Well I mean as an adult yes you should go for routine blood tests & check ups every couple of years (I only started doing that a few years ago though after iron & vit d problems, major fatigue prompted me to go) but no I wasn’t aware it was recommended older kids go for yearly check ups. Obviously not everyone does that either.
Anyway the dr was happy with her general check and did the bloods at my request. Hopefully all is well and it’s just the stress of starting high school and the events of the last few months making her tired.

Our kids are 11 and nearly 14 and they only go to the Dr when sick. DS went this year and it had been 7 years since his last visit! Neither of them have had blood tests. But if the Dr ever felt they needed one I would definitely do it.

Ive only ever taken them if they’re sick or I need a referral for something 🤷🏼♀️ Athough my 6 month old goes regular for weight checks and she’s gaining slowly.
