Yes, prior to coming to the hospital to deliver, you should select a doctor for you baby. A pediatrician is a specialist who takes care of infants through young adults. A family medicine doctor is a physician who cares for patients throughout all phases of life. Once you have selected a doctor, call his or her office to find out if they are taking new patients. Let them know when you are due and that you would like your infant to become established as a new patient with that physician. You can begin doing this around week 28 of your pregnancy.
