Hi I gave birth 6 weeks ago and while I was booking my 6 weeks postnatal check I was told that the appointment was booked with a nurse instead of GP. I was told they don't do it with GP anymore.
I had my son 3 years ago I remember having the check with GP.
I don't see much point of seeing a nurse. I had emergency cesarean, I was consultant led during pregnancy due to thyroid. I am considering not attending the appointment with the nurse and to book normal appointment with GP instead. Has anyone else also had the postnatal check with nurse and what was discussed and what the nurse was able to check?
I am just wondering whether that appointment is a complete waste of time?
Thanks

No more postnatal check for a mother with a GP? With nurse instead?
