Health visitor home visit second baby

Hi! I have the HV coming tomorrow, to my home to give me the red book and introduce themselves. I’m 36w and this is my second baby, first is 18 months. I never had this before- it seems a bit odd. Anyone know why they are coming? No safeguarding issues or anything social- just seems random and pointless 🤣

They did this with me also it's a new thing they do they also wanted to nosey at where baby will sleep mine just chatted about antenatal classes etc xx

We had a zoom call with ours, second baby for us too. Felt completely pointless tbh!

I’ve got mine on Thursday God knows why she’s even comin tbh, I don’t see the point it’s not like it’s the first and we don’t know what we’re doing x

I haven’t heard anything about a visit yet although my midwife mentioned it would happen! How much notice did they give you before the appointment? Nervous someone will just turn up on the doorstep and I won’t have a chance to tidy 😅😂

@Jules this literally happened to me yesterday! Me and my little one just got out the bath and she was at my door, no phone call/ text or email to say I was expecting one to come😩😂😂 luckily I’d had a tidy around in the morning and she was lovely so x

@Jai oh no so it really does happen!! Luckily we’ve got friends coming over this evening so I’m about to do a big tidy meaning I’ll be ready for any unexpected visitors 😂😂 the house isn’t awful at all to be fair, just I’d make an extra effort if I knew somebody was coming x

@Jai no way!! That’s an absolute joke! x

@Jules mine rang me last week she’s coming tomorrow x

@Mariya ah okay that’s good to know! Thank you! How many weeks are you? X

I've never had this, I'm in Cornwall. I got given their red book in the hospital and met my HV at the 5 day check
