Book antenatal classes
Ask at your booking appointment which antenatal classes you are entitled to, rather than assuming — that answer changed this year when the antenatal service began moving to the Hospital Authority. No Hong Kong government page states what antenatal classes come with the public or private service. The step is reduced to the one safe instruction: ask at your booking appointment.

What else to know
In practice public patients, private hospital patients and independent groups all run them, classes fill up, and for expats without family nearby they are the easiest way to meet other parents due the same month. Book for the last trimester.
