| i gave birth to my girl in union this feb. union doesn't allow baby time in the room (for private ward, there's only one baby time each day, or u can take care of the baby unless u declared that u have a nanny taking care of ur baby 24 hrs a day). the only time u can hold ur baby is at the feeding room (5 times a day). daddy can only watch baby through the window of the visiting room for 15 mins and no photos allowed. there'll be nurses helping out first time breastfeeding moms (and also a dvd on breastfeeding in cantonese & mandarin). the nurses are very helpful and u can always ask them questions.
no matter which hospital u choose, u have to book yesterday. have u had ur pre-natal check up in union or ur gyn/ob have contacts with union? not all doctors in hk operates in union.
feel free to PM me if u have any questions re giving birth in union. |
