I had the most lovely health visitor (Amy) that supported me and guided me from being a scared 19 year old into a confident 21 year old mum.
I could pick up the phone anytime I needed for any questions I had. My health visitor practically became part of the family, I don’t know how I would’ve coped without her. It was always very reassuring to have a professional there to help through all the different milestones from antenatal to birth and birth to 2 years old!
I definitely would recommend this service to anyone who feels they need a little (or a lot!) of extra support and a friend who knows exactly what you’re going through.
My nurse also helped me with things like referrals (surestart and housing ect), my mental health and habits to make sure I was looking after me too.
I have so many memory things too of all the milestones we wrote down which I probably wouldn’t have thought to have done if I didn’t have her!
I’m forever grateful for every ounce of support I received
"The amazing support I got over the last 2 years"
