@cking729,
I'm in the same boat. I will be covered under my parent until I am 26. I am 24 now and will have my baby in mid October. We originally thought the baby would be covered under my dad as well since I am considered his dependent but that is not the case. According to my obgyn there is a case worker on staff who speaks to the mothers following delivery and you can apply then. Maybe it's just in CA but both my mother (who retired from the county) and my dr said you cannot apply until after the baby is born. As far as medical visits for the baby my mom says if approved by Medicare will cover any previous appointment as well.
