Postnatal checks

Posting here for traffic....

I'm due my 5 day postnatal check soon, I've just given birth via c section and obviously in pain, the hospital is 45 mins drive away and I've been asked to go in to the hospital for the 5 day check for an early time appointment. I really don't feel up to going, it's a few days away but just doesn't seem right that I'm expected to do go there for it, I thought these checks were carried out at the patient's home? I've had the day 3 home visit. Is it because they're short staffed?
Not sure if I'm being precious about it or not really...

Just call and request a visit. If you're not well enough you're not well enough .

We'd come out to visit you. We only do this on Sundays when we're very low on staff but usually make exceptions for sections.

I'd be interested to hear how you get on if you get a chance to update.
