This is probably a really dumb question, but here's what's going on:
I have lived in Tennessee all of my life, so I had a regular pediatrician there. When I turned 18, I came up to Indiana to go to college.
Well it was one thing after another, and now I live up here with my husband and son.
We've gotten our son a pediatrician here, but what about me?
I want to get myself a regular doctor too, but I don't really think there's "adult pediatricians" if you know what I mean...
What kind of a doctor would I go to, and where would they be? 😁
I know I sound super dumb..

a general practitioner, or find a family doctor and they should take care of all of you, that's what I have and my husband and I see the same doctor as out children

But the family doctor isn't a pediatrician @sarahdrew?

usually pediatricians only go up to 21, you can just go to a family dr or like @sarahdrew a general practitioner

they are but they also see adults... my children have seen our doctor since they were infants, he still does the well baby visits and vaccinations, and will see them if they are ill he diagnosed my sons croupe 2 years ago..... they know how to treat children and adults, some are even able to deliver a baby

what everyone else said! Where I live they're called primary care physicians.

@henrysmommy, you would go to a doctor in the state in which you live

like pp said, either general practitioner or family doctor. My obgyn was also a family doctor when I had my dd. Just Google general practitioner or family doctor in your area, and it should give you some options.
