My Two Week Post Partum Check Up

Yesterday was my two week post partum Check up :)

BP: Good
Weight: AWESOME!!!
Incision: Looks good!

Dr G. was very happy with me. He said my uterus was shrinking back into shape "wonderfully", according to my chart I've lost ALL my pregnancy weight - according to mine I have 8lbs to go! :) The steri-strips covering my incision need to stay on one more week then I can take them off. I'm pretty much at the point that I only take my pain meds in the morning when I wake up and at night when I go to bed (due mostly to pelvic pain which is going to take a while to go away).

We also discussed birthcontrol options. He recommended while breast feeding either condoms or an asprin. The asprin is to be held between the knees and don't let go ;) Dr G also said we would discuss other birthcontrol options the further out from delivery we go. (like my 6wk appointment)

Either way, I'm very happy with my appointment - but I'll be even happier next week when I can take the steri strips off :)
