UK mums health visitor visit before birth?

Question

I have a health visitor appointment today at my home. All she has said its to meet me and my husband before the baby is born, was just wondering if anyone knows what all she will do or ask?

Answer

They are really nice, I had mine weeks ago, they literally introduce themselves and are there as support for you and your partner and just to over see, they will help you with any questions you have after becoming parents and also looks for signs that you're not overwhelmed, they like to make sure you have support from loved ones etc or even if you're going it alone they will act as your 'supportive loved one' to help when you need it. 👍 xx
And no they dont care about what state your house is in if you're wondering like I was 🤣 they just want to make sure you're coping and everyone is doing ok...expect to see them about 6 days after giving birth.

Answer

They give you a LOT of leaflets haha. Check you’re happy with the pregnancy and life in general. Ask about any history of depression, drug and alcohol abuse etc. They will also want to speak to you on your own without your husband, to ask how supported you feel and ask if you’re treated well by your husband. 
A bunch of awkward questions that they have to ask and then just chatting about safe sleeping guidelines and other things you need to know! I got a visit for my first and just had a telephone one for my second.
Oh and they also give you a red book that you’ll need to take in hospital with you and to all your appts. Your child’s medical records basically!

Answer

I had a home visit at 36 weeks and she just went over my usual checks (urine, blood pressure, monitored baby) and asked about what kind of birth I would like. She went over pain relief options and what signs to look out for. I cleaned the whole house like a mad woman thinking she would go looking round at sleeping arrangements etc but she didn’t leave the living room.

Answer

I had one a few weeks ago she was really nice but she did annoy me a bit😂
This is baby #4 for us and a couple of times she was slightly patronizing so i was glad to see the back of her lol
But i do think its good they check where babies will be going home to its a luxury alot of babies don't have
