Pediatrician.

I found a pediatrician I like, but when I have my baby to I just tell them he's the one I want? Or is there anything I have to do before I have her?

Usually when you deliver they will ask if you've selected a pediatrician. You'll tell them who you've selected and if you pediatrician has privileges at that hospital the hospital will call them and tell them so that the Dr can come see you. If your pediatrician doesn't have privileges there, the day you are discharged call them and register the baby and set up your first appointment (usually 2-3 days after discharge)
