Newly pregnant with no clue!

Hi all!

I am very newly pregnant and have absolutely no clue if I'm meant to sit back and relax for a few months, or whether I need to start booking stuff.

Thoughts? Advice? Someone tell me what to do!

I do know this much - we don't have medical insurance, beyond what is covered by our employers - so we'll be opting for the Queen Mary hospital.

So now do we pick the doctor, then mid-wife? I have no idea what I am doing!

Please help!

THANKS
 
Congrats dear!

With Queen Mary, you cannot choose your own doctor and midwife.. But your records is in their system so that won't be a problem..

Also, you cannot just choose QMH just because you wanted to.. Your hospital will depends on where you live. As they will require you to provide address proof. They will send you to hospital that covers your area.
 
Thanks prettynvain. I will do all the registering and so on today and take it from there.

Cheers!
 
Hi, I'm as clueless as jhl. Newly pregnant and newly arrived in HK. :) Can I know if I can choose QMH? I live in Causeway Bay and hoping to go to QMH.
 
Yes, Causeway Bay is in the catchment area for QMH. I think the boundary is around Tin Hau. You could possibly choose between QMH and Pamela Youde because you are somewhat borderline. If I were pregnant and had no medical complications, I would prefer Pamela Youde because it has special accommodation wards which are small shared rooms with longer visiting hours for about $7000 for the whole stay. QMH only has the option of the public ward, or fully private which can cost upwards of $100K.
 
Thanks Nicolejoy.... Love your blog!! <3<3<3
I have other questions:
1. How do I register for the QMH ward tour? Is it still available on every Saturday 11am?
2. If I would like to be half-half Public and Private, how does that work. I read on the article but I have no idea what it means...
:D Thanks dear for taking trouble to answer my questions.
