Antenatal visit
The health visitor’s role starts during pregnancy and continues to offer support through the first few weeks after the birth, and all the way through until early childhood.
All health visitors are nurses or midwives with specialist training in family and community health. They work with parents and their families to improve health and wellbeing.
26 to 32 weeks visit
Why does the health visitor see you during pregnancy? The health visitor sees you to:
- Introduce the 0 to 19 Health Visitor and School Health Service, and tell you about the visits you will be offered
- Help us get to know you and you to know us
- Begin the baby’s 0 to 19 health record
- Help you get to know your baby during your pregnancy, and after your baby arrives.
