This is my second pregnancy, last time we went to Yvonne Heavyside who does the Matilda classes, she runs a fast-track antenatal course in the Bank of America tower just 3 two-hour sessions. I liked her manner, she puts you at ease. She also did some home visits and she was really good.
Anyone delivering in April?

Just had my first appointment at the public hospital. All went really well and was all done in less than an hour! This appointment was for Downs Syndrome screening. So happy I got to have that done for free, (Public hospitals are now screening everyone not just those over 35) as I thought I would have to go to a private doctor. Didn't actually realise that today's appointment was for the screening as everything they had given me was in Chinese - I did ask for English but when I first registered there was a whole lot of papers they gave me and I guess they accidentally gave me this one in Chinese but I didn't realise till I got home!
Luckily my husband was with me today so he got to see the ultrasound and the baby was kicking nicely for us! Also had some blood tests done - also for Downs Screening. Had to stick me in both arms as the first one didn't work! Ouch!!!

thanks for the info, i think i will try out the breathing class at Annerley on friday morning, i need a class to teach me how to meditate maybe i can sleep better at night hahaha, i might join the fast track antenatal class at a mother's touch first, and then decide after to go in a more detail class for either c section or the hynobirthing class in Annerley since I have no clue what kind of birth I really want to do yet
That's interesting, didn't know I could get the Down's screening for free with the public hospital, I am 33 so I thought I couldn't get one. Great info, I will try to see if I can arrange an appointment. I am 9 weeks and my doc told me that he would do it for me next time (in 4 weeks) would save a lot of money
Hi you all, nice to see so many spring mothers around here. I am also due late april and live in Sai Kung. This is my second pregnancy. The first one went great, including the delivery 15 months ago 
Hope I'll be lucky this time too.
Does any one of you have any experience of Prince of Wales or United christian Hospital?

Great to hear from so many of you. I've been wondering about the antenatal classes too. When do I start, where do I go, what type of exercises should I be doing, etc., etc. Since we seem to have quite a few moms now, why don't we set a date to get together some time? There may be some moms who are still feeling a bit sick so why don't we give them some more time to come around and set the date to around October 20 or 21? Give me your opinions and suggestions as to where we should meet. I live on HK island.
