Moms, when did you sign up with a pediatrician?

Question

Answer

They asked me who my choice was at the hospital when my baby was born, and the staff called to set up my baby's appointment for me. I didn't do anything with the pediatrician beforehand, but I did make sure they were accepting newborn patients before I told the hospital I chose them. My hospital also has you pre-register for birth around 28 weeks, so they may have asked me who my ped was then, but it was just so they could document it and know for later.

Answer

When my son was born before leaving the hospital. Never interviewed pediatricians but picked one before we left the hospital. Now I’m pregnant with my second son and my he will also be going to the same pediatrician as my first son because he’s been amazing these last 2 years.

Answer

a couple weeks b4 my son was due I looked up pediatricians in the area, I called up the one that sounded good to make sure they were accepting new patients & my insurance and that was it, no interview. 
Absolutely love my sons doctor & this baby will be going there too

Answer

I think I started interviewing pediatricians once I hit my third trimester.

Answer

They asked me in the hospital who I wanted to go too. A few weeks prior to my son’s birth I asked the office if they needed anything prior to going into labor and they said nope, they’ll get all the information from the hospital when he’s born.

Answer

I have Kaiser and decided to go with the Doctor that saw my son in hospital. He has been a blessing and I am glad I went into the experience open and not set on a particular Doctor.
