Few things are more exciting than preparing to welcome a child into the world. Trinidad Rojas, MD, and Tina E.

If you’re expecting, schedule a visit to meet with these caring and experienced children’s health professionals. Booking is fast and easy with phone or online options.   

Why should expectant mothers schedule a pediatric visit?

Preparing to welcome a new member into your family is a busy time. There are so many things to take care of, and if your pregnancy isn’t an easy one, it takes extra time to cover all of those bases. 

Deciding where your baby will receive the health services they need to thrive is high on any expectant mother’s to-do list. At Wellness Pediatrics, PC, expectant parents are always welcome to come in to meet the team. 

Getting to know the practitioners, support staff, and administrative professionals at Wellness Pediatrics, PC, is the best way to feel secure in your decision. You have options when it comes to where your child receives care, and finding the right pediatric practice brings considerable peace of mind. 

What kinds of questions can expectant mothers ask during their visit?

When you come in for an office visit, you have the chance to sit down with a pediatrician and explore all that Wellness Pediatrics, PC, has to offer. You can discuss any aspect of well-baby care, and ask questions as they arise. 

Some of the issues expectant parents frequently ask about during these early visits include:

• Preventive health
• Screenings
• Sick visits
• Scheduling
• Vaccines
• Insurance coverage
• Physicals
• Developmental assessments
• Lab testing

As you discuss your specific questions during the visit, you also learn more about how each pediatrician relates to the kids in their care. The style of communication is important, since you’ll partner this practitioner as your child moves through the phases of life. 

When is the right time for expectant mothers to come meet the team?

Most expectant mothers like to come in during their second trimester and into the early portion of their third trimester. This gives you plenty of time to explore your options and decide where to bring your newborn in for care. 

Waiting until the final weeks of pregnancy leaves a risk that you won’t feel up to coming in, or that something changes and you go into labor before you have a chance to visit the office. Of course, expectant mothers (and fathers) are welcome to come in at any time. 

When you’re ready to book your visit, call the office to schedule a time. Online booking is also an option, allowing you to book any time of day or night.
