Hi everyone,
I am currently 6 month pregnant and am trying to make a decision on where to devliver my baby in Shanghai. I have checked United Hospital (too far from where I live) and Peace Hospital (seems a bit too crowded). I have been going to American Sino for prental check up so far and would like to get any feedbacks on moms who delivered there. Is this a recommended place for giving birth? I have heard a few negatives before.
Thank you!!

What about Worldlink ?
It is now almost 17 months ago that I gave birth there and was one of the first since it opened. My experiences with Worldlink were very good. It is not set up like the ones you've mentioned, Worldlink is smaller and has more personal care.
I have been to both Peace Maternity and American Sino OB/GYN for orientation and check ups and did not like the atmosphere of being one of many.
If you live in Pudong there is also a hospital called East International Hospital which has American and Canadian doctors.
Good luck !

Thank you, Which doctor do you recommend from Worldlink? I just visited there today and found their delivery room is more like an operation room and only allows one person to accompany me.

The doctor I had was the principal OB/GYN doctor from Ruijin Hospital and was interim as my previous OB/GYN had left to go back to the US.
I heard that Dr Yvette Kong who used to work at American Sino is now working for Worldlink. A few friends had her as their doctor at American Sino and I only have heard good things about her.
About the delivery room I can't commend, I had an emergency c-section in the operating room one floor up in the Ruijin.
I know that in both Peace Maternity and American Sino you actually deliver in your own room, not the case at Worldlink.
It is a difficult choice to make of where to deliver especially if it is your first born and you have no idea of what to expect.

Did your friends who had Dr. Yvette delivered at American Sino? How did they like it?
Thank you!

I am the Chief of Womens services at SUFH.If I may comment on our location, if this is your fourth, fifth or more baby then being close to the Birth unit is of prime importance.If it is your first or second thenan extra five or ten minutes is not significant. Why dont you come fora visit, not a medical appointment, just look around, see the place, meet some of the staff and ask all your questions.

Yes, they did deliver at American Sino and where happy with it at the time. Same for Peace Maternity.
However, one friend who delivered her first at American Sino 2 years ago, had her 2nd one not long ago at Dr Moreton's Shanghai United Family Hospital. She was very impressed and positive about their care and understanding how western women would like to have their delivery and their overall service.
It is China, even though a lot of Chinese doctors have been trained overseas their understanding of pregnancy and delivery is still very different than ours.
