my regular GP. It was for me and the baby. With my previous baby, I just booked a regular appointment and the GP told me I should have booked a longer one but still managed to squeeze everything in.
So
ah ok the health visitor is coming to the house to do a 6-8 week check on baby so i dont think she needs a doctors one aswell its just me
