It depends really, normally 3 and discharge on day 10 and then health visitor if you like can take over from around day 12 I think, I stay under the midwives care for 28 days and have done with both of my children. If you feel like you’d want to be alone for the visits then do so it’s important to be able to talk and if you feel like you’re more able to do that without your partner then do that x
I had 3. Midwife came the day after I left Hospital, again on day 5 and then day 10. Baby’s weight was back to birth weight at that point and I had no issues so she discharged us and then health visitor took over and came on day 14. I think you should ask your partner not to be present if that’s what you want. My partner was present but there were a few questions regarding baby blues and my mood which I would have liked to speak about more privately. He went to do a nappy change midway through appointment though which gave me a chance to chat to her. The appointment is for you and baby so make sure you get what you want and need from it
I just had 2 midwife ones. One at 5 days and one at 14 days. I was discharge after that. My husband came to the first one but not the second one. X
