Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital: how to contact the international service, choose the right destination, prepare records and confirm costs before a maternity and fetal medicine consultation.
Information recorded Oct 30, 2026 · Planning information, not medical advice
Short answer
Contact the East or West international service before transferring prenatal care. Confirm whether you are booking routine antenatal review, fetal medicine or another specialist clinic, and ask what records are needed. Consultation, delivery registration and newborn care are separate arrangements that need explicit confirmation.
Who this is for: Expectant parents arranging a planned prenatal consultation or transfer of existing maternity care in Shanghai.
Eligibility, costs, and preparation
- Records to discuss before travel
Ask how to transfer the existing antenatal file, ultrasound reports and laboratory results, and what documentation is needed to open a maternity record. Discuss travel timing and continuity of care with the treating clinician.

Questions to confirm before booking
- 1
Does this appointment open a maternity record, and is delivery registration handled separately?
A specialist outpatient visit may not reserve delivery facilities or neonatal services.
- 2
Can this service register my passport, and which identity or guardian documents must I bring?
Registration systems and required documents can differ between standard and international services.
- 3
Can you send the exact Chinese campus, building and check-in time with the appointment confirmation?
A map search for the hospital name alone may lead to another campus or department.
- 4
What is included in the written estimate, and does my insurer authorise this exact appointment?
A direct-payment relationship does not establish individual coverage or remove a deposit requirement.
- 5
What happens after the first consultation, including results, further visits and remote follow-up?
The return journey should allow for the actual agreed pathway rather than an assumed same-day completion.
