Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

Dear all,
Hello ! Nice to meet so many moms from NY.

The new year is coming on Sunday, do you go visiting relatives / friends or just go resturant to have tea ?? I wish all of you have a happy & healthy year.

We bought 2 traditional dresses for our daughters, we will dress them well on Sunday. And have hot pot with our friends the night before.

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

[size=x-large]各位媽咪, 祝您們一家係新一年都平平安安, 身體健康, 萬事如意, 順順利利!!!
對於新加入既媽咪, 你地好, 等我自我介紹一下, 我係Clara, 有2個B女, 住係Southern MD, 揸車去NYC要5個鐘, 因為BK勁慢既關係, 已經少咗係呢到出現, 但係都經常係MSN同呢到D媽咪接觸, 各位好嗎? 希望大家既BB都笑口常開, 健健康康!!

Zic,

點解唔過完年先返黎呀? 我都好明白點解會唔相返美國,香港真係好多野食, 親人朋友都係個邊, 會好唔捨得, 不過你有無食定D蘿白榚年糕先返過黎呀? 諗起我都流晒口水. Kurt 搭飛機乖唔乖, 有無大覺訓?

fookfook,

我MD 既OB收3000(順産), 不過有INSURANCE我就俾少咗好多, 醫院我住一日連BB一齊收2000銀到, 不過有INSURANCE又係俾少咗. 不過你可以問清楚醫院價格先決定. 美國生仔(我個人覺得)係好過香港, 會同香港私家醫院生差唔多, 你可以要求醫生話唔切一刀, 又可以同佢有相有量, 佢會聽你講, 香港政府醫生就唔會, 因為佢地做又36, 唔做又36... 我覺得呢到D醫護人院會專業d... 好似...

香港既野真係新鮮又新奇, 雪糕火

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

fookfook,

Welcome and nice to meet you! I have a 2 yrs-8-month-old daughter and one 33 weeks expected bb in my tummy. Compare US and HK, I think that US delivery bb is much better. The delivery room is quite comfortable. Including tv, private restroom, etc... and hubby can come with wife even though c-section. How much to pay it depends your insurance. For me, I paid $10 co-payment every time check up. It includes blood test, ultrasound & others necessary test. I got a suddenly c-section, so my bill was $1xxxx and my daughter bill seems $ 2xxx ( forgot ) but my insurance could cover all expense. Coming soon, my second bb will born and I moved living area, and also my insurance change, so I don't know how much next time, but I paid the check up co-payment still $10 every time so far. My english is no good and my OB was western doctor and now is same as western doctor. I use my limited english to communication with her. That's ok! No need special term. We are only a patient, we don't need use special term to give a birth our bb. haaa...... Good luck !

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

Hi Everyone,

Long time no chat la...miss you all I wish you all a Happy Chinese New Year with Wealth and Health in the year of the Dog. 恭喜發財

Mrsyip,

I know many good schools will require waiting list. Just put your name down on everyone sin la :lol: :lol: :lol: Wow...$1400 for tuition...which school is that I ask for part time one in my city and it's $6xx for 3 half days from 8am-noon. I wonder how much it will be for full day...might cost more than a full time nanny...

Fookfook,

If your hubby is going to school here, he can probably get health insurance through the university which also covers you as a spouse for additonal fee. If you end up deciding to have a baby in the US, I think health insurance is a must. You can probably find out approximately how much it will cost to deliver naturally or c-section but you can never estimate the additional cost for prenatal, postnatal, and pedia care. Don't worry about language barrier, just find an ob/gyn that can speak chinese. By the time you are in the hospital..they can speak to you in robot language and you wouldn't care...hahaha....

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

Mrs.Yip,

真係咁貴成$1400成個月? 私立學校係咪? 有冇宗教背景? 5日制定乜呀?
你生完第二個開頭個月會好辛苦, 但係之後會好好多, 你唔使擔心, 你大女都咁大個, 你情況應該比我好好多. 我而家成日都夾佢地午睡時間, 咁下午我就有幾粒鐘休息下, 做下家務咁囉, 感覺就係煮到埋黎就食啦個種...哈哈哈

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

To All Mommies,

Happy CNY! Kung Hey Fat Choi!
Good health and best wishes for the year of dog!


