here is another option too:
can your mom fly to USA with you? she can apply a tour visa. if she does, then she can take care of you & baby after you gave birth in USA. cos my mom came to Chicago when my baby is born, she stay for 2 months over there, and return to HK when I fully recover from the delivery.
if you choose to delivery in HK, then your US mirgration application need to add your baby on it, will that delay the visa granted?

um.. im still using Avent's bottle now... i think they're ok, and there's a letter from Avent's web saidin they've passed the BPA test.
I'm so busy n tired to take care of my son... he's getting fussy now... can't sleep well every night.. be4, after he drink his milk he will sleep within 10mins.... now he doesnt want to sleep after feedin......... wake up every 10mins n cry.... i fight w/ him at least an hr. (same times 3 or more hrs)then he finally went to sleep.. OMG so tired...... he is now almost 1month, n drinkin 5oz mlik already....... fat boy....
your baby looks so cute...
poor you and baby, both of you don't have enough rest. do you know what happen to your baby and what make him so fussy?
like my friend's baby boy, he got runny nose all the time that's why he always cry and doesn't sleep well. finally the grandma hold him to sleep all the night.
so you got to find out what's reason make the baby fussy and help him.
my baby drink 3oz when she was 3 days old...she is a big girl as well.
good luck to you.
I see, so...it's hard for to make decision then. anyway, it's common for a new mom to face complicated feelings when they are expecting the first baby. as my experince now, just relax and take it easy...you will be fine at your delievery.
I also felt worry and anxious about my pregnancy when I was expecting my baby girl. however, I finally done great b'cos the nurse, my husband and my mom were support me fully when i was in the hospital (private hospital's service is good). so i finally have a healthy baby girl within 6. this is my first baby too.
dear garfield,
don't worry!
when yr baby was born, you need find a baby doctor for yr baby, you can call to yr insurance company to tell them yr bb was born.
and then they will find a doctor for bb and post the bb insurance card to u.
and then after bb 7days born, you need go to check bb (where bb doctor you find)... a lot of check.
when you go to check, you still didn't receive the bb insurance card, i know the bb will under mother name about 60days (mom insurance card) but you need ask the details for you insurance company
I'm also planning to move to the US (I can choose either Boston/Houston) in 1-2 years, so I read all yr messages to see whether there will be any clues to prepare for the action.
Further to Garfield's case, may be I can give you some ideas. Same as you, my husband is a US citizen and I'm HK residence. Our baby girl was born a yr ago in HK.
Because of the U.S. trip last month, we applied the US passport for her a few months ago. It is easy as we got the American visa. Now, my baby had both HK and American citizenship. As I mentioned to you in another topic, other than becoming the President of the America, he/she can enjoys all the other benefits as the american born baby.
Since you have applied for your own, I'm not sure if yours can be extended or what... I'm haven't apply for myself yet...
For myself, I think it is better to have family around for a short time (at least) after your delivery...
garfield0923:
if your baby born in HK, then the baby comes to USA with you. your baby will not be a us citizen, you can wait until your baby grow up and ask your baby to apply 入籍 on he/she's own. but what about the medical card for your baby? i known you got insurance, but after you and your baby came, baby's having shots to take from birth to 12yrs old and lots of check up, so who's going to pay it?
