I've just arrived in HK as my husband and I are relocating here, and also just found out I am pregnant!
Can anyone give me any advice on what to do from here? I'm only four weeks, so should I start looking at Obs now? or wait until my 7 week scan? Do I need a referral from a GP?
Any recommendations on hospitals and doctors? I think I would like to go private and live on Kowloon side (although happy to travel to HK island if they are better).
Thanks

Check your private health insurance cover. The may need a GP referral to see a OBY, but they also only cover a fraction of the cost. The total cost of going private, may shock you.
Most popular hospitals are Matilda and Adventist. It just depends on where your OBY has admitting rights.
My OBY is Dr Lucy Lord, phone number 28240822. Waiting for your 7 week scan is fine, but start doing your homework now. Going public is a safe alternative.

Hi Whereintheworld. If you send me a PM i can give you some help. Also i'm happy to meet for a coffee etc, i'm 13 weeks pregnant myself, so some company is always nice.
Start looking at Obs now, i'm with Dr Patrick Chan (fantastic and reasonable and highly recommended on most forums) phone number 2522 2500. Depending on which hospital you will end up going for, you should get a referral from your OB GYN early, as there are waiting lists at the popular places. I know some people can't get beds at their chosen hospital at only 8 weeks in!
PM me, and we can hook up to chat about it in more detail
