Red book? I don't have a book. It's all on the app

@Lucy I got it along with my mat form xx

Red books are usually for the baby, after theyre born? Do u have a pic to see if its same thing?

@Lisa no I can take a photo at some point to show you it’s deffo the red book 😂😂

Im sure that’ll be babies book but weird they’ve given it to you now. Normally that’s given by midwife or health visitor when they first visit you after birth x

@Samantha yeah it’s baby’s book I know I was just wondering if I would need to take it but I will just incase x

No - red books are for once baby is here. Usually given at the hospital but every area/trust is different. Nothing to record in it until baby has arrived.

Usually given after birth in hospital but no you don't need it at your midwife appointments. Do take it to hospital when you're in labour though

I got mine at my 20wk scan but I believe it's just for when baby is born, all their appointments etc.

@Rebecca take a pic of you can! The only red book I have was from my 1st son after he was born

@Lucy yeah I will deffo x

I didn’t get the red book until baby was here last time, I’ve never heard of it being given at 20 weeks but never say never maybe it’s a new thing!
