Hi. I'm new to Hong Kong and am 9 weeks pregnant with my first baby - due early Jan. Would love to meet anyone else in the same boat!!

Hi carlymw,

Congratulations! I'm 9 weeks pregnant too with my first. Have you been to any appointments yet?

 

[carlymw]

Yes lyukl! We had our first appointment and scan yesterday. It's all getting so exciting. How about?

 

[lyukl]

Ah, that's fab! So exciting having that first scan isn't it?

We had our first appointment and scan at 7 weeks with a private OB. We've also signed up for the Annerley package, so we are going for a midwife check up and scan next week.
Which route are you going? Private or public? I'm going to delivery baby at Queen Mary but will be using a private OB for prenatal checkups.
Where in HK are you located?

 

[carlymw]

Oh nice! We are going private, we will be having the baby at the Matilda. My next scan isn't until 12 weeks. Can't wait to see how much the baby has grown! Are you finding out what you're having? We are in wan chai. Where abouts are you?

 

[lyukl]

We are in Mid-levels. Ah, no ideas on whether we are going to find out what we're having yet. Are you? What date are you due? Looks like we'll be in Hong Kong over the Christmas hols then, haha.

 

[carlymw]

No we're not finding out...I'd love to but my husband won't let me! It will be a nice surprise. We are due the 4th of January. What date are you? Haha yes !! We've had to change our Christmas plans!

[Vonzi]

Hi there I am thinking of queen Mary too , but I still haven't decided , I'm only around 5 weeks and haven't had any scans or anything done yet . Gonna get it checked firs thing tomorrow

 

[lyukl]

Carlymw, I'm due 4th Jan too. Haha.

Vonzi, congrats! I definitely recommend going to Annerley to see them for a free consultation. They detail everything you need to know about post-natal care and delivery in the public or private system. Really helped us to make our decision easier.
