• 在美国，许多城市都有月子中心，洛杉矶、纽约、旧金山、西雅图、休斯顿、圣何塞等等，但是赴美生子家庭一般首选的，还是洛杉矶。

    主要原因就是洛杉矶对于赴美生子家庭来说的性价比很高，是目前赴美生子行业发展最早，产业链最完整的城市，而洛杉矶办理美宝五证十分方便，效率也很高。

    In the United States, many cities have maternity centers, including Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Houston, and San Jose, but Los Angeles is generally the first choice for families considering giving birth in the US.

    The main reason is that Los Angeles offers excellent value for money for families seeking to give birth in the US. It's currently the city with the earliest developed and most complete industry chain for the birth tourism sector, and obtaining the five necessary documents for a US-born child in Los Angeles is very convenient and efficient.

    除此以外，首选洛杉矶还有以下3大原因：

    1、洛杉矶华人多，没有语言障碍

    洛杉矶的华人人口接近80万，主要集中在尔湾、科罗娜、哈岗等区域，这些属于洛杉矶的卫星城。在洛杉矶，各行各业中都有许多华人的从业人员，尤其是在服务行业中，孕妈往来基本都可以使用简单的中文进行沟通。

    洛杉矶来往中国的航班很多，机票价格也十分便宜，许多地方都带有中文标识，中国超市比较多，可以买到许多中国的商品，这对初到洛杉矶的赴美生子家庭很有帮助。

    2. 全年阳光普照，利于孕妈待产坐月子

    洛杉矶属于温带地中海型气候，空气清新、气候温和，全年286天阳光普照，平均温度17.2℃，是孕妈待产坐月子的好去处。

    3. 华人医生多，医生费用低

    在洛杉矶，华人医生数量很多，白人医生也都基本配有中文助理，孕妈在产检分娩时能够无障碍沟通。

    由于洛杉矶赴美生子产业发展较早，在医生医院费用这里，也会有更多的优惠，较美国其他地区有着绝对的价钱优势，孕妈分娩可以便宜一半左右的费用。

    Besides these factors, Los Angeles is the top choice for several other reasons:

    1. Large Chinese population, no language barrier

    Los Angeles has a Chinese population of nearly 800,000, mainly concentrated in Irvine, Corona, and Hacienda Heights, which are satellite cities of Los Angeles. Many Chinese people work in various industries in Los Angeles, especially in the service sector, where pregnant women can generally communicate in basic Chinese.

    There are many flights between Los Angeles and China, and airfares are very affordable. Many places have Chinese signs, and there are numerous Chinese supermarkets where you can buy many Chinese products, which is very helpful for families newly arriving in Los Angeles to give birth.

    2. Sunshine year-round, ideal for pregnant women's prenatal and postpartum periods

    Los Angeles has a temperate Mediterranean climate with fresh air and mild temperatures. It enjoys 286 days of sunshine a year, with an average temperature of 17.2°C, making it an ideal place for pregnant women to prepare for childbirth and recover postpartum.

    3. Abundant Chinese Doctors, Lower Fees

    Los Angeles has a large number of Chinese doctors, and most white doctors also have Chinese-speaking assistants, ensuring smooth communication for expectant mothers during prenatal checkups and delivery.

    Because the birth tourism industry in Los Angeles developed earlier, there are more discounts on doctor and hospital fees, offering a significant price advantage compared to other parts of the United States. Expectant mothers can pay about half the cost of childbirth.

    那么，洛杉矶可以选择什么区域？

    与中国不同的是，美国很少有本地人住在商业都市里，基本都住在环都市的卫星城中，因此，去洛杉矶生宝宝，其实就是住在洛杉矶周围的小城镇中。孕妈赴美生子基本都去这几个区域。

    1. 尔湾

    尔湾是月子中心的聚集地，房价贵、学区房多、生活便捷、社区商业配套完善，大多数孕妈都选择尔湾赴美生子。

    尔湾的华人区最好，房屋街道社区规划很好，整体干净整洁，住在尔湾的华人相比其他华人区素质要高，家庭更殷实，层次更高一档，离著名的南海岸购物中心很近，离海边也近，温度常年适宜，是度假游玩圣地，美福嘉儿月子中心就坐落在尔湾。

    2. 阿凯迪亚

    这里是华人月子中心的发源地，也是传统华人聚集区，阿凯迪亚附近的医院医生选择较多，区内医院也很了解华人的需求，孕妈产检生产比较方便。但由于早年同行恶意竞争，这里受到过当地政府的“关照”。

    3. 罗兰岗

    这里也是华人的聚集地带，华人超市林立，有许多方便华人生活的参观、医生诊所和美容院。

    由于这里华人较多，月子中心或民宿的选择也很多，价格相对比较便宜，适合完全DIY的家庭和英语交流有困难的家庭。这里地理位置优越，生活配套设施完善、医疗条件较好，但环境过于嘈杂，居民素质参差不齐。

    So, which areas in Los Angeles are good choices?

    Unlike China, in the US, few native-born residents live in major commercial cities. Most live in satellite towns surrounding the metropolitan area. Therefore, giving birth in Los Angeles essentially means living in one of the smaller towns surrounding the city. Pregnant women traveling to the US to give birth typically choose these areas:

    1. Irvine

    Irvine is a hub for maternity centers. It boasts high property prices, numerous good schools, convenient living, and well-developed community amenities, making it a popular choice for pregnant women.

    Irvine's Chinese community is considered the best, with well-planned housing, streets, and neighborhoods. The residents are generally more affluent and of a higher social standing compared to other Chinese communities. It's close to the famous South Coast shopping center and the beach, with a pleasant year-round temperature, making it a popular vacation destination. Meifu Jiaer Maternity Center is located in Irvine.

    2. Arcadia

    This is the birthplace of Chinese maternity centers and a traditionally Chinese community. Arcadia offers a wide selection of hospitals and doctors, and the hospitals there are well-informed about the needs of the Chinese community, making prenatal checkups and delivery convenient for pregnant women. However, due to malicious competition from other businesses in the past, this area has received some "special attention" from the local government.

    3. Rowland Heights

    This is also a predominantly Chinese area, with numerous Chinese supermarkets, and many shops, doctors' clinics, and beauty salons catering to the Chinese community.

    Because of the large Chinese population, there are many maternity centers and guesthouses to choose from, and the prices are relatively affordable, making it suitable for families who want to do everything themselves or those who have difficulty communicating in English. The location is excellent, with comprehensive living facilities and good medical conditions, but the environment is too noisy, and the residents' behavior varies greatly.

    总的来说，坐月子选月子会所首选洛杉矶，洛杉矶很适合在美国没有亲戚朋友，英语水平也不是很好，又追求一定的性价比的家庭。

    In general, Los Angeles is the top choice for postpartum care centers. It is suitable for families who do not have relatives or friends in the United States, whose English proficiency is not very good, and who are looking for a certain level of cost-effectiveness.
