Anyone else on the Family Nurse Partnership?

Anyone? I've been on it since I found out that I was pregnant (when it was still the pilot scheme), and hoping to get transferred onto the Manchester scheme when I move.

For anyone who doesn't know what it is.. It provides support for younger mums. My HV/Family Nurse comes round to my house every couple of weeks or so, just to chat, find out how I'm getting on, talk through different things, give information. From what I've read on here, most people seem to dislike their HVs, but I've built up a really good, strong relationship with mine because of this scheme, and it means that we can just have a chat when she comes.

I was on it for the first months of my sons life , only because I was so effected by having a c-section (depression) and they helped allot

Hopefully, more people will start benefiting from it soon.
