What the Postnatal Health Check-Up Includes

Our postnatal health check-up combines medical consultation, laboratory testing, and ultrasound imaging to provide a thorough overview of your health following pregnancy.

GP Consultation
Your postnatal health check-up includes a consultation with one of our experienced GPs. This appointment provides an opportunity to discuss your recovery after pregnancy, review your medical history, and address any symptoms or concerns you may be experiencing.
During the consultation, the doctor will assess your overall wellbeing and provide guidance to support your physical recovery and health following childbirth.
Blood Testing
The check-up includes a comprehensive blood test designed to assess key aspects of your health following pregnancy. The analysis evaluates a range of biomarkers related to blood health, kidney and liver function, cholesterol levels, blood sugar, thyroid function, and important nutrients such as iron, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and folate.
These tests can help identify common postnatal concerns, including nutritional deficiencies or hormonal changes.
Transvaginal Ultrasound Scan
A transvaginal ultrasound scan is included as part of the postnatal assessment to examine the uterus and surrounding pelvic structures. This scan allows clinicians to evaluate how the reproductive organs are recovering after childbirth and identify any abnormalities that may require further attention.
Ultrasound imaging provides valuable insight into internal recovery following pregnancy.

When should I have a postnatal health check-up?

Postnatal health check-ups are commonly recommended around 6-8 weeks after childbirth, as this is an important period for assessing how the body is recovering following pregnancy and delivery. However, some women may choose to have a check-up earlier if they are experiencing symptoms or have specific concerns about their recovery.

A postnatal check-up allows clinicians to review your overall health, address any physical or emotional concerns, and ensure that your recovery is progressing as expected.

Why is a postnatal health check-up important?

Pregnancy and childbirth place significant physical demands on the body. A postnatal health check-up helps monitor recovery, identify potential health concerns early, and provide guidance to support your wellbeing.

This assessment can help detect issues such as nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, or inflammation, while also offering reassurance about your recovery after pregnancy.

What does the blood test assess after pregnancy?

The blood tests included in the postnatal health check evaluate a range of health markers, including blood health, kidney and liver function, cholesterol levels, blood sugar control, thyroid function, and important nutrients such as iron, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and folate.

These tests are particularly useful after pregnancy as they can help identify common postnatal concerns such as iron deficiency, fatigue-related deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances.

What is the purpose of the ultrasound scan after childbirth?

The transvaginal ultrasound scan allows clinicians to assess the uterus and surrounding pelvic structures following childbirth. It provides valuable insight into how the reproductive organs are recovering and can help identify any abnormalities that may require further attention.

This imaging can offer reassurance that the uterus and pelvic organs are returning to their normal state after pregnancy.

Do I need a GP consultation as part of the postnatal check-up?

Yes. The GP consultation is an important part of the assessment, allowing you to discuss your recovery, symptoms, and overall wellbeing with a doctor.

During this appointment, your clinician will review the results of your blood tests and ultrasound scan, answer any questions you may have, and provide personalised guidance to support your recovery and ongoing health.
