Due in March 2008

I haven't discussed birth plans with my Dr. Last time I saw her, she said it was too early. I have started my research on getting a paeditrician though.. Has anyone started on this? Any names you would recommend or is recommended to you? Thanks and Happy 2008.. it will be such an exciting year !!
 
Dear all March 08 moms to be,

I'm Florence and it's now in the middle of my 29wks. This is my first baby and it's going to be a girl. I live at Tseung Kwan O. Anyone of you live close by? Perhaps we could meet up for a coffee chat at the MetroCity.

In regards of birthplan, simply share your thoughts w/ur pediatrican and he/she should be able to discuss further w/u.

Anyhow, Happy New Year to you all!

All OBs have a "partner" paediatrician whom they cross-refer - but of course you are not obligated to use him/her. In my case, I did talk it over with my OB (Philip Ho) during the last visit and he refers Dr. Joseph Pang. (Dr Pang is well-known but comments on him from this forum have been quite negative.)

On the other hand, the demands on the paed aren't that high at that initial hospital stage (delivery and daily hospital checks on the baby) so most paeds should be fine and it's easy to switch to someone else afterwards. That's why I think I'll probably go with my OB's suggestion to start with, and maybe later switch to someone else, if I find that I don't like/relate well to Dr. Pang.
 
In terms of Paediatrician recommendations, here are some of the names that I've heard from friends and/or this forum:
(in no particular order)
Drs. Tanpa Thondup, Dannie Ting, Thomas Chan, Richard Chiu, Yvonne Ou and Maurice Leung.
 
Peainpod-I have a friend who tried Joseph Pang, and didn't like it..apparently Maurice Leung is the favorite.

MaiYe-I live in East Mid Levels in HK Island, but can drive to Metrotown to meet up.. I am still working fulltime, but can meet for dinner or during weekends. We should try to set a date and see if other Moms and Moms-to-be can join. How about Saturday 19 Jan, say for lunch?
 
I go to Dr Gosh and he partners with Dr Thandup I have seen him with children and he is wonderful. For a child not to want to leave a Doctors office says alot I have seen this not once but on several occasions. My friend also goes to Dr Thandup and just says he got a real connection with kids so definitely will be going to him.
 
Thanks CXFlygirl.. I think I will try him out.. How is everyone doing? I am 32 weeks now.. getting anxious for my baby to come out !! How much has everyone gained? I was so shocked to find I have gained 15 kg.. feeling like a big elephant lately.
 
31 weeks now put on about 25 pounds.. feeling great but my heels really hurt when I walk to long so I go for reflexology every week which seems to help with the pain and also leg cramps. Sleeping is getting uncomfortable but only 7 days left of work and then I will stop for a few years so looking forward to that
