More details to this question:
I'm from Mexico and came to the US on a tourist visa, which I overstayed. My boyfriend is American and we found out I'm pregnant. I don't have insurance and we would like to know if getting married is the best option to get my on his insurance, to give birth here and keep me here. Will a pregnancy make the procces more complicated ? Is there a chance I can't stay here but my child will have to?

You will you will likely be able to obtain lawful permanent residence of you marry a United States citizen. A definitive answer would rest on what your intentions were when you entered, how long you have been in the country, and when you learned of the pregnancy. The pregnancy will not complicate the matter. Your biyfriend will need to speak to his employer about health insurance benefits. I would encourage you and your boyfriend to consult an attorney to discuss the matter in detail.
