Hi Everyone

Im apparently on a wait list for St. Paul, but I've heard it is very 'local', meaning the nurses do not speak much English, the facilities are run down and they do not help in terms of assisting with breast-feeding (most locals immediately bottle feed). I'm really panicking about the lack of hospital rooms. Nobody on here seems to have the same concerns (at least no replies to my comments re hospital beds) - I'm just wondering if everyone else has rooms booked somewhere?

I think Language is not a issue as most nurse in HK are educated in English in Uni... I got an offer from St. Paul almost immediately after my OB booked the bed, so I took the option and paid a deposit there. My OB said that St. Paul is very good with very skilled midwifes & nurses, Matilda is popular only for the language reason.
 
I am due Nov 12th with my first, been in HK for a year and a half and am now working part time from home so it'd be great to meet other women also expecting! I live on Bonham Road. Has anything been set up for June? Would love to meet!
 
Hi girls, I am due Nov 1st with our second baby. We already have a 2 year old boy and I am still in touch with moms from my old due date club :). It would be great to meet everyone. If anything has been set up for June, I would love to join.
 
Hello!
I'm expecting my first baby in October, if there's/could be a meet up earlier or end of June(will be out of town in the middle), would love to join! thanks :)
 
Hi I'm due 3 December with my first baby. Is there a gathering of expectant mums end of June? Thanks

aap, have you tried HK Sanitorium hospital? I just changed my OB and had no problems to book there. Also try Matilda but with both you need to find the OB who is a registered OB in that hospital. You can call the hospital to ask who is taking on new patients.

Catch up in June?

Hello All,

I am pregnant with my second baby due early Nov. We live in Yuen Long and I work on the island.

I missed the May meeting, is anything happening in June?

Cheers,

Kate
