Hello,
I am pretty certain your child will take on whatever citizenship you have, but this is a question you should perhaps present to the British High Commission as soon as possible.
For advise about Doctors, again this is something to ask at the High Commission, should be able to give references there as well.
If not visit my blog site and send me a note, and I will see what names I can gather up as referrals for you.
Most Embassies in Kingston have resource people to provide advise. Do your research well.

You would probably be best to start looking for private medical care inthe area where you will live. If you are traveling to Jamaica just to have the baby and can travel anywhere then Montego Bay is known to have the best medical facilities. That does not say much though and you may want to look into what kind of medical care you will get. Jamaica is not known for havig the best hospitals and even the best private care is below the standards of what you will find in developed nations. I recently was involved in a car accident with a broken leg and I have seen the best this country has to offer and it was poor in my opinion.
I would describe the public hospitals in Sav La Mar, Mandeville and Montego Bay to be below human standards. Some of what I saw was archaic if not medieval. Everythng was below US standards and would not be allowed in any hospital in America. I routinely waited 24 hours or more for proper wound care and ended up with infections because of it. I waited a total of 8 days to have a cast put on my broken leg.
I'm sure there is a great private maternity facility somewhere in Jamaica but make sure you find it before you move here to have your baby.
Look in Montego Bay. Ask you insurance company if you have one.
Search these locations online for more hospitals and medical facilities in Jamaica:
