What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Repulse Bay?

Answer this Question

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Repulse Bay 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. However, private healthcare can be expensive, so it's worth considering getting health insurance that covers maternity costs. Secondly, you should start looking for a suitable obstetrician as soon as you find out you're pregnant. Many expats choose to go private for more personalized care and shorter waiting times. Thirdly, consider joining local parenting groups or forums. These can be a great source of support and advice, and can help you navigate the challenges of having a baby in a foreign country. Fourthly, start planning for your child's education early. Hong Kong has a competitive school system, and many of the best schools have long waiting lists. Fifthly, make sure you understand the legal requirements for registering your baby's birth. In Hong Kong, you need to register the birth within 42 days at the Births and Deaths General Register Office. Lastly, remember to take time to enjoy the experience. Having a baby in a different culture can be a wonderful adventure, and Repulse Bay is a beautiful place to start a family," remarked another expat who made the move to Repulse Bay, Hong Kong.
