Health visitor

Hi! I had mine come round a few weeks ago, she didn't look at the house at all, just sat with me in the lounge and asked if we've got a car seat sorted and know about safe sleep etc, if we smoke, basics.. it was quite a quick visit tbh xx

Had ours come a couple of weeks ago, literally just chatted to us about how we were feeling, whether we felt ready, how I was doing mentally, mentioned some bits about smoking and safe sleep and played with our dog for a bit😂 was a very laid back visit

I stressed so much to make sure that the house was as sorted as possible, because we’ve been renovating too but she didn’t even look. Straight in to the lounge and was a really nice visit. Didn’t need to stress at all!

i wouldn’t worry about baby proofing a house for a newborn, just make sure your cot placement is good (not next to the radiator or by a window), the house is generally clean and tidy, not expecting you to have everything spotless but just polite to clean up if you have people coming over. they’ll talk to you about how you’re feeling and answer any questions you have. i didn’t have a health visitor come until afterwards so not sure if it’s the same

Thanks everyone, it was really straightforward as everyone said, she just came into the living room and chatted with us. We’re having renovations done so I was a bit paranoid she’d say something but she didn’t even mention it
