Good on you for taking the step away from your parents. It won't be easy but you sound like your a strong woman and I'm sure you can do this on your own if that's what you want. The MCHN is the maternal and child health nurse. When you have your baby the hospital will hook you up with a MCHN who you see every few weeks to weigh and measure bubs and answer any questions you have. They also have a hotline you can call 24 hours and will organise a mothers group for you. My MCHN also did talks for 6 weeks on different things like settling, babies first foods, child safety etc.

Good luck hun, I wish you all the best