Mrs. Yip,

Actually $1400 tuition a month are not unusual for some private schools. I've checked out a few private preschools also cost about $1200 to $1400 a month if going there 5-full-days a week, and I doubted about their qualities. The one that my boy's in is relatively cheaper becoz it's a Christian school - only $900 a month for full time.

You might wanna be careful picking a good preschool, coz expensive tuition doesn't necessarily mean it's good. Just my 2 cents!


MuiMui,

Congratulations on getting yr masters degree finally!

Wow! You're so incredible! I've been thinking about getting a PhD so that I could teach at a university and spend more time with my boy. However, I haven't even started to apply yet, and I almost forgot about this thought and given up. Anyway, forget abt it.


FookFook,

For the costs of labor and delivery, it really depends on your health insurance plan and yr ob doctor. So, I would suggest you to talk to a health insurance agent about it. If you're getting one from yr husband's college, probably it would just cover for the very basic things and I doubted if it would cover for the labor and delivery costs.

For my insurance from my ex-employer, I paid approx. $1000 deductible for the hospital costs (i stayed 6 nights there due to tough induced labor and c-section), $1400 for the doctor giving epidural, $200 for ob doctor, $300 for pediatrician, etc. $10 co-payment for each doctor office's visit.

You can try to find out more abt the Kaiser plan if available in yr area. They hv everything in their own hospital, so the cost is much much cheaper.

Hope that it helps!

Anyway, I can imagine how tough it is taking care of a newborn while studying for a tough MBA program. You might wanna think twice!

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

mrs. yip, 多謝你諗起我. 惡夢已過去, 新一年, 新希望, yeah! 返黎之後, 我就唇瘡爆發, 歷仔可能係果個星期, 見得太多人, 經歷太多, 所以返到黎之後, 佢訓得唔好, 要co-bed. 佢之前都唔駛, 都唔知點train 返佢自己訓.

Whalebb, 你好 “近”呀, 識整咁多野食, 我好想學架, 但每次叫媽咪教, 佢都叫我咪左住哂, 所以都學唔到我媽媽既真傳. 可惜…可惜.

小肥佬, 書中自有黃金屋, 努力!努力! 你一定掂架!

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

咁多位媽咪,又係我呀~
:-P:-P:-P好多謝你地各位既INFO同welcome,:-P:-P:-P 其實我呢幾日都有睇,不過老公o係隔離,我唔方便reply

小肥佬,
我再問左多少少info啦,無買保險, 醫院報價會平d既, 你初時話唔同價,我都未get到係平d
>如果真係想生,就要快D準備啦...
係law,如果confirm, 就要做d介生冷野, 食定葉酸同鈣片…..

zic,socludy,
你地個bb係咪8個月大呀?一定好得意:mrgreen:
SY_Mom,
Kaiser plan我會睇下係乜東東先, thanks呀~我無讀書呀, 老公個mba, 佢話tough, 不過我見佢都跟得上
Natmama,
好貴呀如果跟佢學校買…一年6000大元~~…..個chinese太太搵左呢個200一個月,已經平左好多 :tongue:
Mrsyip,
33w, 好快就出世喇, 恭喜你呀~生左, 得閒就分享下啦~
muimui313,
Hello Hawaii 媽媽~咁得意既,你移左民去hawaii呀? 但我見你要等??!!我好鍾意陽光海灘架, 我老公遲少少會同我去呀, 因為佢仲未正式同我去honeymoon… :tongue: ………我諗我會好鍾意hawaii, 係咪4季都好好陽光架?
Clarab,
真係好多謝你地info, >有相有量, 咁就好好…


