6 week post partum appointment

So I am just wondering what the doctor will do at 6 week appointment after baby.  How do they know if you are fine to have sex? What do they all do?

It's like a yearly physical exam. They check you out down there, ask about mental health, answer any questions, if you had stiches look at those. It's pretty simple. As far as sex if your not sore or in pain they will clear you. I know people who didn't wait the six weeks and we're fine.

They would check how you're healing, ask behavioral questions...I think that's it. Trust me you will know when you're ready for sex
