Who is this appointment for?
A postnatal assessment its advised for all postnatal mums after 6 weeks.
You can have had a vaginal or abdominal birth and those who have had a cesarean section can still experience pelvic floor dysfunction, so it is still relevant to conduct an internal assessment for a thorough assessment.
It is never too late to have a post natal assessment and if you want to have one later after birth we can conduct an overall assessment at any point. However if you have a specific issue in mind, it may be better to have a women's health assessment focussed on that.
