My baby was born at the very start of lockdown and is now just coming up to 5 months old. He was born big, on the 95th centile and because of this was put on a 'healthy weight' pathway which means he was supposed to be weighed more than usual. I was told that this is because big babies weigh tends can fluctuate more than usual, so they're monitored more.
I haven't heard anything from them, despite trying to contact them about it. Its like the service has dried up. I did get through to someone once who told me they'd get back to me. Nobody did. My baby hasn't been checked since 6 weeks. Im annoyed about it. Im annoyed that I was told that my baby would need extra monitoring and then hasnt got anything. Im annoyed at the lack of communication about it.
Im in the Portsmouth area. Does anyone else live here and have had contact with their HV team? What are the HV services like in other areas around the UK? Is Portsmouth just woefully inadequate, or does this sound similar to other areas?
