My son a 33 weeker for lack of a better term just "failed" his one year check even though I made them wait till one year corrected. He did brilliantly on everything except gross motor and needed a refferal but the health visitor explained this could take months and advised contacting the neonatal drs that discharged him in april from there developmental clinic. I went straight to my gp to find out the name of who he used to see so my gp faxed a letter over and I rang up on gps advice and when ringing the number I found that it went through to the neonatal unit thinking I was in the wrong place I explained my situation and was reasured that health visitors often dont know enough about prems and got me an appointment in a weeks time with a consultant and I basicley was just thinking how lovely it is to be so supported by them a year on and how lucky I am really
