Commonwealth Hospital and Medical Center

^ sis would you mind sharing your experience with her?

I was not pregnant naman that time, kaka 1 yr old lang ng baby ko and I had this ailment sa puson ko na sumasakit eh I don't have period naman. I had a check up sa Medical City with her. Eh siguro it's because madami syang patients nun and it's 4pm na, ako namimilipit pa rin sa sakit, when she asked me to lie down sa clinic nya sinabihan niya ko "Hija bilis bilisan mo marami pang nakapila, at di pa ko kumakain". and I was with my mother! Na off ang mother ko dito and we just decided na lumipat ng OB.

I was confined here and ok naman ang experience ko. Malinis naman ang rooms and mababait yung nurses sa 7th floor. In addition gusto ko yung food na binibigay sa patients. May lasa sya unlike sa ibang hospitals.    Even si hubby natuwa sa food kasi masarap. More likley dito na ko manganganak dahil dito affiliated yung bago kong OB. Lipat na kami sa kanya since she was the one who operated on me. Sana lang by the time na manganak ako gawa na yung bagong building. Nung first 2 days ko kasi waiting kami sa private room. Mahirap lang pag ward kasi walang mahihigaan yung bantay unlike pag private..

^ ang dami ko ng naririnig na ang sarap nga daw ng siniserve nila na food dito. baka may presonal chef sila don. Haha

Yung sister in law ko sis kahit ward siya room in agad si baby..

[MomiAnn16]

thanks sa reply akosibulinggay 

prefer ko din kasi na room-in agad ang baby

Galing ako sa OB ko kanina (Dra. Socorro Bernardino) and 90k-100k ang pinapa prepare nya pag CS. Small private room na yun..

I underwent myomectomy last month so no choice, CS na talaga ko.

[arragalang]

^ sis ano yun myomectomy?

Mahal talaga sa FEU and I didnt like how they take care of patients. Kaya lumipat ako dito. Gusto mo rin ba itry dito? I can recommend my ob nung nag ask kasi kami about Quotation eh NSD 40-50, CS 80 and above.

Si sis aiah mas may marerecommend din na okay na OB, dapat dun ako sa OB nya kaso friends sila nung inayawan ko na OB sa FEU kaya di nya ko natanggap.

Ob ko siya noon, sa phil childrens med center ako nanganak pero hindi siya yung nagpaanak sa akin kase nasa cebu siya noon. 40-60k nsd, 65-75k cs, ang pinapaprepare niya sa akin dati both pcmc and commonwealth hospital, private room. Hindi nga lang niya ako binigyan ng admission slip sa commonwealth kase bago palang daw at hindi siya confident baka daw kulang pa sa mga gamit.

2011 po ito!

[_AiaH_]

^ yup, pero ngayon sis okay na okay na sila. previously din yung OB na napuntahan ko dati hindi daw nya masyado nirerecommend CHMC although visiting sya dun pero kasi ngayon kumpleto na rin daw. buti nga they have FHR and contractions monitor. I also had preeclampsia so pati BP monitoring via machine narin, automatic every 15mins nagreretake ng BP ko. AFAIK noon sa FEU wala pa nung na-duty ako dati sa labor room nila.

[o9kristin]

@arragalang, tinanggalan ako ng myoma sis. Nag cause na kasi ng extreme pain. As in di ako makalakad ng maayos. Same pain pag may appendicitis. Tapos hinila na rin nya pa right yung uterus ko kaya kailangan na tanggalin. Sing laki na ng ulo ni baby yung natanggal na myoma..

@akosibulinggay, ok ba sa PCMC sis? Mas mura daw ng konti dun. Isa pang option na binibigay nya is Bernardino Hospital. Pag dun 60k lang daw tas private room na. Kaso nung nagpunta ko dun way back 2009 parang maliit lang sya and mejo luma yung pagkakatanda ko kaya nagaalangan naman ako dun manganak.

Ayoko na rin lumipat ng OB since si Dra Sox na yung nag opera sakin. Mas kabisado na nya yung tahi ko at loob ng tiyan ko? Haha! Kaso nagulat ako sa rate na sinabi nya. Di ko alam kung reasonable na ba yun or mejo mahal.

[akosibulinggay]

^ nirecommend din niya sa akin ang bernardino, 40-60k naman quote niya. Kung ako lang talaga mas gusto ko sana sa commonwealth kase maganda facilities tsaka yung nurses okay din naman, kaya lang yun nga ayaw ni doc dati.
 okay naman sa pcmc, nung time na nanganak ako dun walang tv at ref sa room then yung cr 2 private room ang nagseshare. Pero perfect yung tahi sa akin ni doc Emerson. Bawal din ang formula milk, breastmilk lang pwede, lagi kang bibisitahin ng lactation nurse. Oops sorry ot na.

