  Hi Sis Evilwoman,

    eto mga PF nila :      OB  -  12T
                                  anes - 6T
                                  pedia - 2,400
 
 Hi Sis domestic diva,
    Chair lang higaan ng bantay na medyo nakapahiga. Si hubby lang
    naman bantay ko and kasya naman kami sa bed, so tabi na lang kami.
    Usually pag normal delivery, pwede ka na umuwi kinabukasan. Pero
    yun pa rin babayaran mo , kaya tinatapos na lang namin yun 3D/2N
   
               

[evilwoman]

^ same din lang pala sis.. i guess yung ibang kaek-ekan lang talaga namin ni OB ang dinagdag namin sa bayad plus yun nga, mas mahal yung antibiotic na pwede sa kin. hehe..

tip nga pala mga sis, kung gusto nyo makasave ng konti, yung pf ng mga doctor nyo, hanggat maari, dun kayo sa clinic nila mismo magbayad at wag sa cashier para iwas 12% VAT. o wag nyo na ko isumbong sa pulis ha.. meron din lang nakapagturo sa kin.. 

[ganda01]

Hi Sis Ale1 ,
No add'l charge pag magdadala ng sleeping bags. you can bring anything you want . Solo mo yun room sis, para syang studio type na room, sliding door type sya. nakasemento naman yun gilid ng room. me isang bintana.
 2 ang CR shared yun .parang mga cr sa mall. nasa magkabilang dulo.para kasing nasa isang compound kayo nyan eh. lapit [textspeak!] naman. pwede din bumisita anytime you want. ang food : breakfast, meryenda,lunch,meryenda & dinner. busog ka talaga.

[ganda01]

wow ! that's great . thanks sis evilwoman. pag nanganak ulit ako sa january, ganyan na gagawin namin ,, hehe

[evilwoman]

^ you're welcome sis! pero not guaranteed na applicable sa lahat ng doctor ha.. baka kasi yung iba magcharge pa din ng vat. nataon lang na lahat ng binayaran namin di talaga kami siningil sa vat.. 

[ale1]

@ganda01  - wow! ok na din pala. may free food pa. salamat sa info sis. will definitely check itong package na to.
@evilwoman - yehey! thanks sa tip sis. savings din ang 12% pag nagkataon.

[domestic diva]

^@evilwoman: thanks for the "big tip"!  i'll ask for direct payment sa mga pf! 

[evilwoman]

you're welcome mga sis! basta po unahin nyo muna isettle yung mga pf before yung mismong hospital bill sa cashier para sure na di talaga nila isama sa computation yung pf ng mga doctors.. 

[domestic diva]

dont forget to get a tmc partner card. its free. you get points.  better yet, get the tmc plus card. you get discount on your bill and baby's.

for those who are c/s, bring 2 or 3 binders when you go to the hospital so you dont end up buying when the one you have gets soiled.

[bugick]

sa TMC din ako manganganak this September.

ano bang mga essentials ang dapat dalhin going to the hospital when you're already in labor? i've read a lot of mommies suggesting to bring our own stuff to avoid getting charged by the hospital. wala pa kasi akong idea eh.

thanks!

[domestic diva]

^I didn't go through labor, sis.  Hopefully, another sis will post.  I was scheduled cs kasi kaya I suggest others to bring an extra binder.  I had to buy another binder (P500/Sogo brand).  I also had GDM and was allowed by endo to bring my own kit (lancets/strips/injections).  I also brought my own dry sheet pad kasi charged din yon when you ask for a change.

It says in the Admissions "rules" that you can't bring your own meds. 

I also didn't use my pajamas.  I used the hospital gown.  It was so much easier to bf with it.  Don't forget comfortable slippers.

[bugick]

dry pads ba yung parang diaper ang material pero naka-layout lang siya pahaba? i saw some of these at the grocery katabi nung mga adult diapers. i just forgot the name.. 

[evilwoman]

^ yes sis, yun na nga yun.pero wag ka bibili ng sobrang dami.sayang.. meron yata packs na 3pcs lang laman..

ako sis naglabor so bitbit ko, mga damit ko, damit ng baby, damit ni hubby, dry sheets, maternity pads, breast pads, adult diaper, kikay kit, philhealth/sss docs, marriage cert, camera, pregnancy record book, baby book.. nasa 30weeks pa lang yata ako nakakarga na sa car yun.

kung yung sa package ang iaavail mo, dala ka siguro ng laptop sis para naman may entertainment yung mga kasama mo habang hinihintay ka manganak. yung pajama, nagamit ko pa din kasi lamigin ako. eto naman yung mga nalimutan namin dalhin pero kinailangan namin:
1. sleeping bag/unan/kumot for hubby
2. electric thermos
3. bath towel
4. socks

wag din po kakalimutan yung mga cellphone, cellphone charger, atm/cash.. 

dagdag ako pag may naalala pa..

[domestic diva]

^ako sis, I wore socks in the OR! LOL
but I knew they take them off when you give birth then they put it back on again. Sobrang ginaw kasi sa loob ng OR.  Buti na lang they give you a thick, pink blanket.

Yeah and don't forget things for your bantay!  I brought a thicker blanket for me and my bantay.. nagbago bigla hormones ko after giving birth.. kung init na init ka noong buntis ka, after giving birth, nanginginig ako sa pag-on ng aircon!.. especially when the milk comes in!

[bugick]

THANKS SA LIST!!!

[khengzky]

hi mga sis, does anyone knows Dra. Diosa Concepcion? OB din siya from TMC.. ok ba siya maging OB?? TIA!

[tintin_c17]

hello sis, ob ko from here si Dra. Calayan, then just gave birth 3weeks ago cs ako then nabayaran ng hubby ko 230thou lhat kasi i spent 6days. Gooodluck sayo, inquire kana lang then depende then yan sa case mo sa panganganak and kung ok lahat.

[dolly]

dry pads ba yung parang diaper ang material pero naka-layout lang siya pahaba? i saw some of these at the grocery katabi nung mga adult diapers. i just forgot the name.. 

underpads yun sis, may provided na ganun ang tmc pero ako i bought mine, tena yung brand, kung magdadala ka yun ang pagamit mo para hindi na isama sa bill mo.

just gave birth nung june 12, 3 days ako, CS under a fertility doctor, i spent 80k for hospital bills and sa baby, less 18k for my philhealth, plus additional pa yung 30k sa anesthesiologist, around 65k to 75k ata yung sa doctor ko mismo which is sa monday ko pa lang babayaran when i follow up. So all in all, nasa 185k ang total.

[mariadj]

Sis dolly, sino yung fertility doctor mo?

[domestic diva]

I spent around P70k for me and P30k for baby.  CS with complications for me and baby.  Thank God, we're both ok now.  I don't have philhealth  but we were able to use the tmc plus card which gave us 10% off.

One of the staff advised me to room in baby on my last night kasi natatagalan daw ang billing from the nursery.  If you room in, you just have to wait for your billing.  I wasn't able to try it bec. I had to leave baby behind.
