Got a baby on the way? From moving<\/a> to a bigger flat, to purchasing insurance<\/a>, to hiring a helper<\/a>, there is a lot to get ready before the birth. When it came to my pregnancy and being a new mum in Hong Kong, I was prepared. I had read ALL the books, done the antenatal classes, joined every WhatsApp bump group, watched surgical videos on YouTube (please don\u2019t do this), and interrogated all available mum friends to learn \u2018What would REALLY happen\u2019.<\/p>\n

Of course none of that can truly prepare you for the dizzying whirlwind of love, fear, doubt, joy and exhaustion that is part of becoming a new parent. It\u2019s the best thing in the world, but it can also be a difficult and lonely time. And even with all that diligent preparation, I was completely blindsided when my daughter arrived.<\/p>\n

The good news is that for every difficult part of being a new parent, there\u2019s an army of experts to help. They say it takes a village but, as an expat living in Hong Kong during COVID-19, my village was thousands of miles away. So, from my experience, here are my favourite experts that can help new mums in Hong Kong not just survive, but thrive.<\/p>\n
