You know I haven't had a MCHN come visit me since having my eldest. I just told them I wasnt interested and I was still seeing my midwife at home til 6 weeks so if i had a issue I would speak to her.
After the experience I had with my eldest I wasnt keen at all... They came out when she was 2 weeks old and I had JUST gotten her to sleep after a horrible horrible night and she wanted me to wake her and move her so she could weigh her, even though my notes said she was weighed the day before by the midwife. So i refused, she then rang my midwife and said she was concerned about my parenting due to my lack of interest to interact with my child... My midwife was floored, told her she thought I was doing a great job and there was no issues.

I dont plan on having them come here either after this bubs birth.



Had my 20 week scan on Tuesday and a midwife app at home today.. such bliss having them come to me. BP unfort seems to be creeping up but i have had a stressful few days due to exh and custody of kids so hopefully that's just it. Been told to rest and relax. Nest app is in 4 weeks, and going to have that one at the birthing unit so DH can have a squiz at our JIC place
Gave my midwife my info on having your placenta done and she was excited, couldn't wait to show it at their next group meeting!! They are super cool laid back ladies, I love knowing they are my birth people!!!
