Doc's to prepare before Labor

...hi mga mommies / mom-to-be,

here it goes...aside from our Hospital bag: clothes ni mommy ni baby and ni daddy and other things to bring and ofcourse money or card don't also forget
Goverment Documents and ID's (include pen)..

Here it follows:

1. SSS
            > If you are a member and highest contribution ka mommy (like me) here dapat yung makukuha mu in advance to your employer: (it means 1month advance as per SSS policy).
            > 32,000.00php is the new Maternity benefit (based on new Table of contribution 2014) and it is under NSD or yung tinatawag na NORMAL Delivery; just in case na CS ka the amount you can get from SSS is 41,900.00php pero since hindi mo naman malalaman agad na CS ka if wala ka namang other health condition usually 32,000.00 lang muna..yung 9,900.00php na additional is pagbalik mu na ng office.

But if may health condition ka na no choice kundi CS, you need to submit Health requirements and Doctors recommendation, pwede din daw ang Medical history to prove your claim in your office so they can release 41,900.00php na agad...para di ka na mag re-imburse.

If hindi ka naman highest contributor ask your HR na lang how much you can get;

then if voluntary ka naman, you can go to nearest SSS brach near you then sila na yung magcompute and even issue a cheque via delivery to your home address na nakarecord sa kanila so better update your information para less hassle.

2. Philhealth
              > MDR - you can get your MDR (Member Data Record) at any Philhealth branches.  (update your MDR as much as possible like if you are single to married; or change of surname;address;contact number and so on).

If you are not a Philhealth member and your hubby is, then your hubby can get his MDR at any philhealth, then dapat dependent ka nya para pwede mong magamit.
            > CF1 (Claim Form 1) - you can request it to your company before hand, para masign nila yung sa may employer part..request two copies for you and for your baby.

If si hubby ulet ang may philhealth same procedure lang request sya ng two copies sa company nya...pwede namang blank details muna the ifill-up na lang..ang importante dun yung employer part. para hindi na magpapabalik balik sa company.

            > Certificate of Contribution - you can request it to your company. request 2 copies na din for sure lang.

Same procedure pa din if si hubby ang may philhealth. HR naman po ang gumagawa nun.. :)

Ok here is the other possible question:
>if both of you is Philhealth member -  you can both use your philhealth but not in the same purpose..get it..example si mommy can use her philhealth benefit for DELIVERY/ LABOR, then si Hubby can use his Philhealth for BABY - hospitalization/newborn screening etc. Then sa requirements kelangan nyo both magrequest na MDR; CF1 and certificate of contribution.
dont forget your Philhealth ID and ballpen (black).

>if Voluntary member - same requirements lang; certificate of contribution and CF1 can be requested at Philhealth offices near you.

if di ka member - ofcourse you cannot avail.. if not continously ang contribution payment mo naman..better go to Philhealth office near you and inquire habang may time pa..

NOTE: Pregnant is always a Priority like senior and PWD..so no need to fall in line.

3. Others
             >  for less hassle lang po bring na din the following:
                      > Marriage Contract (original and photocopy) - for marriage only
                      > MAT 2 - if voluntary member ka sa SSS; if member you can also bring if you want.
                      > Other Government ID's; Company ID and other valid ID
                      > Ballpen - Black and Blue pen (make sure na sumusulat naman)
                      > If may BIRTH CHEAT SHEET ka,,bring na din para hindi hassle yung pagfifill-up for Birth Certificate ni Baby..
                      > Prepare na din Mother's Infornation sheet para less question na sa hospital.
                      > Credit Card / Debit Card / Money (Bills & Coins) - for Hospital bill/ other na bibilhin; foods; parking etc.
                      > Don't forget your Cellphone with LOAD and full charge (bring charger na din for sure_) and CAMERA :)

That's all mga moms..hope it can help..if may additional kayo na needed and important pa to bring and to prepare..please post a comment so we can help others...

Thank you & Happy Reading!

