Pediatrician Question

Can someone please explain to me how we go about setting baby's appts with a pedi days after birth on Prime. I know they are assigned so how do I (or can I) find that information out before the baby is born to have them seen the few days after? TIA

Re: Pediatrician Question
I think a lot depends on your given situation and location. When I had my son my OB was military but delivered in a civilian hospital. They set up everything for me and told me the date and time after I gave birth.
When I had my daughter, I gave birth at a birth center not affiliated with the military so I had to schedule everything myself. I just called once I gave birth and where we currently are stationed they do a ridiculous cattle call style appointment on certain days and times.
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.
My friend said our Naval Hospital did this. She said sometime after her baby was born they handed her a sheet with the date and the time for the baby's appointment. I'd ask at your next appointment, they should have some idea of what happens.
Sorry should have clarified we were not near a MTF- so I guess my experience wasnt that helpful! Sorry!

I don't think that will apply to me because I'm not delivering on post or at a hospital in any way affiliated with the military. I switched to Standard to be seen off post but the children will all be Prime. Do you know how it will work then? I am going to call them in a few days but I wanted to see if anyone had personal experience since I always get contradicting information from the reps.
It's ok lol, that's how I was in FL (so much better) too but now we're minutes from a military hospital so the children have to go there unless I switch them to Standard as well.
Sorry, this mobile site sucks at not letting me use certain punctuation!
I don't remember exactly what happened, but I think it was similar to this. I don't remember setting up the next appointment. And I actually saw my OB for his two day appointment and one of the family practice OBs for his two week appointment. We didn't go to the pediatrician until his two month apt.
