Due Date - Jan 2015

Yea, that's a good idea. I know they have this half & half package (public + private), which is quite attractive. However, I wish their classes were on weekends, so that my husband and I both can go to them.
 
Thx! Congrats on your pregnancy emch1224! That's cute, I wish I could have taken a longer look at my baby via ultrasound, the private doctor seemed quite rushed. I can't wait for my next ultrasound!

I have announced my pregnancy to 2 close friends, my sister, and my husband's parents (as we are staying with them for the time being). It's really hard to hide those pregnancy symptoms, and it's been much easier this way. But definitely will wait the 12 week mark before announcing it to my parents and other friends.

My first scan to test for down syndrome is also in the 12th week. I am not even sure what type of scan it is, I think just the regular one. It costs 1700 at the private hospital. Where will you be getting your OSCAR scan done?
 
I'm doing the 'best of both worlds' package. But the classes are all in the evenings so hopefully you could do that? My husband is away a lot but hopefully he will be able to make a lot of them - fingers crossed!
 
Hi kkangeroo, I'm pretty sure it's 6:30-8:30 but they do also do one where they pack it all into a weekend. That might work better for you and your husband. It's worth giving them a call to talk about it, they are really helpful
 
I think the OSCAR scan is a blood test and an ultrasound. I can't wait. I heard it takes a while to take the measurements so you're just lying there watching your baby on the screen. I'm doing my at a clinic at Central, his name is Dr Lam (sorry, forgot his first name).

Annerley is amazing hey! When are you planning to start the classes KTownbaby?
 
I will have my Nifty test this weekend.

Anyone interest to have the Antenatal classes for childbirth together, I have registered The Adventist Hospital in Aug for 4 sessions conducted in English from nutrition, breathing techniques, stages of labor, care of newborn and breastfeeding.
 
Hey @KTownbaby and @pollyrafiq,

I don't know if i am super unorganised or what but I haven't really PLANNED my antenatal classes yet... i still think its too early... i haven't bought or signed up for much since I found out I was pregnant because I didn't want to jinx anything (haha). I;m currently 10 weeks and probably won't look into securing anything until 12 weeks (or after my OSCAR results).

I am definitely going with Annerley's classes though because they seem to know what they're talking about and I found them to be quite personal and approachable. At how many weeks are we supposed to be taking these classes? Everything in Hong Kong seems like it gets booked out in a blink of an eye!

Em x
 
@ emch1224, HK is a super fast city and if you do not enroll sooner than the course starts, the chance might be you have to be waitlisted, I am 10 weeks pregnancy too nothing will be too early or too soon when take things slowly than last minute rush, the course will be held in Aug.
