don't worry about to be a full time mom and take care of your baby alone.
i will say that it's fun but busy, something you will worry a bit b'cos you are a new mom and lack of experience of taking care of a baby.
but don't worry, you will be okay and just ask us if you have any questions.
i enjoy taking care of my baby, she is now very active. i just play with her and put eyes on her all time since she is almost crawling now. i have no time to clean up the house, only wait until my husband got home after work.
you know later... :lol:
yes, there is ultrasound for the baby at the pre-natal check ups.
welcome to US.
for your case, i guess you can see the 婦科醫生 directly, no need to see the family doctor. just bring all your check up record and test results.
ask your husband to check for any 婦科醫生 under your insurance network.
i highly recommand you to sign up a pregnancy calendar at wedMD (www.wedmd.com). this pregnancy calendar provide some very useful info. of your pregnancy, such as when you need to do the test, what will the doctor check on you on next visit, and your baby's growth...very useful.
which area are you going to stay in Chicago? see if any 婦科醫生 recommondation.
Not sure about your area, but in my area - Santa Clara country in CA... you do not have to settle the bb name in the hospital. Though if you already have the name ready, it will be easier and faster to get all the document done. The nurse already warn the new parents if they are really not sure, dont just give out a "whatever" name to them because it will probably take about 1 year to get all the name change done for bb's records plus you need to spend quite a lot of money to have it change (couple hundreds). But if you don't have the name ready before you leave the hospital, then you will need to go to the SSN office etc to apply for the SSN for your baby. If you give it to the record officer in the hospital, they will file the paperword and the SSN card will send to your home address.. much more convenient.
Again, different county may have different rules. You may ask your local county office or hospital and see if they can give you more info.
Which state/county your bb born? Chicago? My son's birth cert (Santa Clara county in CA) is not like 白色A4紙 bor. Size maybe similiar but it has different color. It has bb's name, parents' name, date and location of birth etc. The paper has some texture feeling when you touch it.
各位,好高興見到有個topic from Chicago. 雖然我咁遲加入,希望各位亦給予一些意見。我Husband 及兩歲仔仔已是公民from Chicago,我未係,因我真怕悶,亦擔心決定移居Chicago後,找不到工作。我真係好認同Chicago真好悶,唐人街又無嘢行,如要我在唐人街找份工就更加難。其實有什麼好工可做?我知總有一天要過來,都係為仔仔讀書及將來。各位媽媽有何意見?

Thanks for your reply. 當然我依家在HK返工啦,因我現在都未入籍,你知啦,如果我要入籍,未必是難事,聽我老公講,只要我肯過去,大概一兩年到就得,只不過我覺得未係時候。咁你兩個仔仔現在香港讀書定美國呀?你會點安排?我仔仔現在兩歲,我好想佢係香港讀好的中文才過去,但又怕太遲而令佢錯失學習機會,所以仍未有時間表。你有任何意見?
