I went to Annerley today for an extra scan (I am 16 weeks now) to find out the sex of the baby. My baby didn't want to reveal herself/himself yet, even crossed her legs during the scan. She tried really hard, we had a 45mins scan but no success. Have to come back in a few days and try again ;-)
Congrats ladies. I'm heading for my 9th week scan this weekend. Really hoping that all'd be well. So far, feeling super exhausted - in the mornings, I can barely drag myself to work. Just want to be horizontal all the time! How are you beating the fatigue?
Cranlemon, may I check on the maternity clinic in Wan Chai you are going to? Is it the one at Southern? We live in Wan Chai but are registered with Tsan Yuk as it's supposed to be the feeder clinic for QMH. But if we can do the checks at Wan Chai, that's better, distance-wise.
Meanwhile, am supplementing with private visits. Went to a Dr Grace Ying Wong at Harbour City, who seems experienced if a little lacking in bedside manners.

Hi Kartaly,
I go to the Tai Chi Ngong Clinic in Wanchai on Queens Road East. It's quite efficient and the nurses are nice there, everyone speaks English. Link here
Family Health Service - Maternal and Child Health Centres
They don't do ultrasound but I did my preliminary blood and urine tests there and I have to go back in my 14th week for another checkup.
I'm still deciding between public and private. Our insurance will cover up to 60,000 of delivery costs. I checked with my private obstetrician who will charge 23,000 and I checked with HK Sanitarum which will charge 16,000 for a maternity package in a general ward. I thought this puts me well under my 60k cap but my obstetrician told me that it will be more like 80,000 because of "hidden costs" that add up from the hospital. Does anyone have any experience with this particularly at Sanitarium?
