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 Fo

Separation with your Kiddo

I have experienced the most painful thing that happened in my life. The pain is more than just being heartbroken during teenage years, separation from parents after choosing my husband, more than losing a friend. I have been with my daughter since she was born. I was also given up my teaching career in a Montessori School just to bear her in my tummy. I have also spent a year after giving birth just to take care of her and breastfed her 24 hours a day. Then I was given a chance to work since my husband lose his job. A lot of trials came into my life just to have her, and now given by chance, she was not here in our side. It is quite different not to have her. I have spent all my energy, love and time to work for her to have a good life. Good thing my husband is willing to take good care of our daughter while I am at work. Few months later, he grabbed the chance to take TESDA course at University of Makati. I am proud of my husband because he is not ashamed to bring with him our d

A Pain for a Mother

I know that it is not the end of the world, but it feels like it is. Yesterday, September 1 Sunday, was one of the hardest time for my family. No one will take good care of my daughter that is why we decided to let her stay with my mother in Bulacan. I need to work for the family. And my husband needs to work, too. Last Friday he tried his chance to apply as a Computer Technician-slash-Computer Laboratory Teacher. His salary is below minimum and way beyond any salary. But he needs it for his OJT TESDA course and aside from it , it will help us support our finances. And yes, he accepted the job offer because I want him to, and our relatives want him to grab the opportunity. I want my mother to stay here, but a lot of people needs her. She spends her time in the church and serve as a cook slash person in charge in the parish. My husband and I decided to let our daughter stay there because many rely on my mother. And it is painful for a mother not to see your child grow
