If you had any complications or conditions while you were pregnant, you may want to see a doctor for follow-up care. For example, if you had preeclampsia, a primary care doctor will want to keep track of your blood pressure. If you had gestational diabetes, they’ll want to keep track of your blood sugar. In each of those cases, they would work with you to schedule when you should come in for follow-up visits.
