Normal vitals, and they do an internal pelvic to make sure everything is back to normal and all healed. They will also ask and answer questions about mom, baby and the rest of the family.

it might hurt, but it shouldn't. You should be all healed. I had a small tear (two stitches) and it didn't hurt at my six week check up, but sometimes when i'm with my husband it's tender (even hurts sometimes Sad ).

It won't hurt as mich as giving birth!!!It may be slightly more uncomfortable than your pap smear exam.If you are in pain,that is not normal.Tell your doc and have her/him stop.Do not let fear stop you from going.Good luck to you!!Patty