[o9kristin]

^thanks sis! Try namin dumalaw sa PCMC to check kung pwede makita facilities. Wala talaga ako idea e. Ok na ok sakin na BF advocate sila. Si hubby ayaw mag formula e. Hehe!

[Tiana]

^ thanks @arragalang! Gusto ko umattend, naghahanap talaga ako ng mga free seminars malapit din sa amin yan kaya sure ako na makakaattend ako.

[arragalang]

Welcome! mag paparegister ako for April 25. Hehe baka sakali kitakits

[MomiAnn16]

Hello! Already gave birth just this April 15th here at Commonwealth Hospital.  Admitted 6 to 6:30 pm of April 14th, then 5 Hours sa Labor room and baby came out at 12:45am the following day.  stayed in a semi-private room, was discharged on the 2nd day April 16th.

So far my experience was good, the assistance and kind services made it more comfortable while undergoing labor pains, and delivery. Mababait at accomodating naman mga staffs and all.  Okay din ang service sa food, etc.  I like most about is room-in si baby and breastfeeding policy.  Ng magkamalay ako sa recovery room, dinala na nila sa akin si baby para maka-latch.  then I was transferred to my room when I become fully awake, after two hours, baby was roomed-in, and then breastfed na sya although out.

Sis do you mind sharing how much binayaran mo all in?magkano deposit if there is?

[arragalang]

Hi MommyAnn16: congrats! And ang bilis mo nanganak! i will give birth to this hosp soon also can you share more details about their services? Super caring and helpful ba nurses? How was the whole birthing experience? Did they coach you sa pushing stage and how about managing the labor pains? Do they allow the husband to cut the cord or be in the room? Are cameras allowed? Hehe sorry dami questions. Ngayon nalang kasi may nag share mg birth exp sa thread. Im happy na niroroomin agad and breatfeeding ang baby, automatic ba sya dun or you have to tell your ob? Thank you!

[MomiAnn16]

 Hi mommy christine21 and mommy arragalang - here are some of the details regarding my giving birth there:

Type of Delivery - Normal Spontaneous Delivery with epidural / OB - Dra. Gloria Samson / Room - Semi private; admitted April 14 6PM, Discharged April 16 3  or 4PM (3PM is their cut-off) / Initial Deposit - Php 5,000 / Total Hospital Bill - Php 42,000 (including anes, pedia) deducted na ang Philhealth.  PF ng Doctors must be paid in cash, other hospital bill pwede credit card.  Kasama na sa binayaran ko yung first 2 vaccine shot ni baby - BCG and Hepa B administered immediately after birth and yung Newborn Screening and Hearing Test administered 24 hours after birth.  Birth certificate mga 2 -3 weeks daw, pati result ng New Born Screening (hindi pa namin nakukuha).

Policy nila na room-in ang baby, dadalhin sa NICU after ipanganak just for routine checks then pag OK na both mommy and baby - room in na.  Strict sila sa breastfeeding policy, so no formula talaga, pero agree naman ako duon.  When I was admitted - wheel chair na ako punta labor room, okay naman assistance ng mga nurses duon, they help me become comfortable naman sa labor bed, explained to me things, asked some questions, pero magagalang naman lahat at okay naman.  Kinabitan agad ako ng fetal monitor at monitored din ang contractions, may resident OB na andun whom helped sya ang nag IE procedurally at saka si OB ko na, so wala ng ibang taga IE which is mas okay kesa previous ko experience sa panganay ko na iba-iba nag IE.  Hindi rin every hour ang pag IE, check nila ang timing ng contractions at ang pain pag nag e-elevate dun lang sila nag IE.  So all in all okay naman assistance sa Labor room upto delivery, pero syempre masakit pa rin talaga, hehe.  Coached ang pushing, pag nag co-contract na my OB instructs me to push and they count,  tinulungan din ako ni resident OB andun sya, and even Anes is giving assistance.  Pinatulog na ako after mailabas si Baby then nung nagkamalay ako sa recovery room, pero medyo grogy pa din eh dinala nila sa akin si baby for latching.  Then they transferred me in my room, a few hours later dinala na rin sa room si baby.  Husband was not allowed inside labor/delivery room, pero they allow camera i-aabot na lang kay Nurse, so be sure to have your camera ready, pumalpak kasi battery ng dala naming camera so unfortunately walang pic si baby sa delivery room.    pero okay lang, happy pa rin na kasama na namin si baby 

Sa services while nasa hospital, okay ang mga nurses magagalang sila, yung food masarap naman, ibang staffs okay di naman. 

Hope this information will be useful enough  Goodluck mga mommies to a safe delivery

^ congrats sis! Siguro depende sa katandem na pedia ni ob kung bf advocate o hindi, kase yung sis in law ko s26 agad yung milk ni baby kase wala pang milk si sil nuon, baka walang milkbank sa commonwealth hospital? Maganda talaga service sa hospital na ito tsaka yung food nila masarap din hehe..
