Health visitor before born

I had this with my first born but not this time around.

I’ve had my first visit and it’s really casual :) they give you the red book for tracking your baby’s development, and give a general overview about what to expect from their post birth visits.

Mainly a check in for your mental health & signposting lots of source of guidance & information on prepping for a newborn xx

I had my visit last week. They said it's a relatively new thing as I don't remember having it with my first child. Was pretty quick though. It was just as you said really, them just introducing themselves.

Yes they tried to book a visit on my last day of work but had to be rescheduled. I never had this in 2022 with my first and I thought the same. But its about having a familiar face before the birth. Apparently its who we see all the way through until they don't have to do anymore home visits. But its all the usual stuff. Checking in on mum and baby
