My husband and I are expecting our first child in about 9 weeks and we are in the process of obtaining a pediatrician. I was told by several mom friends to set up a meeting with them first and make sure we are comfortable with them - I thought it was strange at first but it sounds like this is actually common practice so I didn’t feel so weird about calling and asking to meet with them prior to becoming a patient.

Anyway.... my question is what should I be prepared to ask/discuss at this meeting? Since this is our first child we don’t know a lot about what to expect so I feel like it is going to be the doctor doing most of the talking, but I want to make sure I don’t let that become a feeling like we are being taken advantage of because of our lack of knowledge. I want to be prepared with what we should be talking about so we know if the doctor is prepared to answer these questions as well... any insight is helpful. Thanks!
