What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Tsim Sha Tsui?

Answer this Question

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Tsim Sha Tsui about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the healthcare system in Hong Kong. The city has a high standard of healthcare, with both public and private options available. Public healthcare is affordable and efficient, but you may experience longer waiting times and language barriers. Private healthcare is more expensive, but offers shorter waiting times and English-speaking staff. Secondly, consider hiring a doula or midwife who can provide support and guidance throughout your pregnancy and childbirth. They can help you navigate the healthcare system, understand your options, and advocate for your preferences. Thirdly, start looking for a pediatrician early. It's important to find a doctor who you trust and feel comfortable with. Ask for recommendations from other expats or your healthcare provider. Fourthly, consider taking prenatal classes. These can provide valuable information about pregnancy, childbirth, and newborn care. They can also be a great way to meet other expectant parents in the city. Fifthly, make sure you understand the maternity leave policies in Hong Kong. These can vary depending on your employment situation, so it's important to know your rights and entitlements. Lastly, try to connect with other expat parents in Tsim Sha Tsui. They can provide advice, support, and friendship during this exciting time. There are many online forums and social groups where you can meet other expats," remarked another expat who made the move to Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.
