Health visitor trying to push me to go to baby groups!

I have recently given birth to my son (hes 11 weeks old). And since the health visitor took over, shes been trying to push me into attending the children centre. To the point of getting me a family support practitioner, and booking me in for classes, that I didn't ask to be put in. Its really the only thing she talks about when she visits and the pressure is really starting to give me anxiety. I'm already starting to loose hair?? Which I'm putting down to stress, but this defo isn't helping. I've even spoken to my GP about it who says I don't have to attend. I never went when I had my daughter and she turned out just fine. I just don't like people. And I feel like I'm being forced into a situation I don't want to be in, just so the children centre can get their numbers up. I already have mummy friends and 11 week old babies aren't really interested in other babies. Well mine isn't at least. Had anyone else had this problem? I just want the health visitor to concentrate on the baby and drop the subject.

@MamaFlintstone she started going on about the mum going to the children's centre and groups. Mum said she wasn't sure. Dad got very distressed. She didn't drop it and de escalate oh no she went on and on and said 'I can walk you over' until dad properly lost his shit. Very dangerous unprofessional and unfair on all involved

I love going to baby groups in Children Centres, but I started going when DD was around 6 months and could sit up. I don't see the point in taking an 11mo baby to a baby group tbh
