A Specialist Public Health Nurse who specialises in Health Visiting, will receive information about your pregnancy from your midwife. For your first baby you will be visited at your home (between 28 and 32 weeks of pregnancy) and we will discuss the support we can offer you.

Following your visit we have all the links below to the electronic information your health visitor has shared with you. You can also find lots of information on this website in the pregnancy to birth section to support you and your partner in pregnancy and beyond. You can download our antenatal information by clicking on the image.
