When you go to your 6 weeks pp appointment.. Do they actually do an ultrasound or pelvic exam to clear you? 🤔

I was 3 weeks pp (almost 4) last week...post csection.. and my doctor told me that I can resume my normal activities 😳

They cleared me a week postpartum with no check. I had to be seen a week post partum bc I had "high" bp according to the visiting nurse. But i was sick and taking Tylenol cold and flu which i already know raises my bp but she wouldnt listen. So i went in and the doc comes in checks to make sure my uterus went back down and told me as soon as the bleeding stops i was clear to resume my normal activities. But no they never check via ultrasound. Some do a pelvic exam. But otherwise nothing is done at the post partum check

@rese its different for everyone. If you are exclusively breast feeding it can be well after your child reaches 1.

@rese I couldn't. I had to supplement lo. And I got touched out. I was done breastfeeding at 10mo. I couldn't do it anymore.

With my 4 csections, I had the 2 week post-op check, then the 6 week check, where they would check my incision, feel my uterus (not through ultrasound, or pelvic exam), and I was cleared. So no, I’ve never had a pelvic exam, or ultrasound to be cleared. But it definitely was NEVER before the 6 week mark, that I’ve gotten cleared.

Yeah I've been checked weekly. Sometimes twice weekly due to the nature of my wound (I had a hematoma and had to get reopened and close back up).

He cleared me to drive, told me to exercise and I can use tampons, etc. Specifically.

I'd think they would know because with the csection they literally took my uterus out of me (I read in the notes... Weird lmao) but yeah I found the all clear, different. Lol

That’s not correct. I didn’t cleared till 8 weeks. I had 2 pp appointments. One at 6 weeks and the second at 8

Well I had a hematoma and had to have my incision reopened. And I've been to the OB every week now. Sometimes two times a week.

My question is more so what do they do to clear you? Like did they do an ultrasound or pelvic exam? Or what?
