thanks for the contacts
Thanks for all the replies. I'd love to meet up with you at some time (will be around mid August after the summer hols.). I will be delivering naturally (hopefully) at Queen Mart's hospital in Pok Fu Lam. I'm a bit conerned about how far it is from Ma Wan but I've recieved such good care so far and I'm comfortable with the hospital so I don't really want to change. Anyone had similar experinces? I was particularly freaked when I heard someone delivered their baby on the Discovery Bay ferry last week!!
I may be up for buying baby stuff (alanrigg) but later. Still in the throws of moving, changing jobs, preparing for baby and finding an amah all at the same time (might as well get it all done at once!!!).
Has anyone flown late on in pregnancy? I'm returning from France when I am 31 weeks pregnant. BA are fine with me flying as long as I can get a letter from a French doctor saying I am fit to fly. I'm a bit dubious about the whole thing. I'm also having trouble getting a letter from a Hong Kong doctor (Tsan Yuk and Wan Chai say they wont do it). I'm perfectly fit and healthy so don't really get what the problem is. Advice gratefully recieved.

Hi again!
Two years ago, my sister in law flew from Germany to Korea around the same time you are planning to return from France (i.e. around one month before the delivery, in order to deliver in Korea). Since she had a healthy pregnancy, it was not a problem at all for her, so I am hoping you will also be fine. But I think she had some problem because Lufthansa woudn't take her (even with a doctor's letter), but the Korean airline company did. So maybe you should first check with the airline companies.
P.S. Are you French? Well, I am Korean but spent almost half of my life in France.

Thanks for your advice. I've checked with British Airways and they will take me. It's just getting the letter I'm a little concerned with. I'm not French (English actually) but alot of our family live in France and we have a farmhouse there as well. Do you speak much French (mine is slow but hopefully improving). Do you know what the French medical system is like. I need to go for an antenatal check up while I am there and try to get a letter from a doctor to O.K me for flying.
