Having Babies in Hong Kong: A Guide to Pregnancy, Childbirth & Raising Kids in Hong Kong

在香港怀孕, 出生, 与養育孩子- 指南

This page is always *UNDER CONSTRUCTION*. The Chinese characters are written in Big5. I use RichWin 4.2 to read and write them.

Note about the author

I am a Euro-American woman, resident in Hong Kong since 1992. In 1995 I married a Hong Kong man and now have two children, conceived, gestated, born, and now being raised in Hong Kong. My Chinese is only so-so, but I will try to include Chinese information on these pages as well.

Please send me comments so I can improve these pages. I am not a midwife, a doctor or "health care professional" - I have read and studied but everything I say here is my opinion. It's not "gospel". I do try to reference my opinions when I can.

1.Impedimenta \Im*ped`i*men"ta\, n. pl. [L. See Impediment, Impede.]

Things which impede or hinder progress; incumbrances; baggage; specif. (Mil.), the supply trains which must accompany an army.

"On the plains they will have horses dragging travoises, dogs with travoises, women and children loaded with impedimenta". --Julian Ralph.
