Do you find your health visitor helpful?

Question

have you ever had any real help from them in times of crisis or do you find them very condesending? uk only please

Answer 1

My first health visitor was useless and always sticking her nose in when she really didn't need to, so I changed her and got a new one and I like her a lot more.

Answer 2

My health visitor was useless and has remained that way, she would always try and push her thought onto me. How i feed my baby wasn't right because it wasn't what she would do etc... The few times she did visit she was late or didn't turn up at all and i'd have to phone asking where she was. I was so much more comfortable with my midwife, its a shame that after the first week you never seem them again, they share the best moments of pregnancy with you and simply dissappear :(

Answer 3

My Health Visitor was the best, so kind, caring and understanding. She helped me with all aspects of my life when my baby was born.
