“Just like with many other medical conditions, there are things you can do to prevent issues and complications from season allergies,” SouthCoast Health Allergist Dr. Wasil Khan said. “Many patients think they should wait until their symptoms start to come see me, but it’s actually best to come in before the allergy season starts if you know you typically experience them during the spring months.”
When should you start looking for a pediatrician? It’s recommended to start in your last trimester.
Ask friends and family for recommendations to find one you’re comfortable with.
Scheduling a prenatal visit is a great way to get to know if you’ve found the right pediatrician.
