sis OB ko kasi accredited sa St. Victoria tapos I read sa smart parenting about VT Maternity Hospital. ganda din naman kasi reviews on both hospital and budget-wise ok din. yun nga lang, sobrang I'm leaning on TMC kasi my goodness..laki ng price difference hehe!

ava_camille kapag lamaze room ba dapat may lamaze class muna? kasi no idea naman ako sa lamaze nagbubudget ako ng 150k pero isip ko kasi sana less than dun ang magagastos namin para kung malaki matira yun na gagamitin sa binyag.

Hi sis! long overdue na sagot ko =) Not necessary naka pag Lamaze class ka for the Lamaze room

Hello! I'm on my 35th week and I'm going to give birth @ TMC. I already inquired for their package but my OB mentioned that there are certain meds for the Mom that is not covered by the package. I'm giving birth via NSD (hopefully . To those who gave birth there recently, what is covered by the "supplies" on the package? A friend of my husband told him that there is a free package for baby that includes a bath tub. Is this still true now? What can I bring for myself and for the baby to lessen the possible supplies that might be charged by the hospital? Thank you in advance to those who would answer my endless questions  We just finished shopping for baby's stuff kasi and it's worth one hospital delivery na rin. That's why im looking for areas where I can save

hi mga sis! just want to know kung meron na ba dito naka try manganak  sa tmc using an hmo card na hindi nagpapadagdag ng pf si ob?!i have intellicare card kasi..150,000 ang limit for delivery.eh type ko sana mag lamaze room.problem is mukang ayaw ni ob i accept ako kung mah lamaze room ako.keso sabi nya 6k na nga lang daw ang pf nya since hmo card tapos ang dami ko pa daw demand..ewan ko ba pero in my opinion, they should be giving the same kind of service to those using hmo cards as they do to those paying in cash.i also tried different ob pero nag bigay naman ng hint na parang gusto nya mag padagdag ng fee since 6k daw eh parang fee lang ng midwife.confuse tuloy ako kasi diba since affiliated sila ng hmo card eh dapat sumusunod sila sa rate?hindi ko tuloy sure kung illegal ba yung hihingi sila ng additional fee sa mga patients nila.sana meron dito yung naka experience na.

[ava_camille]

^^hhmmm bakit ganun sis? haveyou inquired sa hmo mo re that matter? dun ba sa 150k kasama pf?

^^hhmmm bakit ganun sis? haveyou inquired sa hmo mo re that matter? dun ba sa 150k kasama pf?

actually sis natanong ko na yan at nag confirm sila na kasama nga ang pf dun sa 150,000.so ang dating nga talaga skin eh may mga ob na nag papadagdag sa mga patients nila dahil para sa kanila hindi enough ang 6k para sa service nila. ang skin naman bakit may ganun?!eh kaya sila affiliated ng mga hmo cards dahil sila naman ang mga nag apply plus di biro ang mga client na nakukuha nila lalo sa mga big company. I don't know tuloy kung mag rereport ako sa hmo about this type of obs dahil for sure wala silang idea na may mga ganto.

^sis ako I gave birth at TMC last november. I also have HMO 150k coverage but didn't have problems with pf ni OB, pedia and anes may endo rin ako cause I had GDM. My OBs of was 37k or 47k can't remember na Basta Hindi lagpas ng 50k, NSD yan. Wala naman akong cash out sa mga pf.

hi sisies!
i just gave birth at TMC las Feb 16 via C-section. My OB was Dra. Rowena Rivera and I availed of the delivery package. overall bill was around 70k. I stayed there for 3days. I used my philhealth and my hmo which covered 25K of the bill. for Philhealth, around 12k was discounted. we only paid around 40-45K for the total hospital bill since I also got a discount from my OB's PF.

Overall experience was really good and I am happy that I chose TMC and my OB.

Gave birth at TMC last feb 26 via NSD. Stayed at private deluxe room for 2.5 days and total bill is 88k (net of philhealth) + 15k for baby. I'm really satisfied with the services and i also like the hugs and kisses device that they put on you and baby to make sure that hindi mawawala si baby.

sis ano [textspeak!] hugs and kisses device na cnsabi mo?!sounds interesting ah!

[purple29]

^ mother-infant matching siya sis na ikakabit sa 'yo and baby. Tutunog siya everytime na katabi mo si baby and it will send an alarm sa nurse station if ilalayo si baby sa 'yo so safe na safe si baby.

[euwie]

Hello! Tanong ko lang po kung may nanganak na po ba dito sa inyo sa regular dr na pinayagan ng ob pumasok husband nila? Gusto ko rin kasi kasama asawa ko sa loob dr if ever e. Si dra banal-silao kasi yung ob na pinuntahan ko sa tmc dati. Di ko lang sure kung papayag sya. Pinapatanong ko na sa ate ko whose in mnl. Sana payag sya. Tia!

[ayami]

Curious din ako sa tanong ni sis euwie, 2010 ako nanganak and hindi sinama si husband kasi delivery room ako and not the Lamaze room/Birthing suite. I heard sa ibang hospitals kasama na talaga yung hubbies, ewan ko lang sa TMC

[purple29]

^ sis, I think depende yan sa OB. Ang usapan kasi namin ni doc, papasukin niya si Hubby sa DR pag lalabas na si baby so we dont have to pay for the lamaze room. Kaya lang I was already in the DR nung dumating si OB and the nurse took the camera na kay hubby. I wanted to remind pa sana my doctor na papasukin si hubby but i was so tired na and wala ng energy makipag usap. I just wanted to finish everything na lang so I can sleep na. Kaya ayun paglabas ni baby knocked out talaga ako. After delivery pinagalitan ko nga si hubby kasi hindi rin niya ni remind yung staff na yun yung usapan namin ni doc.

[ayami]

^ ganon din sakin sis, nauna ako madala sa DR bago si doc, tapos kinuha lang kay hubby yung cam. Pero wala naman kaming usapan noon. Hmn. 2nd time ko na and last baby ko na sana kaya gusto ko sana kasama ko siya kahit di kami nag birth/lamaze classes

[hoyhoy]

depende sa OB, my OB Dr Edwin Gonzales made sure my hubby was with me at all times, from pre-labor room, to labor room, to delivery room, hanggang sa operating room kasi naCS ako, we just paid 400 sa scub suit

[ayami]

^ kilala ko yang doc mo sis, dun kasi sa clinic din niya yung Pedia ng son ko hehe. Talaga? So pwede pala talaga. Salamat sa info

[hoyhoy]

Si Dr. Delfin? sya din naging pedia ni baby when I gave birth umalis lang ako ater 3 check ups kasi OA ang pila, tapos yung secretary si Dada nagpapasingit sa ma kaclose nya, naasar kami ni hubby

para di OT, oo pwede nga hehe kahit di lamaze room

[purple29]

^naku my baby's pedia is dr. Delfin din and 1st time namin pupunta for check up bukas. Sana hindi ganun ka haba ang pila.

Sis ayami, sayang nga hindi nakapasok si hubby, wala tuloy kami family pic pagkalabas ni baby. Sa 1st baby ko kasi  we used the lamaze room and when i told ob na gusto ko sana mag lamaze ulit para kasama si hubby siya na nagsabi na no need na and papasukin niya na lang sa DR. Sayang lang kasi hindi natuloy pero ok lang din kasi lumabas agad si baby then tulog na ako. Nagising na lang ako nasa recovery room na ako.
