Re: Pediatrician - when?

I started looking now, at 25 weeks, only because I'm having twins and you just never know how early I will go. I would suggest to do your research now and just seek out at least two potentials. One dr was booked for consultations until July for Saturdays, so I ended up having to take time off from work, yet again, to meet him in a week on a Tues.

I just wanted one less stress so I'm doing it now. I only chose two - I live in West Islip where there are so many, but I picked one that came highly recommended on here, and a second that my friend, who does not settle for less than great, brings her children to.

Good luck.....

My hospital preregistration paperwork was due at 28 - 30 weeks and you had to put the pediatrician info on them. So I found one in the couple of weeks prior to that.
