HI, i know it's been a while since you posted this question, maybe things have improved. but I think her husband ought to be speaking to the health visitor about this. Or maybe if you speak to him and agree what needs to be done. Isn't the Health Visitor coming anyway? She should have been making some visits on a regular basis initially for the first two/three weeks at least?
my friend has a 4 week old baby and has locked herelf in her house she wont talk to anybody. she suffers with depression anyway even before falling pregnant. her husband is really worried about her too, i dont know what to do i have tried to talk to her i even moved house and area to be with her to help she is and only child and she hasnt spoken to her own mum for years.
i was going to talk top the health visitor locally but not sure where to start really because i dont want my friend to think i am going behind her back
help!!!
