^sis yung sa birth certificate babalikan na lang yata yung registered copy, si hubby kasi nagasikaso lahat bago kami lumabas kaya di ako sure. pero may copy din na ibibigay sa inyo galing sa Admission before kayo lumabas wala pa nga lang signature ng ob. dala ka ng photocopy ng marriage certificate nyo.

[sachism]

room-in na ang standard practice sa slmc qc. sabi nung nurses yung mga kailangan ng extra care like yung mga naka-incubator or naka-IV na babies na lang ang nilalagay sa nursery. wala na ring public viewing time ang nursery. parents na lang ang pwedeng pumunta. with regards sa visitors, remind mo lang yung mga family and friends mo, sis, na kung dadalaw sila e make sure na wala silang ubo, sipon or any infectious na sakit. pero don't worry, sis, very resilient naman ang mga baby. di ba nga yung iba sa bahay lang nanganganak pero okay naman babies nila?

I gave birth sa SLMC QC nung 2010. During the admission, I said, na ayoko kaagad i room in si baby kasi first time at haggard pako. I also availed of the HRPU (High Risk Pregnancy Unit) na room while in labor. NSD ako, my OB fee was free. Unfortunately, nagkacomplication si baby. so mga around 300k (more or less), included na ang PFs sa pagpanganak ko at ng mga doctors na anak ko.

wala ngang viewing time sa SLMC QC. But they allowed my BIL who is a priest to come in and pray over my baby. But parents can come in anytime. Mga halos 1 week din ako pabalik balik dyan to BF.

Im just happy na sa SLMC ako nakapanganak kasi they took care of my baby and thank God for healing her. We were able to bring her home in about a week. Pero ang nakakaba, everyday, may makikita kang envelop sa bedside table ni baby (na nasa nursery) yun ang running bill. Akala ko noon, isang bill lang kami ng anak ko. Yun pala iba ang bill nya iba din sa akin. LOL. Wala lang. Lesson learned din. hehe. Ganun pala pag manganganak.

They are very strict with breasfeeding, too. Hehe. Talagang tatawag sa room mo pag time to BF or umiiyak na si baby. I also overheard a pedia lecturing a mom who didn't bother to go down for several instances na umiiyak anak nya. Pagod daw kasi sya at masakit ang tahi nya. I liked that very much about them.

The OB's PF will most likely depend sa room availed. Like mine, I got the birthing suite kaya 50K ang PF ng OB ko for a normal delivery-- 2 pushes lang and my baby came out already.

wow galing mo umire sis ! 50k for NSD? Ok na din pala sis. my hubby wants another baby pero busy sa politics and OB ko ngayon kaya natatakot din ako magbuntis. Im glad , I found this thread. Makakatingin tingin ako ng OK na OBs sa SLMC QC.

Magkano ang birthing suite sis?

[kimebies]

^ I gave birth via water birth sa eldest ko kasi, Sis. Walang anesthesia talaga, kaya gumaling ako sa pag-push! Haha

As far as I remember more or less nasa 30K for the first 24 hours yung birthing suite. Tapos you can either choose to transfer to another room para medyo mabawasan yung bill (nakadepende kasi sa room rate lahat-- PFs, meds, etc) or stay there for around 15K a day.

buti naman at ok pa rin pala sa QC. madami kasing nagsasabi kesyo crowded at luma na daw.

Naku natatakot naman ako umabot ng 300k  whyd it reach 300k? If you don't mind me asking. And how long did you and your baby stay in the hospital?

[sachism]

Halos 1 week lang sis kami. One day difference lang kami ni baby nauna kasi ako ma discharge. Sana nga inantay ko na lang kasi haggard ang every 3 hrs tatawagin ng hosp para mag Bf hehe. Buti malapit lang kami slmc.

My daughter was born with heart problems so andaming doctors at tests at kung ano anong nakakabit na machine at meds. Na NICU din sya then na transfer sa nursery. 

We werent expecting to have that huge bill. Kasi
Smooth ang pregnancy ko. But God always provides

[jpeach]

sis mamichula, 60 ang kay ob. discounted pa daw yun dahil parang family friend namin siya kasi orgmates sila ng mom ko nung college. matagal ko na siyang ob, since college pa ako. pero if ever we decide to have another baby, i will try sa ibang ob naman siguro. minsan mas mahirap pa yung kakilala e.

