Is it still advisable to give birth in HK with the protests worsening? Im 32 weeks pregnant.

Hi, I'm 22 weeks pregnant, my EOD is in mid Dec 2019 and have make plans to give birth in HK from the start. But as the condition in HK with the protest getting worst, we are worried about safety, worried about getting to the hospital while the protest is going on. Is it still safe to give birth in HK? We are not sure what is going to happen. Can anyone advice?

If I were you being a mother myself I would definitely move to another country. Of course considering you have the financial ability to move to another country. I would like to enjoy my pregnancy without any negative news that will affect the growth of my baby.

Hi Chanl, dont worry too much about the protests. They move from neighbourhood to neighbourhood. Even if they were still on, you could always call an ambulance if no transport were available. Not sure where you live, but have a plan with a backup (could be a friend with a car). Having a plan will put you at ease.

No worries. I think it will be fine. Just stay positive and as neil5m suggested, have a backup plan will do.
