C section check up ?
Hi everyone, I had a c section 11 weeks ago tomorrow and I was going to book a personal trainer to ease me back into weight lifting but she said that with c section clients they need to have had their twelve week post surgery checkup. I’ve never heard of this, should I be having a check up??

My baby and I were checked up by the gp at 8 weeks. I’d maybe call them x
I had a 6 week check but I’m confused whether there’s another one x
But the six week one they didn’t look at my belly just asked how I was mentally x
That doesn’t exist on nhs. The 6-8 week check with the gp usually includes examining your scar. If your gp didn’t do it, you can go back and ask for that specifically and explain you want to start weight lifting.

Doctors call you and baby in for a check up around this time regardless of c section… they didn’t check my scar or anything just general well being xx
