Welcome back to GeoBaby

Hello everyone... i am 11 weeks pregnant and my EDD is 11th March. I am 9 months old in HK and very very confused about the private vs public delivery debate. Currently, i am seeing Dr Ghosh, but don't think i can afford a private hospital delivery. What is everybody else considering? Any suggestions and talk would be helpful. This is my second pregnancy and my first one was about 5 years ago... and i have a little girl already!!

If you have your HK ID card then I would say go public, might not have the same bedside manner as your home country but it is very affordable.

I'm not going to see any private doctors, despite it being my first pregnancy.

And also welcome PAC!

Hi PAC,
I know what you mean about the confusion on the systems here! I'm seeing a private Dr at the Women's clinic in central, but planning to deliver in public hospital.
Hoping that the mix will give me the pre-birth reassurance but without having to go private the whole way, crazy prices.

Hi there

I'm due in March and was wondering if anyone has been working out and what you all recommend? I have low motivation for excersise at the best of times so it's been a headache to start!

Let me know if anyone keen for walks up the peak or similar!

I've been going swimming, and I've found it to be great. Really stretched my muscles and got rid of some of my aches. Other than swimming I go for a 20 min walk at least once a week.

Listen to your body! If you really are fatigued, then you should rest. Otherwise, walking 20 minutes per day is probably a good idea. I am getting back into a regular yoga practice with some modifications this week since I practiced regularly before pregnancy. Looking forward to having more energy soon.

Hi everyone, my EDD is March 10. I swim 1-2 a week as my doctor recommended that it is best and for sure when we start getting heavier. In addition if my energy level allows me, I like to have a walk around the Peak. Not the hike up (which I loved to do), but that cirle around the Peak which takes approx. 45 minutes.

How's everyone doing? I'm counting down to the end of the first trimester - two more days to go to Week 13! Hoping it brings with it less nauseau/vomiting and more energy!
