Be VERY careful.

This is the "anchor child" senario and is a stunt used by illegal immigrants.

The septic INS has about as much sence of humour as our ATO.......

Perhaps have a read through http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis

They might have some info regarding this situation there?

America does not allow dual citizenship.

Rupert Murdoch needed to drop his Aussie citizenship when he moved to the US in order to expand.

If he couldn't do it, nobody can.

Can't help with the 2nd part, sorry.

It does now, we we were living there and my wife was pregnant, should she have given birth in the USA, even though we were Non Resident Aliens, the child would have been an American citizen, and would of needed to apply for dual citizenship (I know its ok for Australian's now) to be honest when we looked at the drama's we would have had to go through, it wasnt worth the issue. I dont know about anyone else, but I would travel the world on a Australian passport a million times before I travelled on a US one, the aussie one is one that gets you into just about anywhere without a hassle. Also if person A is only 7 weeks pregnant, they will need to go on a special visa anyway as tourist visa's under the waiver program are only valid for around 90 days.
