So I have just had a letter through to say the Health Visitor wants to visit on the 12th March and I will be 30 weeks by then hence posting here.
I'm worried because I have 2 dogs that can get a little hyperactive when anyone comes to the door, they are not vicious they just like to say hello! and they do it quite vocally, they calm down after about 10 minutes and will just go and curl up.
I don't want the Health Visitor to be to alarmed by them because after 10 minutes they will slink off and lay down calm as anything.
I have heard some bad things about health visitors and dogs and I don't want her to think badly of them or me, I am by no means stupid enough to leave them alone with babe at any point, they are a part of my family and should be aorund, I have had one for 12 years and one for 5 years.
Not sure if I shouldn't get my mum to come take them for the day, what do you guys think?
I am more than happy to put them in another room before I open the front door and check if she is ok with dogs first before I let them out, it's what I normally do with new people first anyway and i'll obviously walk them in the morning to tire them out a bit. Do you think that will be acceptable??
This is the only thing that has me really worried in a month where I have 4 other appointments that should be more nerve wracking....
