When do you select a pediatrician?

edited April 2011 in Health
This is my first child and I was wondering when do You select a pediatrician? Is it something You do while pregnant? Any other military spouses have experience with this?

  • Yeah u almost always have to name a pediatrician before they will let u take ur baby home from the hospital. U don't have to have an appt set up they just have to have somewhere to send the babies records. I think the dr office will send back a confirmation that was baby was seen within a few days of discharge from the hospital
  • Ok..thanks this helps a lot! Y'all ladies are wonderful :)
  • We have a pediatrician already but we also had to choose a separate one to come to the hospital because our regular one doesn't go to the hospital where i am delivering.
