I narrowed down my choices... not sure when I should call.... also, what questions should I ask?

Re: When did you start calling pediatricians before your dc was born?
I think I called around 35 weeks. I went and met with them sometime after that. I asked about hours, emergencies, if they had a two different waiting rooms for well and sick, what hospital they were affiliated with, if they would come to see DD in the hospital and anything else I could think of.
Hope that helps!

Re: When did you start calling pediatricians before your dc was born?
I started around 34 weeks. I solely went on recommendations.
I asked about Emergency procedures Call policy Pro Bf'ing-if have LC on staff How dr feels about prescribing meds Vaccinations-(my ped doesn't give any shots with preservatives to kids under age 3 and sticks with recommended time) How much time they spend with patients whether or not we felt rushed I asked about waiting room-our doesn't have a sick/well area-they said there is research somewhere out there that sick/well areas don't matter, parents always bring sick kids into the well area without knowing, and germs don't have a preference to stay on one side. Policy on newborn visits, if they have special times just for newborn appts (for babies under 4 weeks old)
While we were there we also payed attention to the staff, wait times, if nurses had smiles on their face, how they treated patients, just in general the attitude of the office.
I love my PED!!

I did it early - I was around 25 weeks. and i'm glad I did. That way when I filled out my pre-admission papers, I was able to include that information, and I had my baby at 36 weeks......
