Hi Belle Actually we did communicated b4 sometimes last yr in MTB Mar'07 thread re: queries on gynaes in HKG. Time flies ya... yr gal is already 2-mth old. Anyway, do agreed with you tt i also hv no gd impression of gynae's svcs in HKG. The consultation charges are so ex & the svc is not professional at all. But no choice, i still hv to pay for it so as to check my BB's growth. |

March-Aries oh all the best for ur delivery. i think deliver in Sgp is better, i trust Sgp gynae better and charegs are less. my friend who is going to deliver in HK sayd hospital stay alone is already $10K excluding gynae fees. whereas in Sgp i paid $5K for everything. |

Hi belle, tks. My current gynae charges approx. HK$38K for whole pre-natal & post-natal package, excluding hospital stay. Really cost a bomb if i m to stay here for delivery. Wow... so nice of yr mum to fly here to take care yr bb gal. BTW, which hospital did you deliver yr gal? I'll deliver at TMC. |

March Aries i also delivered in TMC. My prenatal consultation package was $599 excluding the 20th week oscar scan and blood test and vitamins. So definitely chepaer in Sgp but i have to fly every month to go for checkup so end up paying quite a bit too but worth it coz i don like HK gynaes. Tried two and both sucks. |

Hi belle, how much in total did you spent for the delivery + hospital bill @ TMC? Btw, did you specifically choose any paediatrician or anesthetist prior to yr delivery? Do you know any good & recommended ones? My SIN gynae asked me abt my choice (if i hv) during my return trip to do my detailed scan last mth. Will probably need to revert back to her when i next see her. |

shimmrs the good thing about HK is that their shopping for branded stuff is good and their service level is definitely better. and also their Sasa things are much cheaper than singapore. |

Belle Right, the customer service we get from HK is a THUMBS UP. I love their positive working attitude and the passion they have towards their job. Haiz.. so ashamed with our local customer service providers, anyway. Yes, shopping is great in HK. MTR / KCR stations are a killer too. A lot of walking to be done in HK lah.. so many steps everywhere! And definitely not stroller-friendly or baby-friendly rather. |

hi all i am a preggie mom-to-be who might be going to HK due to hubby's work. Am wondering if i shud return to Spore before my edd to deliver in Spore or jus opt to deliver in HK. Read the delivery ward in HK always so expensive and limited spaces. But if i were to deliver in Spore, airlines said i can only return prior to my 36th week..so dat means i'll be here without hubby for about a month. Can anyone tell me any suggestions? Any good gynae in HK..am reluctant cos i love my gynae in Spore. Also, how soon can a newborn baby fly? Can the baby fly immediately after confinement? |

mylife Sq allows u to fly until 37 weeks what u can do is u ask your gynae to help u declare a slightly later EDD lah. Are u doing ur checkup in HK or Sgp? from my experience, HK gynae not very helpful lor. and especially if they know u wont be delivering with them. they earn bulk of their money from delivery especially under private ward. newborn after 7 days can fly i think according to airline guidelines. |

hi belle thanks for the useful info. I called SQ and the said "up to 35th week" and CX is "up to 36th week". Another headache is my hubby prob wont be with me, and what if i have an early delivery, will take hubby 3-4 hours to fly back (for those urgent cases) Anyone can recommend any good gynae in HK? |

Hi mylife, I am not staying in HK, but in Guangzhou. Your situation is pretty much like mine when I was pregnant. SQ only allows up to 35 weeks...I conceived both my babies in china (they are 1 yr apart) and both time, I returned to Spore ard 32 weeks just to play safe. Both my babies are delivered by C-section. My hubby was with me for the 1st baby, but unfortunately for the 2nd one, she came out before the planned date and my hubby couldn't go back in time...Close to delivery date, most of the time I was alone without hubby...but still ok cos got parents, in-laws and siblings mah... I chose to deliver in Singapore cos I trust my gynae..china's medical facilities and hospital environment not so good la...better dont torture myself after a hard delivery mah... As for my babies, I brought the elder one after she finished her 6-month vaccine. Later I managed to find a Spore doctor in gz, so I brought my 2nd daughther when she was 2 months only. |