其實我都好煩, 點解無lala想生呢?!係因為我老公既chinese同學同佢老婆已經開始左做人計劃, 佢地話: bb o係度出世, 會對佢將來好d, 既然有咁既機會, 咪provide俾bb 囉,
我同老公本來諗住生個小豬, 即係01/2007 至01/2008, 心目中係2007summer 畢業後, 返hk, 搬定左, 老公又搵左幾個月$$, 咁01/ 2008前出世就好,
但聽到佢地咁講, 又係wor, 公民身份(or green card??!!)將來條路會好行d, 因為老公而家讀書,係international student,同 local student既機會呀,一切都差好遠…….
所以我一心諗住個”小豬”大計,提早幾個月……..
但我又諗…….係咪”公民”呢個好處就值得呢?
1. 我無US insurance, 順產都至少US$6000, 我之前仲諗住開刀, 因為女趺打ec話我盆骨細……
2. 爸爸媽媽老爺99都唔係呢邊, 進保坐月, 湊仔一切依靠自己….
3. 又驚eng聽唔明, 不過你地都叫左我唔使worry:p
4. bb出世, 老公都未開始工作, 讀mba既loan都未還……..仲再應付bb既支出??!!
5. 我同老公結左婚至今只有6個月……係咪太早呢??!!我身邊d case, 兩公婆有問題, 小朋友一定係suffer o個個…….
6. 我地得26…係咪要咁快生小朋友挷住自己呢??!!

Insurance方面, 我可能另外再join一個student spouse insurance , 一個月200蚊, 包80% cost, 當我買一年就大約2500, 順產就約6000x 0.2=1200左右, 咁大約4000左右………咁計ok 嗎 ?-(

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

Sy-Mom,

From your experience with preschool hunting, can you provide some tips or keypoints as to what to look for during the preschool interviews? There are quite a few options in my area both with and w/o potty train, please help.

Fookfook,

Wow, $6000/year is quite expensive wor. Since you are young, it will definitely be cheaper to get your own health insurance plan outside. In terms of whether or not to have a baby now...I had natalie when I was 26, 2 years after getting married. To me, everything worked out as planned. You now taking care of baby requires a lot of energy..haha Regarding the citizenship issue, I know many parents that go to foreign countries to deliver just for that. Depends what are the chances you and your hubby will stay in US to work, etc... If your ultimate plan is to settle down in HK, then you should really think twice be4 having your baby now. Seems like you have doubts about if you're ready or not... ?-( ?-( ?-(

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

Hi everybody,

Kung Hei Fat Choi ! When do you have another gathering in Feb for all LA moms ?? Yesterday I went "bye lin", I spoke with to my friend who is interested to join the gathering ar !! Let's have a bigger bigger family.

Here I have a question about my car, see anyone who knows what's happening. The light (engine symbol) turns ON recent days. I checked the manual, seems talking about the emission problems. Last time, I remembered it was gone somehow later, but not sure about the situation. Do I need to check it up ??

Whalebb,
I was busy for CNY, taking photos & send to all friends in HK (bye lin), therefore I didn't msn law. Never mind la, you may give me a call any time gar.

新年快樂﹐祝各位狗年得意。
好多新媽媽﹐你們好。我有個一歲大既反斗星叫RYAN﹐住係NYC。~不過都係CA/LA好~哈哈哈

VENNIS﹐
ENGINE LIGHT著左﹐不如去AUTO SHOP CHECK下﹐可大可小呢﹐可能D電SHORT左痴左線﹐或者真係ENGINE有問題。你又有細路﹐唔係一陣係街架車有問題就麻煩了。

FOOKFOOK﹐
我個OB都係CANTONESE﹐我覺得FEELING MORE COMFORTABLE同埋同聲同氣有咩事急起上黎都易溝通D。其實$4000 OK呀COMPARE WITH你要比AT LEAST 15000 FOR 順產。不過你問清楚有D燕梳唔包EPIDURAL﹐要逐秒計錢架。

遲下先傾啦﹐我老細仔醒左

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

Clara,
我要開學呀, 如果唔係都唔走人啦... 香港是我家!!!! 好掛住屋企. 係機場未飛之前, 見到啲空姐, 全部都係香港人, 都唔知幾開心... 仲有架機一landing, 鼻子都酸一酸…快啲到出年, 我又可以返去.

