I went for my 6 weeks postpartum obstetric check-up under the impression it’s a fairly comprehensive check (mental health check, physical, Pap smear, contraception chat etc)
I was in there for less than 5 minutes. I was told when I brought up needing a blood test to recheck my iron levels, to go to my GP. When I asked about contraception it was the same response. The Dr took my blood pressure, looked at my wound (emergency c-sec) and told me to get some rest, in the same breath as stating I have no signs of low iron, even though I told them I was bone-tired.
I left the appointment feeling very brushed off, underwhelmed and frustrated that I have to make an appointment with my GP to have the care that I believe, should have been provided through my OB.
