So my wife and I stopped by Chaoyang Hospital to reserve a room for her delivery next year, and were told we need to have a 母子健康档案 in order to reserve the room. The problem is, it seems you need to have a Beijing hukou in order to get this, but neither me or my wife is Chinese and we don't even know who to speak to about the process for getting a 母子健康档案. I can't believe that a foreigner has never reserved a room to give birth in a Chinese hospital before, so I'd love to hear from those more knowledgeable than us how a couple of foreigners in Beijing can get the 母子健康档案 to give birth in a Chinese hospital.

Cheers
