DS is 6 weeks old and only seen the HV once, 10 days after he was born. She was a stand in as my HV called in sick that day, this was a Friday and she said someone would call to make an appointment to see us the following week.
A full week went by and no phone call, I called them and asked for an appointment and my regular HV asked me to Come to her in the clinic, I explained I had a c section and can't drive, she asked about public transport but the clinics not on my bus route and would be tricky even if it was with a toddler and newborn, and a taxi would cost £14 there and back. She said all home visits were booked up for two weeks so got me into the soonest one.
She called the day before that, cancelled and rearranged for 9am today. It's now 10am and still no visit and not heard from her.
Do I call asking what's going on or is that unreasonable?
I know my baby's gaining weight just by looking at him and he's feeding fine so I'm not concerned about him, my concern is for all she knows he could be ill or underweight. I just think no wonder terrible things happen and go unnoticed when you can't even manage to see anyone?
Plus DS1 is getting cranky as it's nap time and I don't want to put him down and have her turn up just as I'm settling him as it can take half an hour or more to get him down, which isn't helping my mood lol
