Risks of Giving Birth in the United States and BLC’s Professional Support

Giving birth in the United States (traveling to the U.S. during pregnancy to deliver) allows babies to obtain U.S. citizenship, but it also comes with several common risks.
Understanding these risks and planning ahead enables mothers and families to complete the childbirth plan safely and smoothly. 

Most Common Risks

Visa and Entry Risks

• B-2 or tourist visas may be denied;
   
• U.S. Customs may question whether the traveler has “immigration intent.”
   

Medical Risks During Pregnancy

• Long-haul flights may increase the risk of preterm labor, blood clots, or severe nausea.
   
• Unfamiliarity with local healthcare systems may delay prenatal checkups or postpartum care.
   

High Medical Costs

• U.S. medical expenses are extremely high.
   
• Hospital delivery, newborn NICU care, and postpartum examinations can lead to additional unexpected costs.
   

Newborn Documentation and Insurance Issues

• Birth certificate, passport, visa, and household registration procedures are complex.
   
• Without proper insurance, all newborn medical expenses must be fully paid by the parents.
   

Living and Accommodation Challenges

• If accommodation, transportation, and postpartum care are not properly arranged, the mother and family may experience excessive stress.
