Great Ultra sound doctor.

[Kay2008]

Hi Rachrobin,
Thanks so much for the reply. Just wondering which hospital you are delivering at? I've seen in a previous thread that you are in Kowloon too - i am thinking of going to a private ob gyn but deliver in a public hospital (our insurance will def not cover us for the hkd100000+ !) - which one would you recommend - prince of wales, mt elizabeth, st teresa..?

Sorry for throwing so many questions at you! Don't know too many people here yet and feeling quite overwhlemed with all these decisions!

Hi Kay2008,
I'm also new to the HK health-care system, newly pregnant and living in Kowloon. I too do not have maternity coverage so my husband and I decided to register with the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and supplement care privately. I recently had a visit with Dr. Yau Hon Wai in Mong Kok, which I DO NOT recommend. Instead I'll try Dr. Wong Kar Mau that everybody is raving about.

4D Ultra Sound with DVD

Sounds like a awesome doctor nataliekaye, will keep him in mind for the next scan. Nice to not be rushed out the door. Does he give you a DVD copy of the sessions too?

Does anyone know a doctor that gives you a DVD of the session as well as photos? Really keen to get one at my 20 week scan which is not too far away so need to book soon.

hi

I saw Dr Shell Wong in TST for a 4D ultra sound when I 1st came back from Canada early this month.

He gives you a DVD of all scan, 14 photos and a detailed report. If you like you can message me back and I would be glad to give you his contact number.

any one knows how early into the pregnancy can we do the 4 D scan?

I remember being told it was ideal to do between 28-32 weeks. I did mine at 34 weeks and it was great - but really depends on the position the baby is in and how free it is to move.

A lot of my friends who went to private doctors had a 4D scan at every check up.

My doctor (I think his name's Dr Lam, at the Hong Kong Prenatal Diagnostic Clinic, or whatever it's called) said 30 weeks was the best time for the scan. I booked for 31 weeks but then he had to deliver a baby!! So I'm going on Saturday when I'll be getting closer to 32 weeks. I'm hoping it's not too tight in there to see the baby well!!

Hi

I was told by my ob that the 4D scan to be done by 20 weeks so that they would be able to check if the baby is normal and make sure there is no abnornality.

In case if there is anything wrong they would have more time and option to disucss it with the parents. Sorry I was so blunt and straight forward

I think most abnormalities, they can screen for fine on the 2D ultrasound at 20 weeks - I actually had TWO of them done, and it's a lot of measuring the internal stuff - bone sizes, kidneys, the chambers of the heart. I think that for that, they MUST use 2D because they're looking at cross sections. I don't think that 4D does cross sections, only external features...

I actually had my 4D done today (at 31 weeks) and it's all surfaces that they can see. EVERYTHING else, they still used 2D for all the internal stuff...

Here's my baby:

i had my 4D done a month ago. I was about 24 weeks pregnant then.
