What is involved in a health visit, I have one coming out (which is my first) to my home tomorrow. I know they ask you questions but what sort - are they all just health related or??
All went well, got lots of handy information and advice, she answered lots of my questions, talked to me about how I was feeling and a little bit about my health, and went through babies red health book. For some reason I spring/deep cleaned the whole house yesterday and this morning (I mean I do it anyway - nesting and all that) but I didn't know if they were gonna look around the house - which they didn't 😅 thanks for your help girls!! Xx
It’s just a chat, mine didn’t look around the house at all, just came in the lounge. Asked if breast or bottle feeding, gave info on SIDS, asked if we smoke or any family smoke, asked about mental health issues and just introduced themselves as they come after baby is born too. Gave loads of leaflets too xx
Just literally a friendly chat to introduce themselves to you and tell you what they do and what to expect, like the hearing test, heel prick test etc. They may go through bottle feeding procedure if that's what you've choose, when they come, any groups in the area, all that kinda stuff.
They come to see what baby's home environment is like, how you are in yourself etc
It's basically just a meet and greet so some random stranger doesn't just show up after birth lol
Mine came out two weeks ago
