    Hi

    Just wondered if anyone knows if you have an 8 month check, I am sure that I had this mentioned at some point but my lo is 8 months tomorrow and I have heard nothing from HV's so not sure if I have imagined it (sorry I am still sleep deprived and only have a tiny bit of brain functioning!)
    I don't see hv very often as Maddie puts on weight well and clinic is on the day she goes to nursery.
    Has anyone heard of this or had one?
    If they do it what do they look at?

    Oh poo!
    I have now remembered who told me it was a hv, I phoned to see if I could go to another clinic but that one was also on the day lo goes to nursery (she only goes 1 morning and 1 afternoon a week), hv said not to worry getting weighed for a bit as would have 8 month check.
    Bloody typical!

    It does seem that the treatment you receive ie/ scans, birthing classes and checks for lo's really is a postcode lottery.
