Ang habol ko lang sa CGH ay ang OB ko at pedia ng anak kong panganay kaya dun pa din ako this year.

Dun lang kasi sila affiliated.

Cons sa CGH: Facility (a bit not maintained particularly sa old building - ang kaso andun and mga babies so mas prefer namin sa old building kesa sa new); Their student nurses (my God!) ang ingay sa recovery room.
Personal Experience: When I gave birth 2006 to my eldest, the nurses handled me well. They were accommodating and gentle. I think it depends on the OB (kasi my OB's very kalog and nice to the nurses so inaalagaan talaga ko) and feeling ko din mabait kasi ako (I slept after they administered the epidural on me). May isang nurse na pinaiwan si OB sa labor room (6cm ako when they administered it) tapos she checked on me from time to time kung ok ako. Basta that time wala naman akong pakialam sa nurses, I just want my OB beside me (and she stayed, thank God).
Actually the good thing about my OB is pinapunta niya ko sa CGH ng 11pm (4cm then) after pinalipat na niya ko agad sa private room namin para dun ako makapagrest (dahil goodluck sa public labor room, nakakatrauma yung sigaw ng ibang patients). Pinasundo niya ko at 230am (and mabait din yung nursing aid na nag-assist sakin) tapos 6cm na nga then direcho transfer sa delivery room stayed there until manganak na.
When it was time to push, OB held my hand and then nung nagcrown na head ni baby, she asked one of the lady interns to hold my hand (haha nakakahiya nga eh pero alam niya kasi sobrang takot ko), tapos one of the nurses ay dinaganan na ko ng bongga para bumaba na si baby

She even instructed one of the nurses to go to our room, get our camera from my hubby (nung nakacrown na head ni baby) take baby's photos nung nakalabas na siya and ang gaganda ng kuha ni nurse.

Perfect team silang lahat.

My OB's name is Dra. Rosallee Eng-Doctor. Currently meron na din siya sa UST pero wag daw ako dun kasi mahal. hahaha. Ganun siya kaprangka. Total bill nung 2006 was 42k (4 days stay, 2 days si baby sa nursery (kasi nalate ang dating ng breastmilk ko and talagang hindi ako nagdala ng bote (toinks)), normal delivery with epidural). Sulit na din

My baby's pedia is Dra. Irminia Ang. Nothing but good words for her too. She's a neo-natologist so newborns ang specialty niya. She was so patient with me and baby. And good thing about her is pag medyo kapos ka, puedeng lista muna haha. Seriously. Puede

Basta I love them both kaya kahit ang layo layo ng CGH samin, dinadayo ko talaga sila.
