I didn’t have a health visitor until baby was around 10 days old, we had community midwife visits x3 in the first week at home x

I live in Stevenage and for me the Midwife came to my house when baby was 5 days old for the 5 day weigh in and then I got a call to tell me when the HV was going to come visit me which was about 2 weeks later. I only had about 2/3 visits from the midwife and 2/3 visits from the health visitor. I had no visits from the health visitor before baby was born
