Prior to 1976, a US citizen baby could confer lawful permanent residence upon its parents. The law was changed so that the child now has to be 21 to petition for parents. Therefore you will obtain no additional immigration rights through the birth of the child. By the same token, your husband will also not be able to benefit.
