anyways congratulations!
Hi Janenyc and all!
First off, congrats! I also just found out that I'm pregnant (probably about 9 weeks along). I called Dr. Patrick Chan's office and for patients that aren't delivering with him in a private hospital, his earliest appointment is October 31, 2011. I've scheduled a consultation with Dr. Chan Kuen-Ting in CWB for tomorrow so I can send you a PM afterwards if you'd like to know of our thoughts.
Hope that you're doing great and surviving the HK heat!

Hi Aldv, I'd also be interested in hearing how your appointments with Dr. Chan Kuen-Ting have been. Could you let me know? Thx!
I'm looking for a private doctor who'd be willing to see patients delivering in a public hospital. I just called Dr. Patrick Chan's office and the earliest appointment they could give me (for delivering in a public hospital) is early February!
If anyone has any other recommendations, I'm all ears!

dr lam
i did not have insurance when pregnant. i need by scans privately with dr lam in central . His bedside manner is a bit brusque but he is amazingly clever at interpreting scans. he specialises in scans but also has good obs knowledge.
my baby nuchal fold was 4.9 (in uk they advise to terminate...). dr lam did a cvs and a through scan and said he was confident my baby was ok and just big.
he was right.. my baby came in just under 4kg and is big like his dad!!! i will always be grateful to dr lam for being so positive throughout mu pregnancy.
you do not need to deliver with him to get scans

Would second Damienmum. Had dr lam for two pregnancies and his interpreation of scans is incredible!
For #2 I was recommended by my original by my original doc to get the amnio cause the Oscar results came out borderline...he did a coup,scans and said he could guarantee that my daughter was more than fine and that results from the oscars are not 100% reliable And that scans are the most reliable (you got to do the Well though!)
For #3 he saw that my sons right kidney was more pronounced that the left T 35wks. As a result he referred me to a pediatrian that is also a kidney specialist ....dr Richard chiu...
Very grateful for his skills...must say his bedside manner was fine with me as I had teo kids delivered by him, but he is slow to warm. Good ing is though he's is there from the minute you get admitted to hospital.

Alot of doctors refer mums to Dr Lam for the 12 week scan as he specialises in this.
Another option if you have a relatively straightforward pregnancy is to go to Annerley Midwives in Central for your prenatal check ups. They have a variety of options and packages and are cheaper than going to a doctor. I found Hulda very good. She is a good listener and has excellent suggestions on any difficulties you have with the pregnancy.
I went to the Queen Mary hospital for check ups at 30 weeks. The wait is not as bad as in the UK. I had a slightly complicated pregnancy and they made sure I got the best medical treatment. I was rhesus negative (only 0.5% of asians are and i was one of them!) The rhesus negative injections is very expensive privately (about $3000 each and i needed two). All i had to do was wait for 1.5hours at the queen Mary for them. The Queen Mary were great about me using Dr Lam privately and looked at my reports from him as well.

Hi aldv,
Would like to know about your apt with Dr Chan Kueng Tin. Would appreciate if you can briefly share your experience with him. Any recommendation ( going first time to a gynac).
