Family nurse partnership
Becoming a parent for the first time is exciting and can also be scary for different reasons.
The Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) is a team of specially trained Family Nurse who visit regularly at home or somewhere you are comfortable, from early pregnancy until your child is up to two.
Who is the service for?
If you are having your first baby and are aged 24 and under, are less than 28 weeks pregnant and live in Buckinghamshire, you may be entitled to a Family Nurse.
What does a family nurse do?
Your Family Nurse will personalise your visits and you can decide together what topics to talk about. Your Family Nurse can help you develop new skills and make plans for a healthy, happy future for you and your baby. Ā They can also help you make important decisions around:
- Having a healthy pregnancy
- Managing your labour
- Feeding your baby
- Build a positive relationship with your baby and others
- Understanding your childās development
- Achieving your aspirations (such as finding a job or returning to education)
- Understanding your option for housing and money
- Knowing what childcare options there are if you choose to go back to education or work
Partners and other family members are also welcomed to join you during your visits with the Family Nurse.
