Starting things off

[MamaTjops]

Hi ladies,

Well there won't be any of us in December yet but there must be a few people on the forum due in Oct at least... i am due Oct 10th - at the moment anyway, i'm sure that will change.

Am going private for consultations and public for the birth at Queen Elizabeth since my hubby and i live on the dark side.

How is everyone's morning sickness going - mine is not just morning for me! And i have awful cramping but have had this checked everything is fine. Looking forward to 12 weeks when i can go public i hate keeping the exciting news to myself!

Hi! Congratulations on your pregnancy.
I'm due Oct 12 with my 1st and am so excited! I'm also waiting for the end of my 1st trimester to shout it out to the world; it just seems like forever to wait, though.

Hi LFK,

Thanks for the reply... Congrats on yours too. Waiting until the end of the first trimester has proven very difficult as my morning sickness has kicked into high gear and there's something a little conspicuous about getting up in the middle of a meeting to run to the bathroom - at least when you do it umpteen times a day. Cannot wait for the second trimester, when everyone keeps telling me i'll feel better...

Hi congrats to you both on the pregnancy I am due Oct 25th with baby # 2. Yes the 2nd trimester is going to be so much better although I have been lucky with no morning sickness so far. Just have to keep exercising although with this pregnancy I have been napping every afternoon because i just get so tired.

I've been trying to exercise as well but I'm afraid I'm spending more time napping than anything. My muscles are sore from the lack of movement...any recommendations on good pregnancy massages that won't break the bank?

LKF during my first pregnancy I went to this place in TST on Canton road I have been going to this massage place for 8 years. Throughout my first pregnancy I went every week. Its not your typical spa just a room with a massage table but the masseuse was good. Cost only HK$100 an hour I mean they knew that i was pregnant so took extra care.

HK 100/hr?!? Where is this place? I guess the further you get from Central, the better price you'll get. Did they use pillows or did they have a table with a hole? I usually go to Happy Foot for foot massages but have heard freaky stuff about a reflexology point near the ankle that helps contractions? Would this make a difference if I'm only in my 1st trimester? I wonder if it would be OK to get a back/shoulder/neck massage only on one of those chairs...

hospital booking confirmed??

I'm due October 20 and am having problems getting a confirmed hospital booking on the HK island side. I have not given birth in HK before. Have you all gotten your confirmations? Should I be worried?

LKF yeah 100 bucks pretty good. Its a massage table with a hole for the face but since we are preggers no use really. They usually just give me a pillow to hug. Reflexology i go to as well I will tell them I am pregnant so that they avoid certain pressure points. I am going Sunday for a 2 hours massage let me get the name of some reliable masseuses. At this place they only speak Cantonese . Its along Canton road opposite Louis Vuitton.

HKM2, I am due Oct 28 and book Matilda but have not received any confirmed booking yet. I am not sure if I should be worried remember with baby # 1 did not have to go thru this reservation, advance payment system.
