I had a CS and doctor didn't examine me or anything - took blood pressure, talked about a VBAC (as if i was thinking of having another after 6 weeks) and prescribed the pill - that was about it. Nowt to it!!

I had a section. At my six week check the GP took my blood pressure, looked at my scar, asked me what form of contraception I was planning to use, and that was it.
