Selecting a pediatrician

Today I'm at 21 weeks. Even if the triplets go to 40 weeks, I'm definitely over halfway now. It's time to start looking for a pediatrician.

This seems like a very complicated process. We're not sure of the best way to tackle it. We've talked to friends and got doctor recommendations from them. We've talked to other mothers of multiples and also received doctor recommendations from them. We're going to check with our insurance company and see which doctors are covered. We found an interview sheet for pediatricians on pregnancyweekly.com. Now I guess it's time for us to start calling offices and talking to them. Are we missing anything? Any suggestions?

Wonder if pediatricians give a volume discount for multiples?

A lot of choosing a doctor comes down to basic motherly instinct. Are you going to feel comfortable around them? Other questions I might think about are...Do they fit your parenting style? Do you want a doctor who will sugarcoat things or who will give it to you straight? Another question would also be about calling your doctor. How good are they at returning your calls? If they can't answer, is there a nurse who can answer your questions? Good luck!
