Hi girls, just a quick question.. Midwife just turned up unannounced.. We are visiting relatives shortly so I said she'd have to come back.. What is it they do at day 5 visit?? She said heel prick and weight but it would take 40 minutes?? Do they do the whole full body check again??since the whole hip thing i really do want her pulled around again.. Just wandering as I know the hv will want to do it all again when she comes next week!!

My yellow bean turned out to be a girl! born at exactly 36 weeks on January 2nd.

Embeth at our 5 day check (done on day 6 for us) she did the heel prick test, weight check and just asked questions about how often baby feeds etc, how you are feeling and coping. Mainly just the midwife form filling but it did take about 40 mins.


Congratulations Rachel!

Glad he apologized donna! Men can be quite dumb at times!

Congrats Rachel and julesjules!

I've been up since 330am battling ds1 back to sleep. My husband took over for about half an hour while I fed Benjamin. Now we're both out in the living room and everyone is asleep but me.

Hope u manage to catch up on some sleep mushy, sounds rough these early days can be so exhausting xx

I thought the heel prick had to be done on day 5 that's what they told me I was only there about 15 mins they didn't weigh him on day 5 X

Here he is 18 days old X

Been more of a stalker on here but looks like I no longer having a Jan baby (due date was 24th), but happy to see so many lovely new babies over the last month. I feel so far behind you all

I am so excited to meet my baby but part of me is too tired to go into labour- especially by evening. I guess the contractions will liven me up

gongrats to all the lovely new babies. xxxx
