Well for me it was just a case of asking how I was, both physically and emotionally...as I said I was "all fine" down there, they don't feel the need to poke about, which I was relieved about!
-Then it was discussing contraception....So no, no nasty internals unless you feel you have anything that needs checking.
You shouldn't get an internal and def not a smear as the results can be inconclusive before 12 weeks after giving birth. The most they should do is feel your belly to see if your womb has shrunk properly.
Ahh I get it.. does it just check for cancer? Or do they check other things as well? Anyone know how likely they are to routinely do one of these in south east England as part of a postnatal checkup??

Tash I think its unlikely you would get a smear test done as part of your post natal check as in the UK now, under most PCT's they don't let you have one until 12 weeks post partum. Before then the results of a smear test can be inaccurate.
-But they may book an appointment for you to have one in a few weeks time if yours is now overdue.
