Antenatal visits

Health visitors work in partnership with midwives and aim to visit you after the 28th week of pregnancy. This will allow you to discuss your pregnancy, your health and well-being your ideas about your baby, and plans for after your baby is born.

Health visitors will introduce to you the Healthy Child Programme and tell you about your local services and family centres/hubs.

At this contact, Health Visitors can give you information about how you can keep you and your baby safe and well, including information about diet, vitamin supplements, smoking cessation, maternal mental health, and baby’s sleeping position. They will also discuss the benefits of breastfeeding, helping you prepare, and have an informed choice, in feeding your baby.
