5 day baby check

Has anyone ever had the community midwife not turn up for the 5 days baby check ?? On Monday when the midwife came out she said someone will be out on Thursday to do 5 days checks, I have waited all day and nobody has turned up, I have tried to ring the 2 numbers I have for them but I don't get any answers. I don't wanna have to spend another day stuck inside tomorrow on the off chance that somebody might come out. What do I do ?

Usually the 5 day check is done in clinic… did they write any appointments in back of red book or if you have an online thing… it’s usual for mw to not turn up. I would call the hospital xx

@Holly she said someone will be out on Thursday Halloween to drop 5 day check. Nope she didn't write anything down an nothing on my online thing either. She just said it will be between 9-5 x

Honestly this used to drive me mad (had 2 kids) midwives/Health visitor just turn up whenever they want it seems, I got sick of waiting around for them and continued to live my life 😂 don't wait in. They have your number 🤷

My 5 day check was in the clinic! 10 day one too. Maybe pop by if it’s not too far? Xx

Try ringing again tomorrow both of the numbers as all of my midwife and then health visitor visits were at my house. If they don’t answer again just go about your day like someone said they have your number x

My checks were done at home. I think day 5 the do the blood spot test right. Maybe wait another day and see if they turn up, maybe try contacting the health visitor if you already have Thier number or GP
