------------------
MONEY MATTERS:
i suggest, ask nyo na how much yung downpayment sa hospital para set aside
nyo na yung money na yun. lagay nyo sa envelope and label it as downpayment.
pati na din money for emergency use (example, mga 1000-2000 pesos to buy
meds, food, etc kapag nasa hospital ka na), you can set this aside on a separate envelope with label.
saka money for transportation/taxi papunta ng hospital para sure na meron
ka pamasahe. lagay na din sa envelope and meron label.
paglaanan nyo din yung posibleng caesarian...pero shempre pray pa din ng normal delivery.
-------------------------
HOSPITAL ROOMS:
for the hospital, it is important na get the best for less. i was admitted
sa ward with airconditioning. hubby asked for semi-private na 100 pesos lang
ang difference but we opted to get the ward because the doctor previously
reminded us everything carries over when you upgrade to a higher room. don't get tempted to get a higher room if in case na 100 pesos lang ang difference. think of yourselves' financial capability rather than your visitors. Yung sobra dun sa better rooms, ipunin nyo na lang sa pagwelcome ng other visitors when coming to your house or sa birthday/dedication ni baby or sa pagbili ng gatas and diaper,mas maganda, mas practical.
---------------------------
PHILHEALTH:
ang ginawa namin is to use both of our philhealth benefits.
yung sa philhealth benefit ko, ginamit for my hospital bill. yung
philhealth benefit ni hubby ginamit for baby's hospital bill.
yung sa philhealth documents ko:
ask your HR on how you can get/request Member's Data Record (from
Philhealth) and Philhealth Claim Form 1 (meron kelangan data and pirma ng employer mo) para dala nyo na yun kapag na-admit ka sa hospital (and hindi na magpabalik-balik to your office habang naka-admit ka), then kapag mag-checkout ka na you need to present these forms sa hospital for outright deduction.
yung sa philhealth documents naman ni hubby:
Philhealth Claim Form 1 lang (na meron employer's info and signature) yung
kailangan, ganun din kapag mag-checkout na si baby you need to present
these forms sa hospital for outright deduction. kaya mas maganda kung meron na employer's info
[textspeak!] dala nyo kapag na-admit ka na sa hospital.
-------------------
BIRTH CERTIFICATE INFO:
create and print a document containing birth certificate info for the baby.
pwede mo gawin pattern yung birth certificate mo para less errors for the
hospital staff lalo na sa spelling, dates and addresses.
-------------------
(add ko na as suggestion:)
COUPLE TIME:
yun nga, if you could, spend more time together as a couple kasi kapag
meron na baby madami uli adjustments. pwede kayo dinner sa labas or lunch out together during sunday para lang spend time together.
