Gave birth din sa MMC. One month ako naka admit due to premature contraction, the find out na may stone ako sa gall baldder ipen chole ako during my pregnancy special case kaya  nung nioperahan ako halos puno ng doctor yun OR. Nung pinanganak ko si baby nag one week kami. Total bill na binayaran ko 95thousand lang.. 85k sa surgery at  15k lang sa panganganak naka bawas na dun yun philhealth ko mura diba?? Pero un room ko semi private. 

[jeuliann]

Sis littlekinselle why ang mura ng hospital bill mo? Considering na one month ka naka admit + na operahan ka pa. Sino ob mo sis? Do you have green card?

[littlekinselle]

^sis HSP po ako, yes sis may green card ako. kung wala ako HSP nasa 800k na bill namin..  then sabi ng mga doctor saken special case kami ni baby kaya bongga discount. Sabi ng asawa ko nung inooperahan ako dami docotrs sa OR, may cardio, pulmo, mga surgeon, OB, at pedia. Tapos may mga residente pa.. Nung Nasa labor room ako ng 2weeks 10k per day yun discounted na.

Kung wala HSP si. Dra.cgozon-fransisco OB ko.
Pag sa OPD sila Dra. pili at chototangco. Magagaling un OB na yan sa OPd. Halos kilala na ako sa hosp pag nakikita ko sila doctor.... Kahapon nag pa cholangiogram ako naka 7k din kami kung wala ako HSP nasa 10k plus yon.

Nice to know na naka hsp kayo sis littlekinselle, laking tipid non. god is good talaga. enjoy motherhood sis!

[kuplet]

Question: Is the philhealth deduction same for all if CS? I read sabi ng iba 11k and meron din 19K? What determines how much you get from Philhealth?

[coco_cola]

Mine is 11k

Hello, for those who recently gave birth sa MMC. Ano ano ang provided ng hospital sa baby and mother? I'm due na kasi this June. I just want to know kung sila ba mag pprovide ng clothes ni baby after delivery? or need ko ibigay yung clothing needs and receiving blanket ni baby? Thanks!

[krissy_629]

Hi sis  jeuliann! Pag wala naman complication si baby automatic room in siya so you need to provide his/her clothes, receiving blanket, lampin, boots, mittens, & caps. Bring baby's clothes na for atleast 1 week kase mayat maya ang palit lalo na kung malungad siya. However they will provide 1 pack of drypers NB diapers, thermometer, 1 bag of cotton balls, 2 bottles of alcohol, cotton buds, 1 physiogel dermo-cleanser or cetaphil depende sa prescribed ni Pedia mo. Pag naka private room ka meron na rin soap, toothbrush and shampoo for you. Pero syempre bring your own para mas comfy. They will also provide maternity napkin pero im not sure kung pwedeng wag ka na bigyan nito kung may dala ka na. Binigyan kase ako, di ako nainform eh may dala akong napkin. Ayaw ko pa naman ng maternity napkin kc ang kapal, hehe!! I use sofy body fit comfort night 35cm napkin, you can find it in Watsons.

Feedback naman, nurses and doctors are so maasikaso, mabait and attentive. Thats why we love MMC and 15 mins away lang siya sa bahay, hehe!!

 Hope it helps! Have a safe and easy delivery sis!

[jeuliann]

Hi sis Krissy, thank you for the detailed information 3 sets lang pala naipack ko na clothing ni baby tee hee!.. i'll bring more na lang para sure. Inassist ka rin ba kung pano magpalatch kay baby?

[krissy_629]

^nung delivery day hindi sis pero kase 2nd baby ko na kaya may alam nako about breastfeeding. Basta paglabas ni baby pina crawl siya sa chest ko tapos medyo pinusisyon lang siya sa nipples ko nung isang resident OB. But the next day may nag punta na breastfeeding consultant/pedia. Kukumustahin ka niya and tuturuan ka ren magpa breastfeed ng maaayos, positioning etc. name nya is Dra. Lilen. Gave birth pala last May 05.

Ay sis bring face towel and bath towel for you and for baby.

[jeuliann]

Congrats sis Krissy! buti ka pa nakaraos na.. enjoy your new little bundle of joy. Naeexcite na naiinip na ko, first time mom here pala and going 36weeks na on friday.

[krissy_629]

^start walking na sis para mabilis lang labor mo.

[jeuliann]

[theEmpress]

krissy_629, congrats sis! hope you and your baby are both doing fine. enjoy your little one. normal ka ba or CS? ilang weeks ka na when you delivered?

jeuliann, lagi na bang matigas tummy mo sis? ako minsan the whole day pero wala namang pain. ano ba feeling ng BH? hay, napa-praning na ako na malapit na. FTM kasi, i'm a bit scared. hope all works out well for us.

[jeuliann]

Sis theEmpress, nafefeel ko na rin yung pagtigas ng tummy, minsan nga may parang pressure pa pababa.. pero yung paninigas naman di naman whole day, may time lang talaga na tumitigas. hirap na din ako maglakad lakad. Ang dali ko ng mapagod. 36 weeks na ko on friday...and tomorrow checkup ko. Praying for a full term,easy and safe delivery. FTM also, ayun excited na kinakabahan. Pray lang tayo, God is good all the time. update update pa rin tayo ah.

[krissy_629]

Hi sis theEmpress and Jeuliann!

39 weeks and 3 days ako sis, yung labor story ko nasa April, May, June thread.

Bill was 148K less philhealth na. NSD. 4 days stay, birthing room #3, and large private room.

Pedia: Dr. Robert Dennis Garcia 6500
OB: Dra. Sonia Bongala 50,000
Anes: Dra. De Jesus 25,000

6 hours lang ako nanganak plus 3 hours recovery kaya medyo mababa lang yung inabot kong fee sa birthing room. Gusto ko lang ma experience, hehe!

[jeuliann]

Sis Krissy, while on labor, may kasama ka ba sa labor room? your hubby? solo room nyo ba yon or may iba ding patient na naglalabor? ilang hours yung labor mo?

[theEmpress]

Sis krissy! Ang baba ng bill mo sis considering naka birthing room ka ang large private.

[krissy_629]

Sis jeuliann: kasama ko hubby ko sa birthing room the whole time. Dun sa triage room/ward parang observation lang siya, di ko pa kasama hubby ko nun pero nung nilipat nako sa birthing room, kasama ko na siya hanggang recovery. Sa triage bali 2 kameng pasyente na under observation pero sa birthing room solo na namin.

Sis theEmpress when i asked my OB kung how much need namin ihabda for NSD mga 150K daw to 170K kung mag birthing room ako kc depende kung matagal ako sa birthing room but thank God mabilis naman ako nanganak. 4:40AM ako pinasok sa birthing room tapos 7:25AM baby out na. Till 10:30AM kame sa BR.

Dun sa eldest ko 2009 yun. 7 hours ako naglabor, around 120K yung bill ko, private labor room naman, solo lang namin ni hubby yung labor room. Tapos yung recovery dun na sa recovery room na parang mga 8 yata kayo sa isang room. Then small private room.

[kittybabe]

Hi, anyone who recently gave birth at makati med? Sulit ba ang delivery packages nila? Nag-iisip kasi ako sa room mas gusto ko large private sana, ang mga room sa package is semi- or small private. TIA!
