Question...

I have a personal question to ask all the ladies. I have my 6 week postpartum check-up this week, and Iam still bleeding. Should I reschedule my appointment? John has already asked off for work, so I kind of feel like I have to go. Tell me what you think...

I'd say no.
I wasn't still bleeding at my PP check up, but mine was at 8 weeks.

I'd keep the appt. Not only did your hubby take off work---but, surely you are not the ONLY one to go & still be bleeding.

Hell, I've had my pap on my period before. Not my first choice, but sometimes my cycle is all screwy & those appts. are set so far in advance!

I was still bleeding too. It may be something you wanna talk to the OB about. I was still bleeding and still went.

Keep the apt. Plus you also just want to mnake sure everything is ok down there. But if your anything like me-I did not want anyone going in there after the baby just came out. lol

I think it's fine to go. They see hoo-has in all kinds of shape.

I honestly don't think most OBs really care, as long as it is not the first day of a horrifying period or something. I know that can sometimes alter your pap results, but beacause your bleeding is likely related to having a baby, then I think it would be fine. Call and ask?

I was still spotting by my pp appt, and I went anyway. And still got the green light for sex. Go figure.

i say yes they need to see how much blood and stuff if you are still spotting

I might be too late. I think you should go to the appt. anyway. The bleeding may be something you want to discuss with the MD.

I don't think it's out of the ordinary to still be bleeding some when you go for your 6 week checkup. I think I was actually. I'm sure your doc won't be seeing anything he/she hasn't seen before.
