I hope that your 1st year in BJ has been a good one. It's very exciting to begin a family and I hope that you can enjoy the whole experience. When finding a place for check-ups & deliever at it is important you find a place that you feel most comfortable at. For each person that is different. I would suggest to "shop" around. Being in BJ you have many options to choose from (that can be good & bad – if your like me too many options is over whelming). United Family is a very good hospital and I know MANY people who have had great experiences there. It is run very much like a hospital in America (not sure where you are from). They are very professional but it can be very busy there. It is also expensive (especially if you don't have insurance). I had my second child at American-Sino OB/GYN and really enjoyed it. It is much smaller, more family like and has an American feel to it. The doctors & nurses are Chinese (but speak English) so it does have a China feel as well as an American. I was impressed at how much they worked with me and my desires, not pushing any procedures or meds that I did want. There is one more hospital that is even more Chinese but they do provide a translator, AmCare. It is located right around the corner from United Family hospital. I personally know two woman who delivered their babies there and had a great experience but it is a Chinese hosptial so it has the least Western feel of the three. But this place is most cost friendly.
I would suggest you go to each place and have a tour and see which one best suits you. If you don't like any of these there are more that you can check out that I haven't mentioned. Please feel free to ask any more questions that you might have. Good Luck!!
