• Answer:

  Yes, your baby will be a citizen of the United States if he or she is born here. The only exception may be if you were traveling on some diplomatic passports, but if you are a student, your baby will be an American from the time of birth. Hospital and doctor charges for delivering a baby are very expensive, and if you are already pregnant, it may be difficult to get insurance that will cover those expenses. See if you can get group insurance through the school you will be attending. Individual policies that you buy for yourself tend to have waiting periods before childbirth is covered. They don't want someone to take out insurance knowing that they will be delivering the following week. But group policies are usually more flexible, so ask at the school. Good luck to you and your baby!! And welcome to our newest citizen. America has always been a "nation OF nations," and we pride ourselves on having citizens whose parents have come from every corner of the world. It's what makes us strong, and it is what make us unique.
