Hi All,

Sorry I've been feeling a bit under the weather these past couple of days. It's awful. Poor baby hasn't been able to sleep with my constant coughing!!!

Re lunch, I think it'll be best for me to wait til next week - to let myself fully recover and also cos I'm anticipating a hectic week at work (with new club opening!!). Next Wed/Thur would be better for me. But if it's not suitable for others, then no worries!

Sorry you've been so sick!! I hope you get better soon!!

My MIL is visiting, getting in next week on Tuesday, so I don't know if I can do lunch then - maybe I can sneak away though - I know I'll need a break

And I heard the same thing about Tsan Yuk - that you can only register after 10 weeks (I'm 10 weeks tomorrow) - and only on Wednesday or Saturday. I think maybe I'll go register on Wednesday of next week, maybe...

Hi everyone

Just wondered if anyone had any advice re hospitals. At the moment I'm on the waiting list for Matilda but I have been accepted at the Adventist.

The Adventist want a deposit which is not returned if you decide not to go there. Has anyone heard good things re the Adventist? or is it a risk holding out for Matilda? slightly scary amount of money to pay what seems to be so early in a pregnancy!

P.S Wednesday or Thursday is good for me for lunch

Smiles,

I have heard good things about Adventist. They have a jacuzzi tub in the labour room to help ease the pain and the tub opens on the side so you don't have to climb out!

The rooms are nice too.

Why don't you go and have a look and see if you like the environment. I did tours of all the hospitals when I was pregnant with my first so that I know what I am paying for.

To be honest, the 'scare' about not getting a room was last year when a lot of mainlanders came to HK to give birth PLUS it was the year of the Golden Pig, which was super good to have babies. I am not sure if this year will be as congested as last, but none of my friends had problems in the end with their chosen hospital even if they were on waitlist, they got in. Hope that gives you some comfort.

Hi Bubbly

Thanks so much for the advice. Doing a tour sounds like a great idea.

12 week scan tomorrow, very excited!

Hello everyone - so tomorrow is my first appt at Tseun Yak - I am so excited - Purple flower thank you for reminding me that it is Wednesday not tuesday my baby brain is not great!! I am excited/scared - I always faint a blood tests - pathetic but true!

Still feeling so tired I can barely get up to go to work. I am starting to show quite a bit now - I always used to have such a flat tummy that I already seem huge - my husband is a bit freaked out already bless him!

Now when shall we get together - Is Central ok for everyone or how about Discovery Bay for lunch at the weekend???

 

[nicolejoy]

Weekends are bad for me because I work on Saturday and am involved in church on Sunday - but maybe we can plan two get togethers - that way hopefully everyone can go to at least one of them!

I was planning on going to Tsan Yuk today but I got lazy... ah well, maybe next week

 

[kharel]

OK Tsun Yak today and all good, they were great and very organised and sweet to me. They took 6 tubes of blood but no scan I am desperate to see the baby - I think I might go private just for one scan so I can see the baby - I know it sounds silly but I am dying to see him/her....

Hi everyone

We went for our 12 week scan today. So fantastic to see fingers, hands and baby jumping around! Dr couldn't tell if it's a boy or a girl so we'll just have to wait a little longer.

Ruchee - from what I know nausea varies so much from each pregnancy. I've had no nausea (lucky me!) but I also have a friend who spent most of the first 3 months over a bowl!

Does anyone want to pick a date and place for a meet up? Putting it out there but how about Monday 14th? (gives people time to get organised?)

I've only been here 3 months so hoping someone else will have a good suggestion of where.
