Catan and Cherina - I got a private room at the Union Hospital when I was 6 months along. The hospital is newer and nicer than Matilda and the rooms are beautiful. But they are in Shatin so they do not tend to get a large expat clientele. But so far, I have found all the staff to be friendly, helpful, and with sufficient English skills. Moreover, they have tried to accommodate all the requests on my birth plan for a natural delivery, baby-rooming in, etc. If you have insurance or if the money or location is not a problem for you, I would recommend looking into the Union. PM me if you have further questions or need to see a specific doctor there.
