We will know tomorrow when I get the phone call, lets hope it is really a health visitor.
DH and I are still a bit jumpy and I will be checking regularly on the little one tonight. Can't imagine how will I feel tomorrow at work, I have a deadline and have to go in. It's crazy. Thanks girls for the support, its much appreciated. I will update again tomorrow.
Some paeds departments (in Aussie and nz anyway) have a policy that all ingestions have social worker follow up. They're aware that most of the time there's no issue, I wouldn't take it personally.
You won't have any issues so don't worry about it it will just be a check up and then ur file would be closed any ways so def don't stress about it
I can't believe that there is social work follow up for accidental ingestion. It was perfume and you were right there and knew how much he had. I could be wrong but I am pretty sure that social services wouldn't show up for that here. I don't think I know anyone who has had social services visit them. I wouldn't stress about it much Girlsway especially since it is done for all ingestion. Just make sure your kids are clean, the house is clean, the laundry is done, etc. I am sure they will come and see there is nothing to worry about and move on.
Hey girls sway any news thinking of you xx
Sorry to drop by uninvited, but i saw your worries about tearing. Recently a collegue of mine gave birth to her first and the shoulders kept stuck and they tried a lot of things to get the baby out; legs besides the ears, they put her on hands and knees, and eventually broke the subclavian of the baby to pul him out.Quote:

bigwish thanks for the link, been having a look and it looks like something i might invest in. Anything is worth giving a go so i dont tear, Thank you :D
Girlsway hopeyour little one is doing ok today and i also hope the health visitor visit goes ok if they end up coming. I hate it when they come round, they always seem so intrusive and ask stupid questions.
health vistor home visit when ds1 was a week old those fireplaces could be dangerous.....yeah probably not to a one week old who can't move thou!
UGH surely there must be better things they could do with thier time!
You would think! I see real homes that they REALLY should be visiting! Omg my friend who lives 10 hours away from me has a friend and she got in a domestic dispute and he punched her in the face so she hit him and ran to call the cops... Well social services took the kids away from her and gave them to him! This happen like 3-4 months ago she gets to see her kids once a month ... She has a court date at the end of this month finally but how does this happen! The visits where she sees the kids there is a social worker watching and sitting in and the kids have both said during visits that their dad is hitting them and they come hungry and dirty! And they do nothing! This is the only horror story that I know of and it sickens me cause the kids should be with their mother cause she is a good mom and was only protecting herself!
How's everyone feeling here? Anybody got heartburn, mine is really kicking in the last few days. Only 1 whole day till my scan!!
