Meet Your Baby’s Pediatric Team Before Delivery
Choosing a pediatrician before your baby arrives is an important step in preparing for your newborn’s care. Delaware Valley Pediatric Associates welcomes expecting parents to schedule a prenatal visit with our pediatric team in Lawrenceville, NJ.
A prenatal visit gives you the opportunity to meet our providers, learn about our approach to newborn care, tour the office when available, and ask questions about what happens after your baby is born. Whether this is your first child or you are growing your family, our team is here to help you feel prepared, informed, and supported.
DVPA provides relationship-based pediatric care for families throughout Lawrenceville, Princeton, Hamilton, Mercer County, and nearby Bucks County communities.
What Is a Prenatal Pediatric Visit?
A prenatal pediatric visit is a meeting between expecting parents and the pediatric practice before the baby is born. It is not a medical exam for the baby. Instead, it is a chance to get to know the pediatric team that may care for your child from birth through young adulthood.
During your visit, you can ask questions about newborn care, feeding, first appointments, hospital care, vaccines, office access, after-hours support, and what to expect during the first few weeks at home.
This visit can be especially helpful for first-time parents, parents new to the area, or families looking for a pediatric practice that provides personal, consistent care.
Questions You Can Ask During a Prenatal Visit
Many expecting parents are not sure what to ask. That is completely normal. Our team is happy to guide the conversation and answer the questions that matter most to your family.
Common questions include:
- How soon should my baby see the pediatrician after birth?
- What happens at the first newborn visit?
- Do you provide newborn care in the hospital?
- What should I know about feeding and weight checks?
- Do you offer lactation support?
- How do after-hours calls work?
- How are sick visits handled?
- What vaccines will my baby need?
- What should I do if my baby has a fever?
- How do I become a new patient at DVPA?
Newborn Care After Delivery
After your baby is born, your newborn will need close follow-up to monitor feeding, weight, jaundice, sleep, safety, and overall health. DVPA helps families navigate those early days with practical guidance and supportive care.
Our pediatricians are on active staff at Capital Health and Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center. We currently provide in-hospital newborn care at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center, and we are happy to care for your baby in our office regardless of where you deliver.
