im in illinois but they asked me when i went in and they had a doctor at the hospital that did everything until we left then told us we needed to make an appintment within two weeks with our pediatrician after we got home

Yea when the baby leaves the hospital I think the pediatrician needs to see the baby within 24 hours after discharge that's what I needed to do

I found a pediatrician and then when we were bein discharged they asked who it was and made sure my son had an appointment for the next day or two

@mimiz, @mommareatherford @eswitzer31 should I then wait till I deliver to let them know then? I don't know why I would call the hospital ahead of time

I would wait. Your child isn't in the system to put their doctor in so they couldn't do anything with the information.

Tell your hospital they ask anyway

Your pediatrician doesn't see the baby until after you leave the hospital, the hospital has its own pediatricians it uses (usually)