hi weeee29...thanks for your inputs. My problem is my closest sister is in HK as well...and one in Msia. So if and when i return to SG for delivery, it'll prob jus be with my mom. I can foresee i'm prob gonna be very lonely, some more first child ma...hubby not around, sure feel depressed. U were saying u brought your 1st child only aft her 6th month vaciine? Ru actually saying u stayed here in Sg without your hubby for 6 months??? OMG, dat must have been quite tough for u...u're such a brave woman. I checked with my gynae and she said i can prob bring my child back to HK to reunite with my hubby after the 1st month. She said medical facilities are quite ok in HK (if not better)in the private hospitals..jus more costly lo...  |

Hi mylife, My situation is very compliacted...hubby and I were actually working in shanghai..then I got pregnant..during pregnancy, sometimes i flew alone back to spore for impt checkups..near delivery, I went back spore first (abt 1 mth without hubby in spore)...then hubby came back to see me deliver and went back shanghai..another 1 month apart and then he came back spore for a week and was posted to guangzhou..then i went to guangzhou with him for 2 mths without my bb!!! so here and there sometimes I am with my hubby, sometimes with my bb.....felt quite miserable without either of them so finally quit my job and brought bb to join hubby...then alas!! got pregnant again..so on here and there have to be apart with hubby again lor... u can always go on msn or skype everyday with ur hubby..thats what i did...go out with frds, go yoga, research more on bb stuff...there are lots to do...of course, anytime u miss him just call and tell him..that will ease ur sadness.... ya, over in gz the medical facilities are more exp..but no choice lor..money isnt everything wat...find tt whole family being together is happier  |

looks like my hubby posting in HK is more or less confirmed. I think i will be coming back for monthly check-ups and then back to SG for the delivery. Will do confinement here and then bring baby back to HK after 1 month here. ANyone here can recommend a good gynae in HK for the interim period in case of any emergency? Also mommies in HK, can u recommend any good paediatrician in HK? |

Hi Shimmrs, I come and give you 'business' here. Maybe you can try using this thread to update the details for the national day gathering in HK. This can be a good 'advertisment' for the thread. mylife, I fly on CX in my 37th week. I went back to SGP to deliver. The gynae that i used here for the routine checks is located in Central. He's a very nice guy and I informed him from the beginning that I will not be delivering in HK and he was fine and still provided me with good care throughout the pregnancy. You can PM me if you wish to have the gynae and PD contacts. disneymickey, Oceanpark is still around. I think Disney has pram to rent, but not sure about ocean park. |

hi shimmrs thanks...i will be moving back to HK once bb's passport and visa is done. Actually was sharing with jj79 how worried i am of bringing newborn to HK's polluted air...tempted to bring bb only when she's at least 6mths old and finish all vaccinations here in Sg but on the other hand didnt wan hubby to miss out on all her "firsts" cos this is our 1st child. Guess i'll hv to keep her indoors most of the time. Do u have a good pd to recommend? u can email me mylifenow74@yahoo.com to chat!! |

hi mummies in HK. heard that there were many abduction cases in HK disneyland. modus operandi is that when kid went to the toilet without his/her parents going in with them, the kid was somehow made unconscious, hair shaved and clothes changed. the abductor would wrap the child with a cloth and exit the toilet without being spotted by the parents. this act is immoral. both the parents and kid would be traumatised. moreover, no one know what the kid will be used for. anyone can share more about such abduction cases? |

hi gcherny, wow yes i've got emails fr the local HKers that this happened in the shopping malls and not disney though..... kinda a number of cases where the kid was lured into the toilet and then changed clothes and then got out with another adult. One of the email mentioned that this happened in IKEA HK but soon later Ikea HK made some official statements that this never happened & they've got all the security guards & camera around... so well, it's really up to individual to believe in this. Kids can get missing easily in playgrounds where horror stories been told that some badies are loitering in the morning / noons where the mums bring the kids out to play. |
