Hi everyone, I have just moved to HK (my second tour) and living in the Midlevels. My due date is on 18th July and someone suggested to me that it would be really nice to get in contact with other mums-to-be. Is there a group that meets regularly in and around the area? I am not working and am here by myself so am pretty flexible during the week!

Hi guys, I'm due on July 26th. Now i'm on my 31 week + 3 days. We need to fly to Hongkong before my 36th week (per Cathay Pacific Airline Policy). Has anyone have problem with long-haul flight from USA? This is my first baby and I have no medical problems.

I already did all my ultrasounds, all the blood test and glucose test. And I would like to know what other steps I need to do when I'm in Hongkong? I do not know where I can find Birth Class ( i will miss the class in USA), Prenatal Yoga, and what others I need to do or find out. The only I know I'll begin to see doctor every 2 weeks to one week. I will be staying close to Prince Edward Station.

BKtse,

Welcome to Hong Kong! The flight is going to be uncomfortable. The trick is to get up, walk around and drink plenty of water. Also bring your own snacks.

You can take antenatal classes in HK. Annerely, the Family Zone, A Mother's Touch are a few places

Anyone can help me? I still don't understand why I need midwives? In US, we only use one doctor which is your OBGYN doctor. Is it a must to have midwives? And I still confuse with Antenatal Care program/Classes, what classes i should take, there's so many of them and i'm really confuse!!! Again, in US use one program and one word -Birth Class (which includes Labor, coping after birth, breast feeding, etc), that's all we need to take although i haven't take it yet.
Anyone can guide me what I need to do and understand more about the options too instead of the websites seems pretty confusing!

Unfortunately they all have 10-12 months waiting periods. So you won't be able to use it this time, but for your next pregnancy.