笨咗, 唔記得食蘿白榚!!:evil:

Kurt 好乖呀, 兩程機都瞓, 醒咗就玩remote control. 食餅仔咁, 得閒又撩下隔離啲人囉. Out of expectation. 好叻仔….

你兩位千金點呀?? evie 好大個女囉.


mrs. yip,
香港之行好正, 不過有時行程太密. 阿仔都好辛苦. 日日走水由12:00 pm - 10:00 pm. 佢都冇覺好瞓. 又唔肯take naps, 驚miss out anything. kurt 好鍾意搭扶手電梯. 我一企上佢, 佢就"ah"!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

OH!!! when is your due date???

fookfook,
上次太 "沖"忙,唔記得自我介紹. 我個仔啱啱9個月大, 名叫kurt. 住係nyc, brooklyn. 一名全職揍仔婆, & part-time student. 你呢??

由於怕大帝起身, 唔俾我用電腦, 以下內容type english.

new york state has an insurance called "CAP" for those pregnant ladies who don't have insurance. It is a government insurance and also don't need to care about the immigration status. (that means no green card, or citizen are needed). You don't need to pay anything for doing tests, or prenatal check ups.

http://www.health.state.ny.us/nysdoh/pcap/index.htm

Are you living in New Jersey?? I'm not sure do they have the same plan there you should check with your state, do they have any government insurance for those people like you. Call any chinese organizations or any Chinese OB in NJ. Ask about it.

You need to think about when your baby is born, he has monthly check up. If you don't have insurance, that might be a problem.

Last thing don't know that works for you or not: move to NYC (since you live in Newport, it's not much far away from here anyway.) then you can have good chinese OB and Pediactrian here. And the insurance problem :SOLVED... 坐月: you can hire somebody from the city ma. Plus: a lot of mommies are living in NYC, great help if you need anything. Think Think.

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

Dear all Moms,

Hello Hello.祝各位靚媽咪青春常駐,啲仔仔女女聽聽話話, 老公就更加体貼啦! :wink: :wink: 好耐無上BK啦! 大少呢排学行,鍾意週圍行,日日就拖住我由屋頭行到 屋尾,所以什麽也做唔到,連夜晚上綱嘅精神都無埋。希望呢段時間快的過啦!

唔知點解阿仔呢排胃口好差。最初唔肯食粥，於是我比米糊佢食啦! 最近ヌ唔肯食米糊, 這兩天連飲奶嘅次數也少埋，唔知什麽事，前幾天佢有小小肚瀉,我阿媽話可能要出大牙，各位靚媽有沒有類似嘅经䮽驗呢？

FookFook,
Welcome to BK! 自我介紹下先,我有个仔Joshua就快一歲。我係Stay home Mom , main job duties 係服侍好屋企一大一細,無辦法啦,一个係我依家旣米鈑班主,一个係將來嘅米鈑班主麻! 我个人覺得可以的話,早啲生好啲,因偽生仔同湊仔都需要好大的精神同体力,後生好一點咯! But anyway, 最重要你同老公都agree 啦!

You live in Newport. Are you close to the Newport Mall. We used to go there when we first came to NY. It is a very nice area. We have checked out those apartments in there too. But they were too expensive. But we still think it is a very nice place to live! Enjoy Enjoy! :lol: :lol:

Whalebb,
好厲害呀! 我呢个C9就唔識整糕啦! 最多咪係去鉼店買番个咯!

Muimui313,
Congratulations! Finally receive your master degree. It is a great achievement. Proud of you !! 有無口的苦盡甘來嘅感覺呢？點樣去獎勵自己呀？

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

Hello Zic,
Long time no chat. How do you do in school? Who take care of Kurt while you’re away?

Hello Dorisbee,
Corey has a similar situation, he has 2 tiny teeth la. He likes to eat congee and rice cereal, however he refuses to have baby formula during the day time. It gives me headache because the pediactrian told me that he could have a minimum of 24 oz of formula a day. I think it’s a must for infant between 4 months and 1 year old. Therefore, my parents and I try to feed him every 3 hours while he is sleeping at night. Don’t know if Joshua likes to be feed at night or not though…
