Pediatrician question
At what point in your pregnancy did you mommies go to interview/choose a pediatrician. I am almost 27 weeks and wondering how far in advance i should do this
Thanks!

Re: Pediatrician question
I met with the pediatrician about 3 weeks before giving birth. I knew who I wanted to use, so we werent really shopping around, just wanted to meet him.

After Ds was born
Me, too. As a matter of fact, I stayed with the pediatrician that was assigned to me in the hospital for 25 years.

Re: Pediatrician question
Honestly, I never did. I thought it was silly because I know myself and I wouldn't have gotten an accurate feel until I actually had the baby and saw the dr. with my baby. So, I just went on recommendation and when I didn't like them after Ava was born, I switched. I think it's just one more thing a pregnant mommy-to-be should NOT have to add to her list of things to do.

Re: Pediatrician question
At like 36 weeks I think, I went to a meet and greet one morning at the practice. It was really nice.

Re: Pediatrician question
I think I picked mine approx. a month before I had DD. I went with the ped my OB recommended because we had just moved here 6 months before and didn't know anyone to ask. We didn't interview them. They had a website I checked out (which answered most of my questions,) I called and spoke to the receptionist. I figured if I didn't like them when we met them in the hospital, then we'd find another one. Luckily I have been very happy using them.

Re: Pediatrician question
We did it after DD was born. I was on bed rest in the hospital for a month. Once DD was born she stayed in the hospital for 3 weeks. We knew which practice we were planning to go to so we just had to pick the doctor.

Re: Pediatrician question
I "interviewed" my DCs pediatrician when I was in my pre-teens. He was my doctor, and my scoutmaster, so I knew him extremely well for decades....  I think everyone should go camping one weekend a month, and two weeks a year for several years before deciding on a doctor....
