For me it was mostly how are you feeling, how are you getting on with feeding, and asked when all the bleeding stopped etc. No physical kind of examination but doctor did say i could go back to exercising when i felt happy to. For baby, he listened to his heart, checked all round his head, he had a small birthmark so a little chat about that, made sure his testicles were both present and correct and in the right position, and checked his eyes and ears.
