How about contacting the 'SOS' medical outfit at the high end of Dong Khoi (there are a several others, too) and asking the nurse there.

They say in their web site: "Facilities also include a Children’s Clinic, designed to create a welcoming, fun and age appropriate area for children and a more relaxed environment for parents. ... We can introduce new mothers to community baby groups." < http://www.internationalsos.com/en/ourresources_clinics_vietnam_3536.htm >

Here is a list of many ex-pat clinics / hospitals you can ask < http://www.livinginvietnam.com/hochiminhcity/international_hospitals_doctors.htm >.

Or post a message at BABY & BABY, 440 Tran Hung Dao St, Ward 1, District 5, HCMC or any other baby store.

Have you decided at which hospital you are going to for delivery? There are a couple of very, very good ones.

I have asked the incorrigibles at WomPom.ca/Vietnam in HCMC and they will ask around, too.

Drop me an e-mail and I'll give you some other info. < jaitch@virtuallythere.ca >.

Hi Sylvia,
The prices for kids stuff are reasonable and it also depends on where you purchase those items. Diapers, formular milk etc are not a problem to purchase too. I purchase most of my baby items here in the local supermarkets or shopping centres. It depends on what brand you are using for your kids. Different supermarkets at different locations carried different brands but is not a problem as these supermarkets are easily located in the town area.

Hi DakLak2,

Thank you for your help. I have chosen FV Hospital for my delivery. This is one of the best hospital which I have come across so far compared to the local hospitals.
