1 Week Postpartum Check-up

Since the midwife in the Women's Clinic that I go to delivered Collyn, I did my follow-up checkup with her. Last time, my doctor waited until 4 weeks postpartum to see me. She wanted to see me one week after.

The appointment went really smooth. Lyndon was going to watch Alden for me while I went, but something came up at work and he wasn't able to. His mom was close by so she watched Alden for me and I took Collyn with me.

She asked me normal questions. Everything seems to be going good. I scheduled my appointment to get an IUD. I've never been on birth control before. (Obviously, I have 2 kids and have been married 3 years) I wanted something that was hormone free and no pill because I don't like to mess with natural hormones and I am still terrible at taking vitamins. I can't imagine me trying to remember a birth control pill. That appointment is in 5 weeks with my regular doctor.

I am down 18 pounds from when I gave birth. I still have quite a bit to go to even get close to my pre-pregnancy weight. I will be satisfied being at 125-130 pounds, knowing this is my second baby and its harder to lose the weight.

I'm definitely feeling much better this time around than with Alden.
