Pregnancy Info HOME

It comes down to -- if you don't have insurance don't deliver in America! If you do have it by delivery day, go ahead and deliver here. An emergency c-section in America with no insurance can be a financial disaster! Also prenatal care will be expensive too. So I say have your husband apply to get you insured, it only takes a phone call to find out if you are a candidate. If you can get a plan that covers prenatal and has a low hospital deductable, then you're all set for a delivery in America. If not, don't even try. The last thing you want is a new baby and a serious amount of debt. So have him call around and see if he can get you on a healthplan and then you'll know your options. It isn't as simple as being an American, private insurace can judge you on any old health problems we aren't even guaranteed it ourselves unless through an employer. Good luck to you! Congratulations on your pregnancy:)

You should try consulting with an Immigration attorney for advice. They can give you the pros and cons of both sides. Good luck!

thanks for all the suggestions. It's pretty overwhelming and the whole concept of trying to find insurance, a doctor and a hospital is stressing me out! I've decided to have my baby here in Canada where it's free and just have dh come up here throughout the pregnancy and stay during delivery. Then we can go back to ATL after we're sure everybody is healthy! Gives me more time to get my insurance setup too! I love america, but boy do i love free health care! thanks ladies
