Giving Birth At Last in Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital: Expenses

As I recall the experience I had when I gave birth to Lanchiel, I have computed the fees we had way back November 2011. I hope it will help those mommies whose anxieties are high.

I know and I have been there. I was confused. I did not know what to do. I was really anxious and I want to be out of my mind and my body.

Pregnancy is really one of our anxious state. It is a phase of our life where we pray ten folds and keep our money hundred fold just to be prepared on this once in a lifetime event.

I had here our breakdown of expenses in giving birth at Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital:


Expenses:
1.) 2,500php  2,000php for Hospital Bill (3day stay at Charity Ward + Doctor's Fee) 500php discount
                                   after an interview made by DSWD
2.) 3,500php for medicine treatment for Meconium Stain for 3days + Anesthesia & Dextrose while
                                   having labor/delivery
3.) 2,000php for our Taxi Bills
4.) 2,000php for To-go Food I have eaten at the Visitor's Lounge + Lanchiel's Diapers + Tatay's
                                   Transpo for 3days


Giving birth is not the end of these type of expenses. It is just the start. That is why I applaud and love my parents more because I have realized the hardship of being a parent.

Food Review: BFF Fries & Coke Float

To tell you honestly, I am skeptic about food. I really love to eat toothsome and palatable food but I made some conditions in eating those food - it should be inexpensive and at the same time the three of us should eat it. I am really frank about these standards of mine for the reason that our family falls to a middle and not-so-poor-but-nearly-poor class (tell you the reasons next time). Then we went to McDonalds to eat something salty and would satisfy our binge eating habit.  Then I suddenly saw a picture of their new meal. (This article is not being paid by McDonalds. I just wrote this to those who want cheap finds.) An ad about their new product - McDonalds' BFF Fries and Float combo. I didn't even hesitate  to order this one because first - we love their coke floats, second - we love eating french fries and third - it only cost 150php good for 3. Not only those reasons but mainly because I want to eat longer than the usual and want to spent more time with th

Go Nuts Donuts: 20php Donut Craze

Honestly speaking, I am not that kind of person who spend a lot of money for food, except if it is worth the price. So here it goes, last time my husband saw a donut stall at Market! Market! and says "Markdown Price for 20php". I was hesitant at first because I am not sure if it worth buying, and 20php is too expensive for a 'Kuripot' (Thrifty) person like me. Since my husband is aware that I am kuripot, he decided to buy it for us so that we can try this Go Nuts 20 pesos donut. Go Nuts 20php Donut Craze Undoubtedly, I taste soooo good. My daughter actually liked it.. Look at the picture below.. My daughter have eaten this all by herself. She now have a happy tummy. She can't help but smile because it really delicious, plus the fact that has a chocolate icing on top. The taste is worth its price.

Giving Birth At Last in Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital

Giving birth is really hard. You can feel the hardship physically, emotionally and spiritually. Not only the pain, but you could also feel fear. Fear of surviving you and your babies' life. November 15, 2011 (11-15-11, 6-9pm) I decided to go to East Rembo Lying-In Center. Since I expected that I will give birth normally, I decided to go there first. I waited the doctor for hours. Until she said I should come back the following day for another Internal Examination. Since I saw greenish discharge from my underwear and feel a hunch that my baby will come out,  I forced my husband to bring me to Ospital ng Makati. November 15, 2011 (11-15-11, 9-12am) We have a Yellow Card that is why we want to go at Ospital ng Makati. Being a Yellow Card holder entitles me not to pay any hospital expenses if it is 10,000php below. If above 10,000php, I will only pay 300php. I filled up a lot of forms, waited for the OB, had my ultrasound (for the -Nth time). Sadly, their Deliv
