"Postnatal check up"

Although I felt the gp was supportive in my check up I was allocated a male for my post partum check up. I was unaware even though I was given the name I didn't realise this was a male. I felt (through no fault of the gp) unable to be as open re my vaginal birth and recovery with him and wanted to have my stitches checked but was unable to. I feel all 6 week pp check ups should automatically be allocated a female doctor.
