Etterkontroll - Oppfølging av mor etter fødsel

six-week check-up

Postpartum follow-up for mothers

Around 6–8 weeks after birth, a follow-up consultation is recommended for the mother, often called the “six-week check-up” or “postnatal check-up.”

At Min Fødsel we offer this service, where you can talk about topics such as:

The birth experience
Vaginal bleeding and recovery
Any discomfort in the pelvic area
Exercise / pelvic floor training
Sleep
Sexual health and intimacy
Breastfeeding
Life as a new mother
Maternal mental health
Contraception and contraceptive counseling. You can receive information and we can discuss which option is right for you, so that you can make an informed choice.
Insertion of an IUD / contraceptive implant / or prescription for birth control pills.

We offer all types of long-acting contraceptives at our clinic.

Before inserting an IUD, we recommend waiting at least 8 weeks after a vaginal birth and 12 weeks after a cesarean section.
The contraceptive implant can be inserted as early as 3 weeks after birth.

We can also check your hemoglobin levels and blood pressure. If you had stitches after birth, the midwife can make sure that the tear has healed properly.

We set aside a full hour for this follow-up. If you need more time, please let us know when booking. It is also helpful if you can tell us in advance which contraceptive method you are considering.
