What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Sai Ying Pun?

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Sai Ying Pun 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. Public healthcare is affordable and of high quality, but it can be crowded and may not offer the same level of comfort and privacy as private hospitals. 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 and ensure you receive the care you need. Thirdly, make sure you understand the paperwork involved in having a baby in Hong Kong. This includes registering the birth and applying for a passport and visa for your baby if necessary. Fourthly, consider joining expat groups or forums where you can connect with other parents who have had a baby in Hong Kong. They can provide valuable advice and support. Fifthly, make sure you have a good support network in place. This could include friends, family, or hired help such as a nanny or domestic helper. Lastly, take the time to explore Sai Ying Pun and find baby-friendly places such as parks, playgroups, and baby stores. This will help you feel more at home and make your life easier once the baby arrives," wrote a member who made the move to Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong.
