What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Tai Po?

Answer this Question

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

"Firstly, it's important to find a good obstetrician and hospital for your prenatal care and delivery. Hong Kong has excellent healthcare facilities, but it's crucial to find a doctor who understands your needs and preferences. Secondly, consider hiring a helper or nanny. Having a baby is a lot of work, and having someone to assist with childcare and household chores can be a huge relief. Thirdly, make sure you understand the local customs and traditions related to childbirth. In Hong Kong, there are many traditional practices and beliefs that you may want to respect or incorporate into your own experience. Fourthly, start looking for a suitable kindergarten or nursery for your child early. The demand for good schools in Hong Kong is high, and there can be long waiting lists. Fifthly, connect with other expat parents. They can provide invaluable advice and support, and can help you navigate the challenges of raising a child in a foreign country. Lastly, make sure you have adequate health insurance. Healthcare in Hong Kong can be expensive, and you want to ensure that you and your baby are covered for any eventualities," remarked another expat in Tai Po, Hong Kong.
