So a little background, I switched to standard so I could see a midwife off base since we are at a "remote" location. She is part of a hospital med group and I know since I am standard I will most likely continue to see her until I can get back on prime. However for baby, I know he will automatically be on prime for the first 60 days, does he see my midwife for those first few appointments or do I take him to Peds on base for his first appointments. I didnt really want him to start seeing a dr that he wont be following up with after a couple weeks.
So basically my question is who should baby be following up with post delivery?
Re: Babies first dr visit?
I had a home birth and my midwife saw baby up until 6 weeks old. I wasn't worried about continuity all that much. And even less so now - I'm switching her pediatrician since I don't like our first one.
That's not how you have to do it. It's just what I preferred since my MW came to my home for the PP appointments.
This is for all the caterpillars that never became butterflies. And for all the butterflies that never felt the wind in their wings. And for all the hearts that had hopes and dreams of a wondrous flight together.
I have Standard and my daughter was automatically put on Standard not Prime. I know the website says Prime but when we went to the office to switch her to Standard they said she was put on Standard because that is what I had. So, you might want to check and make sure your baby is Prime.
Because she was Standard and we wanted to keep her on Standard we picked a pedi in the network and she has had all her appointments with that pedi.
