Hi everyone.
Great to see so many ppl in the forum

@lavendar, yes I figured out the QMH system. Hv been called for a first doc visit there in early jan. In the meantime I m due for my 2nd visit to Sally next week. She's a darling for sure. Btw just wanted to ask u that the visit to public doctor will be in QMH or tsan yuk hospital? M a little confused here.
M definitely in for the meet up on 20th or 22nd. Whenever. It's cool with me. Let me know.
Cheers

Hi Everyone,
I am 9 weeks pregnant, due around mid July, I am trying to figure out the pre-natal care, I think we will be going public for the first trimester as our insurance doesn't cover us until Feb. I am on Lantau, so trying to work out which hospital to go too. They all seem a long way to go when labour starts! This is my fifth baby, but my first in HK, so feeling a bit nervous! I am glad to be able to chat to other Mum's expecting around the same time. Looking forward to the end of January when I hope not to be feeling sick any more!
Best wishes

Looks like there are quite a few of us in the same boat! I had my first ultrasound this morning and was surprised to find I'm 8.5 weeks, not 7 as earlier thought. Due date now fixed for July 27, so I only just qualify for this forum!
Seems there are a few of us away over Christmas, how about we try to meet up on Jan 11th some time in the afternoon? Anyone know any good places to meet?

Hey Mariababy,
I went to Tsan Yuk hospital - had my first appointment there yesterday. Bring a book, there is a lot of sitting around! They just did a blood test and asked a few questions. Am having twins so going back tomorrow to meet a doctor, but not sure that I'll go to all the appointments after that if I am seeing Sally. Will you?
Jan 11 would be great and sounds like most people will be back then. Since a few of us are in Happy Valley, maybe we could meet at the Starbucks or Classified there?

Hi ladies, I went to Tsan yuk on Wednesday for first appt. As lavender mentions, take a book!
Just a heads up though, I was just expecting it to be registration and after a while a lady gave a few of us a briefing in English and mentioned that they might be able to do the downs syndrome test that day, but probably not. I (perhaps very stupidly!) assumed this would just be the blood test bit anyway, but it turned out they were able to do the ultrasound bit too. Since this now seems to replace 12 week ultrasound am now very disappointed that I didn't get my husband along so he could see it! Just thought I'd mention it in case your husbands/partners can make it as they might spring an ultrasound on you. Also they can share in the waiting around boredom!!
I am in kennedy town so happy valley ok for me for meeting up in the new year.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the heads up. I had my appt with Sally last week n found out that m 10 weeks pregnant. She's given a due date of 16th July for me. I and my husband saw the baby in the ultrasound. I was overwhelmed n in tears! She's so far taken my blood for thalassemia test. That's part of her routine screening.
My appt at tsan yuk is on 2nd jan. Thanks for letting me know what to expect. Is the Down syndrome test compulsory? I m not sure whether I want to do it. Still giving it a thought. What are the other blood tests they do at tsan yuk? N what are their charges like?
Hey lavender, congrats on ur twins dear. Awesome. I m cool with 11th jan. Let's target that then.
Lots of best wishes to all.

Hi mariababy
Just wondering, what is involved for the Downs syndrome test that they offer in the public system? Im going through the private system, but the Dr proposed running the NIFTY TEST which comes with an expensive price tag. I heard from friends that the Dr should be able to do a ultrasound to measure the neck skin which might indicate if further testing for Downs is required. Do you or anyone else have experience in the testing for Downs ?
