Due June 2014

Hi!

Hope it's ok to join you - I am due June 10th with my second (the first is only 11 months - uh oh!). Would be keen to meet up but I also can't do this weekend as we are at a wedding (a little bit worried about my evening bloat making me look quite pregnant in my nice dresses by the end of the day - it's easier to hide under jeans and jumpers!)

We've had our 8 week scan but only told a couple of people - I can't cope with our over-excited families when am feeling sooooo sick...

Hope everyone is feeling well?
 
Hi AnnieC! Welcome to the group :)

I've been feeling pretty nauseous too over the last couple of weeks - hope you're feeling better soon! I've started carrying around little packets of plain crackers in my handbag, as I feel far sicker when I'm hungry - are you the same?
 
Hi, I just found out a couple of weeks ago that I'm pregnant and due around June 22. We moved to Hong Kong not too long ago, and don't know what I should be doing next, check out hospitals and define where to have the baby? Or find the right obgyn first and then book a hospital? This is my second child, first is 20 months old but he wasn't born here.

Would love to meet up, my time is flexible on afternoons.
 
Hi BBmum,

I think it is usual (assuming you're talking about the private system rather than public) to choose your Obgyn first then often they handle the hospital booking on your behalf. Mine does anyhow! The wrinkle to this is that not all Obgyns deliver at all hospitals so if you had a strong hospital preference it is worth checking that your Obgyn practices there when booking in. I was pregnant with my first when we moved to HK - I remember being very confused by the system! The Facebook group Hong Kong Moms is very good for doctor recommendations and I think there was a big discussion on the different hospitals a few weeks ago which might be useful?

Dbkiwi - yes so much sicker when I'm hungry (I keep digestive biscuits by the bed!) and also when in the car, which is horrible. Hopefully not much longer till it eases off!

Hi BBMom! I'm due June 21 so we're very close!!

I'm going to go the public route I think with some private obstetrician appts along the way - the public system seems good, and we just can't afford the fees for private really. I'm still figuring out the system though and quite clueless myself - this forum has been really helpful though :)
 
Hello Ladies!

I am due around June 10th and I would love to meet other soon-to-be mothers! Unfortunately, I am working every Saturday so please keep me posted on your next meeting!
 
Hi Annieclau,

Congratulations! Would love to meet up, I'm sure there will be many more times we will catch up, we could do a Sunday or week night if that suits better? Will definitely let you know if we organise another time/day.

Thank you Sarah! Yes, Sundays or week night (except Tuesdays) are better for me. I really look forward to meeting you all!
