Hi everybody. I'm quite new here and just found out yesterday that I might be pregnant ( home pregnancy test shows positive). I'm Malaysian and currently working in Guangzhou ( as an english teacher) till July this year. My questions are :
1. Can I get any good english books about pregnancy and child birth in Guangzhou?
2. Where can I go for a monthly check up that is not too expensive ( we're not making expat salary here in Guangzhou )
I hope that I can get some information through this forum. Thanks a lot!

The best pregnancy books you can buy, I think is anything by DR MIRIAM STOPPARD. If you cant get them locally I sure you can buy them over the internet. GOOD LUCK!

www.paddyfield.com - can order online and deliver.
I loved The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy - it is not a month by month book, it is a funny book about what YOU are going through and helped me a lot not to worry and made me laugh.
I used a lot of online sites for the month to month information.
babycentre.co.uk
drsears.com
and lots of other ones - spend a few hours on google and see what sites you like :)

Thanks guys. I went to the biggest bookstore in Guangzhou and there's a section with a lot of english books and I found a book by Dr. Miriam Stoppard. It's a very informative book. I love it! Thanks a lot for the info Kimmi. I can't find the Girlfriends Guide To Pregnancy though Cri, but it's Ok. For now one book is enough.

the Vip birthing centre is good . The doctor speak some english but there is the translator if languange is a problem.
with the doctor every consultation cost about 200 rmb. With the proffesor rmb 280. If you must to additional test,ultra sound they will charge you again.
last time I went there , first appointment cost 280 rmb, plus blood test all together is rmb 350.
with the ultra sound I think should cost rmb 500.
But if you do the delivery there , for normal delivery cost around 17.000 rmb(included 3 nights, medicines, etc) C section can cost up to 28.000 Rmb
The place is nice, and modern. I dont recommend you to go to the local hospital ( unless it has the VIP/foreigner section) as you know the hospital in china can be scary.
another option is clifford hospital. I heard good comment from some women who delivered there.
Sun yat sen hospital i heard also good, they has this VIP section. But i dont know about the price/
Good luck.