God Bless :)

• Pajamas & Short (I get the larger size) - 12pcs = 360.00
• Cloth Diaper    (good quality cotton and the one that easier to dry esp.this season)- 1pack = 220.00
• Bonnet      (whooa they agree for 3pcs)- 3pcs = 50.00
• Socks (assorted color with design)        3pairs = 100.00
• Mittens and white socks ( i forgot the correct term for the socks like hehhee) = 2 dozens = 200.00 (1 dozen each for 100pesos)
• Blanket (they called it kumot-kumutan :) ) colored mint green - 1pcs = 150.00 (malaki sya na medyo manipis malambot sa balat)
• Hood Blanket (1-cotton na manipis color green; 1-makapal and soft na green with design) - 2pcs = 200.00
• Cloth Bimpo (patali ung style, ayaw ko kasi nung padikit) - 6pcs = 50.00 (for other style same price lang)
• Frog suits (colorful lahat ng available pili ka na lang ng maganda, mostly big sizes available) - 1pcs = 120.00
• Bigkis (I'm not sure if still needed, but anyway I bought 1 dozens bcoz its cheaper and the cotton is a good quality) = 1 dozens = 50.00
• Milk Dispenser (w/ BPA free label, im not sure if it is really BPA free but anyway I'm planning to buy another at SM; it's a circle with opener and lock (twisted lock) at side, bale apat ung pwedeng lagyan nng milk) - color green = 1pc = 60.00
• Baby Powder Dispenser ( nakalimutan ko ung tawag), pero kulay green pa din with puff inside - 1pcs = 35.00
• Baby Bag (bag for diaper; milk etc) big sizes and may pagka water proof ung tela = 1pc = 150.00
• Tsaka pala yung pansapin sa beddings pag magpapalit ng diaper si baby 1pcs - 65.00 (di ko alam yung tawag, sorry)

Here naman libre ni Tita for my Baby:

• Comforter (the big one in size, they have a lot in different colors and cute design, I prefer teddy bear) - 1set = 360.00 , (if you want the small version na comforter meron din sila for 180.00)
• Kulambo / Mosquito Net (ung parang payong or pantaklob ng ulam ung style hehehe ofcourse color mint green, then isang size lang meron eh malaki lang, different colors lang) 1pc = 120.00
• Then yung hood blanket sya na din yung nagbayad :) lucky ♥♥♥

For feeding bottles we bought with my mother at Centro Mall

• Check for BPA free feeding bottles and other plastic material (as per my sister para safe kay baby)
• for my baby, yung binili namin 3oz na kasi konti lang ung pag itan ng laki sa 2oz and sobrang liit naman ng 1oz. ung price medyo mahal kasi mini mall na eh for 1pc = 74.75 pesos each
• Bottles cleaner brush - 1pc = 65.50
• Milk Dispenser (the common one, ung patong patong) - 1 pc = 94.75

Dahil ang cute ng damit ng mga baby, bumili ulet kami ni mother ng Longsleeve namin for 3pcs = 194.00 na (sooo mahal di ba, compare to divi, wala kasi silang stock sa divi ng longsleeve)

Frogsuites 1pcs - 220.00 (dalawa na ung binili namin, ang cute ng design kahit medyo mahal).

I also bought Babybed with Net (actually this one is foldable and with net and pillow included) for 399.00 there is alot of colors to choose from; the net is the one you need to pull it up. There are also other design for 369.00 but no pillow and you also need the foam or comforter to serve as baby's bedding, but net is the zipper type and you just have to fold it like the foldable fan (ung mga bilog na fan hehehe, if you can figure it out like that...sorry no picture available). (next time I try to put some pictures.

Well, baby's checklist konti na lang, crib/playpen/stroller/clippers and so on.... wait for my next blog hahha if you find it magulo, pag tyagaan nyo na lang...Happy Reading!!! ♥

Good luck mga mommies and to mom to be cheers ☺☺☺
