How did you choose your doctor, midwife or other type of medical professional?

Saw OB/GYN at Central Health Medical Centre HK. Recommended by friend. Was very happy with her. Midwife (British Ex-pat) was hospital staff and she was fabulous.

If you were to have another child in this country, would you do anything differently in terms of preparation and/or the delivery?

No, and I would have another baby in HK over having one in my home country. (Australia)

If a friend of yours living in the same country were expecting a baby, what advice would you give her?

Private Health Insurance is a must or you would have a rather large bill. (Of course if you are a resident here you are entitled to go to the government hospital for virtually free where the medical care is very good but the facilities can be lacking.)
