Injections!!

[Angelica]

OMG I just read on Mrs N's swimming thread that someones LO had injections at 8 weeks... My LO is 9 weeks on thurs & hasnt had any yet...

Do u have to be proactive about these or does GP write to u??

I'm not sure, it might depend on what area you are in. Hannah has her 2 month injections this Thursday, our pediatrician scheduled it, but we've seen her quite often since Hannah was born

Don't worry... my 6-week postnatal check is not til 1st October by which time Morgan will be 11 weeks old!!!! And I was very, very ill after labour and was supposed to be monitored closely for some weeks... never happened!! I had to see the GP to ask about the BCP a couple of weeks ago, and ended up on meds for high BP (it was 152/105!!!!) The flamin' surgery cancelled my appointment THREE times!!!!

Sorry.... I digress....!!!

With regard to the OP's question, here in Birmingham, I got a letter from the PCT when Morgan was about 5 weeks old, "inviting" me to make an appointment at my GP surgery for the injections for when she was 8 weeks old. But it does vary from area to area... I would call your HV or GP surgery for advice ASAP!
