What other health checks should be expected?

[LuckySalem]

My DD is 5 months old.

When will the HV/GP need to do more checks with her? Will they want to do behaviour/development checks etc?

Don't worry pagwatch I know that. that's why i've stopped going so much now cos they're there. If babyclub wasn't run by HV's i'd be going every week again.

Pagwatch, I prob wouldn't go if I wasn't so paranoid about his weight gain, oh and the fact that it gets me out of house for an hour.
I enjoy seeing over mums and having a chat, I enjoy the walk there, but mostly ignore the advice after I've spent a week fretting about what they've said against what I want to do.
My actual Hv is really nice but this other clinic is on the way to the high street so is just more convenient

Over mums or other mums? No more wine for me then!

ahh LBB
you need to take your i-pod

Yeah, probably

Right thanks for everything I'm gonna grin and bear tomorrow.
Not talk to them except hello and when's the development checks and then hope they leave me alone.

Good for you. It'll be fine. Logging off now, dh has gone for a shower so gonna catch up on my grey's anatomy dvd befor he comes down and puts big brother on or some other crap like that!

ARGH BB - I don't really like it anymore but I must remember to tape it tonight cos its the wedding one and I just wanna see if they actually went through with it?! lol

Hi Lucky, are you around? How'd it go at the baby clinic?

I chickened out i'm just a wuss and didn't want the hassle.

I rang instead (got enough of a talking to from that) I just have an 8 month check

Ok. Nothing wrong with that. You found out what you wanted to know with minimum upset then.

Yeh - I rang and got asked why I wasn't coming to babyclub and I said I didn't feel comfortable there and preferred to spend the day at my mums and although she didn't specifically say it, it felt like she was telling me I was being mean to DD for not going.
I'm just glad she didn't ask about solids.

Just ignore her. I take my ds to his grandparents as often as I can as I remember being a kid and it was just a big drag, so he can have family now and friends later. At 5months old, what is she actually missin that she can't get anywhere else? Maybe you sould look for a new baby club?

Yeh I should but this is the only one I know of. There is one on a weds morning but its DP's day off so we always do stuff together then.

Yeah I don't go to our local baby club which is a tues as dp is off then too so we try do things just us.
Next time you go ask the other mums if they go anywhere else. I've been 2 3 or 4 different places and see the same mums everywhere

Will do.
Thanks for all this LBB
