I'm Currently Feeling:  | In the UK, the midwife comes out after baba is born then between 10-14days the health vistor comes and weighs baba and answers any questions you have etc. And just helps support you basically  XxxX |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | No ones mentionned seeing the health visiter before the birth, only after. The midwife only came to see me twice-because she wanted to check my bp more that week when it went up a bit. She didnt check the nursery or anything, just came to see me!

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Maybe chester is trial running it or soemthing. I don't get to meet mine until after the birth as far as i'm aware. It would be nice to meet her first though actaully, get her to check things over etc then at least i know i'm prepared! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Very cool! 
Nobody comes to your house over here before the birth,the neo-natal nurse comes over when the baby is about 1-2 weeks,checks on the baby and how things are going...wether you're struggling with PND.Probably much like your health visitor! |
