6 week postpartum exams

I have witnessed one of these, and it was without question, THE most thorough exam I have ever seen or heard of. Everything seemed to be checked, in enormous detail, with a heavy emphasis on the breasts and genitals too.

Also, fully undressed pretty much from beginning to the very end.

Does anyone else have any experiences like this they would like to share?

Went with my best friend for all her postpartum exams. Yes of course they are pretty detailed and very complete. However so were her first prenatal exams. Her postpartum breast exams were quite extensive as she was always nursing.

Thanks very much for that tami, would certainly like to hear more about your friends postpartum exams!

Thorough? Yes. Erotic? NO.

The doctor paid a lot of attention to my weight, which he thought was low, BP, and the pelvic region because I had delivered a rather large baby and required a 3-way episiotomy. Lots of sutures.

He asked a lot of questions about breast health and how nursing was going but didn't do an exam. He didn't say so, but I think he was trying to avoid stimulating the let-down reflex. Thank goodness for that. I remember saying to him "You know when your milk has come in when you're drying off from the shower and your feet get wet." I wasn't joking.

I remember that the doctor remarked that I was the calmest new mother he'd ever seen. I told him that was because I had the calmest baby on the planet.

If I recall, my mother drove me to the appointment and stayed in the waiting room with the baby. I was forbidden to drive until after the post-partum check up but I drove home.

My prenatal exam seem to be more detailed than the postpartum exam.

A postnatal exam got me started many years ago into medical play. Would have to agree it's right up there with the most thorough exams I've seen

I was very close friends with a girl who got into a situation getting pregnant out of wedlock...and the father basically vanished. We were not dating and at that point there was no sexual relationship...but I used to help her out a lot and stayed at her apartment on numerous occasions especially after the baby arrived

I was 20, she was 19 at the time...and though I knew the basics of a gyno exam I was no where near as enlightened as I am today of course. She had asked me to take her to her 6 week doctor appointment and watch the baby....I of course said yes but at that point it was not out of a desire to be at the exam.

So at that time it wasn't the norm to have a man in the exam room...but she told the nurse I was going back with her and the baby....so I followed along.I suspect both the nurse, and later the doctor assumed I was the father. At any rate the nurse took her vitals...told her to undress and get into the gown..left a urine sample cup...etc. I had seen her undress at night before but the whole getting into an exam gown was a new thing for me...quite exciting...and she was a very petite girl so even after having the baby she had a very nice body. So she strips naked, gets in the gown and giggled a bit about peeing in a cup. She comes out and gets up on the table...and at this point my hormones are getting in gear even though me sitting there holding the baby and watching this unfold was also a bit awkward

The doctor comes in and proceeds right away to go over a number of questions and perform a few basics...then had her drop the top down for a quick seated breast exam...then he layed her down and did a very thorough exam. I didn't know at the time but he was spending more time with her checking for blocked milk ducts. They use a bit more sheet and gown back then but I could still see what was going on. Her proceeded to give her a very thorough abdominal exam and then they put her in stirrups. The irony back then was aside from all the drapes when it came to the pelvic they got her in position, pulled the drape completely back and move the stirrups to a very wide position...not a lot of concern for her comfort at all.

His first order of business was the episiotomy scar which had healed fine...she had a small baby. Then straight away to the speculum for a pap and a couple other slides. He spent a bit more time than usual turning the speculum to view internally. On the the internal...he commented during the exam about her cervix consistency and spent more time than usual manipulating her uterus to ensure it has returned to normal size. He did a rectovaginal...which I found out later was her first...and asked her about her period returning...hemmorhoids..and so on. Mainly there was a lot more time spent examining the cervix, uterus, etc than with a typical annual.There was not a lot of questions about postpartum depresion like you would hear today...no long speaches about birth control..and he told her she could start having sex again.

So by this time I'm ready to explode...we went home...put the baby to bed...and ended up in her bed. We discussed the whole gyno exam world...I had my first crack at feeling a cervix...uterus..and so on...no sex that day but she gave me a blowjob and we talked about playing doctor again. Ended up with her being my first official play patient and I got quite experienced giving her a complete physical..I also gained a lot of confidence with the speculum ....and they wer not readily available back then...we stole one at another doctor visit.

All in all I have a very thorough postpartum exam to thank for introducing me into the medical play world

Greg, that was a fantastic story. Thanks for writing it and sharing it with us. Karma for you.

Ahh postnatal exams...really my favorite! Haha! I've had 2 soon to be 3 of them. Really they are just pretty much the same as a regular gyne exam just a bit more concentrated to be sure everything moved back into its right place/position. My doc does a very thorough breast exam as well to make sure the milk ducts and everything are fine. I usually complain to him how bad my armpits hurt because they were swollen a bit around that time while letting my milk dry up.

I don't think that exam is uncomfortable...if you want uncomfortable, try asking a woman who has had a c-section what the nurses do to your uterus every hour or so afterwards before they change your pad! They like to come in and push on it to make sure there are no clots forming! I can tell you that's not a pleasant experience at all! EEEEIIIIIIIIKKK!!!

They don't do that just on C-section patients, everyone gets that special blessing, although I!m sure it's considerably more unpleasant on a lady that's been unzipped.

There are some beautiful moments in childbirth, and plenty that aren't so pretty.
