Multiples

When to look for a pediatrician?

Everyone I know with singletons usually waited until 34+ weeks to start looking. With the risks of multiples coming early, is it premature to look into them now? I'm just about 25 weeks. When did you all start looking and did you have any requirements for the doctor you selected?

 Our baby boy,Logan, was born still at 19w3d on 7/1/2011
Our 2nd baby boy, Mason, was born still at 20w3d on 1/31/2012

 After a much needed sanity break... we are praying for our rainbows

((BFP 7/29/13))  ((EDD 4/12/14))  It's BOY/GIRL twins!!!

Re: When to look for a pediatrician?

  • I am looking now (23w), my OB recommended it because of the twins, and we have to have one before we can register to our hospital.  I have interviewed one and have a couple more lined up.

  • i looked around 26 weeks and i was glad- the practice where i am going, i wanted one particular dr. and once a month the dr.'s take turns doing "new parent orientations" so i had to wait a month before my dr. did one.  i know some practices actually make appt.'s for moms to be also.

  • Thanks ladies! I guess I know what I will be doing next week. Did you look at doctors based on the hospital you were delivering at?

  • When I called them I asked which hospital they were associated with. I yelped doctors near me which helped a ton.
