Okay ladies, first pregnancy. So many questions that books don't answer. Sorry, this is kinda long.
What do I do about a pediatrician? Find one now? Do I schedule an appointment for baby before birth? How old does baby have to be for first appointment? I'm vaccinating, when do those appointments start? If it's easier to inbox me, feel free. I hit the halfway point of my pregnancy and am freaking out about what to do once he arrives. Help please ❤
To add^ they didn’t let me leave until I made an apt for that Friday which was only a couple days.
They’ll help you find one if no one is available.
Always better to find one you like ahead of time though.
Also, on the day of birth babe will get their first shot of hep and usually only get their second at their 1-2 month apt.
I had 1w apt and then a 2w apt. And just had her 1m Monday.
Vaccinations start day one at the hospital within hours of birth.
At least in my state they do. 🤷🏻♀️
You can start looking at pediatricians now if you want. At least get an idea of where and if they’re accepting new patients. The hospital usually helps you set up the first appointment I think. You will tell them the pediatrician you chose when you give birth, if you don’t have one they just assign one that works through the hospital.
Here you don’t get a paediatrician unless it’s required and your referred by your doctor you don’t book it yourself. Our kids always had their first check up at one week, and the health nurse gives you the vaccination schedule.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

Where I’m at, a lot of pediatrician offices will do meet and greets while you’re pregnant and the OBGYN’s offices usually have recommendations. We had our son’s first appointment the day after we left the hospital, but he was jaundice and needed his bilirubin (sp?) checked. Vaccines started at the hospital, but your PED should be able to give you a print out of when the all will be.
