I've just realised that I have no idea whether I should be looking for a paediatrician before bub's arrives, or if it's something you do later?

We've just moved into a new area and I don't know any of the doctors in this area yet. Should I be making an appointment with a doctor just to meet them to see if I'm comfortable with them or something like that? I really have no idea. I'm always terrible when it comes to seeing new doctors. I've never found one that's as good as my family doctor from when I was a kid, but he's on the verge of retiring, plus he's over and hour away now.

I really want to find a good doctor that listens to my thoughts and concerns. I'm worried that if I bring up vaccinations and controversial things like that, that any new doctor might just place me in the "nutcase" pile and not take me seriously... I don't want to be coddled, I just want to be given scientific facts and real information about the things that concern me.
