    My 6 week check was just a check on me and not my baby but I remember others on here saying it was both so must depend on your surgery or where you are from. The questions I was asked was just how I was keeping and coping with a newborn and if I had any concerns after the birth. They also mentioned about contraception again.

    With my lo they did a fairly in depth check, listened to her heart and breathing, checked in her mouth, her spine, hips, tested some reflexes and so on.

    With me it was less detailed but I think they took my blood pressure, talked about contraception, a few questions to check for postnatal depression, and any worries about the birth and recovery. The GP also asked if wanted my stitches checked but I wasn't keen, luckily they said that was up to me!

    i can't actually remember having one for myself? maybe i did and just forgotten...i remember getting lactulose from the doc around that time though so maybe i did?

    JJ had everything checked, all limbs/body parts, head shape, how he held his head when on his tummy, weight, length and the doc held him up to make sure he did like running movements when his feet touched the floor. He even wee'd right on time when the doc was asking about his "stream" :lol: x