[sachism]

If it's within our area, I would go for slmc qc. Kung sa global pala ako nanganak, mas haggard kapag ipapaiwan si baby kasi anlayo pag kelangan mag bfeed. Pero wag naman sana mangyare ulit ito. Pero kahit ano padin pwede mangyare kaya as much as possible mas gusto ko sa malapit na hosp manganak. Maraming tao talaga sis pero sa OB dept parang d naman masyado noong ako. Dko rin alam ang labor room kung crowded or what kaya d ako makabigay feedback.

Oh I  hope your baby's doing well na now.
Ang hirap tlg pag nagkasakit ang baby nakaka awa. I saw my friend's baby ganyan din he had congenital heart disease, ang heartbreaking kasi may mga nakadikit na tubes sa baby  Pero he survived naman and he's super healthy na now Babies are very resilient naman daw kasi they recover fast. I think bantay na bantay sila ng angels nila

Hindi din nakita sa congenital anomaly scan yung health ni baby? Kala ko pa man din since normal na my CAS okay na sya I have to be extra careful pa din pala ang hilig ko pa man din magpuyat.

I agree. Minsan kasi kung may conditions na ayaw mo na ipaalam sa parents mo para di na sila mag alala eh mahirap itago kung kilala nila the OB. Sabi kasi sakin ng OB ko ang minimum nila 50k for CS may package lang syang binigay na promo nya ata kaya 45k lang. Sna nga wag na nya dagdagan.

I gave birth here last year via nsd. Approximately 130K lahat lahat. We stayed in a private room for 3 days.

hindi nakita sis that's the first question the OBs asked me sa recovery room kung nagpa CAS daw ako, i said yes and why. d na sumagot. ibang topic na. at ayun nagpaalam. kaya dun pa lang kinabahan nako.

that's right sis. iyak ako ng iyak nung una ko syang makita. ang daming nakakabakit sa kanya d ko mawari kung ano. lagi pang tumutunog ang alarm ng machine na nakadikit sa kanya kaya lagi ako panic mode. she's ok now. once a year na lang kami magpupunta sa pedia cardio nya. god is good.

prayers at todo ingat talga ang kelangan.

[mamichula]

^  I'm glad your baby's okay na now  Warrior si baby  Sulit na din ang gastos as long as the baby's safe.

Kung ako din [textspeak!] I'll cry my eyes out maawain pa man din ako sa baby pag may sakit lalo na siguro if its my own baby baka mahimatay ako sa iyak.

BTW did the doctors explain what could have caused it?

My CAS came out normal din kaso I had it last month pa and my sugar's mataas this month so I'm worried baka after the scan may pwede pang madevelop na complications.

[sachism]

sabi ni cardio possible cause, hindi nagsara ang butas ng heart nya nung inire ko sya. haggard kasi ako talga nung buntis ako, ang dami kong ginawa noon, naglong haul travel pako magisa. kaloka.

anyways, always think positive and stay healthy , prayers would be the best way to go. good luck on your delivery sis. god bless u

[mamichula]

^ Hindi pa pala tapos ma form ang heart nila kahit pag due date na? Naku I'll be extra careful na tlg.

Thanks! I'll keep those in mind. 

[jpeach]

sis sachism, same sentiments ko as sis mamichula. sad to hear about what you and baby went through but happy to hear that she made it and she's okay now. nakikita kita before dun sa birthday party threads and i think i saw pics of your baby's birthday sa blog mo. now i know it wasn't just another birthday party but a thanksgiving celebration din for your baby.

sis mamichula, maganda na yung quote na fee ng ob mo. that's in the lower range na of the going rate sa slmc. i hope you have a smooth and safe delivery! God bless!

[prettygurl00001]

Hi sisses! Ok ba sa st.lukes global? how much kaya ang mga private rooms sa st.lukes global? And how much kaya manganak dun pag nsd and pag cs?

[mamichula]

^^Thanks! Sana nga di na dagdagan ng OB ko
