Since I had a section, I had my first post-natal check at 2 weeks. I have another one at 6 weeks. My doctor told me that she will also be doing a pap and deciding what contraception I want. Not looking forward to that appt, but after being pregnant, I became a bit less modest with my doctor.

Good luck!

-But they may book an appointment for you to have one in a few weeks time if yours is now overdue.

If it's overdue? I don't think I've ever had one...! How often are you suppposed to have one done then?

Thanks for the info Rachie

You are supposed to have them once every 3 years once you have become sexually active or once you are over 19 (I think its 19)whichever came first.
