Our Team of Doctors at Makati Medical

After our third CAS, our OBGYN, Dr. Arlene Bravo, explained that we would have to assemble a team of doctors to work together. Though in the end, only our OBGYN, Anesthesiologist, and Neonat were with us in the delivery room, I would like to think that it was a team of doctors that got us there, to full term. As predicted, we had several complications leading to her delivery, and we are so grateful that she made it to her 37th week. We were also so grateful to have more than a day to say goodbye, have her baptized, take pictures. Since their lungs don't function properly, most CDH babies die within the first few seconds or minutes, or hours. 

Though Kat didn't make it, I can tell you, I had the best team of doctors possible here in the Philippines. They were the best of the best. And I will be always grateful for their efforts (which is why MMC is my priority in donating milk).Here is my Team of Doctors, and their contact info. I will have a separate entry for each one eventually.

SM Arena Ticketnet -- When You Lose Your Tickets

Image
I just wanted to share a great experience I had with SM Tickets / SM Arena. As I had mentioned in my previous pos t, I was not looking forward to celebrating my 30th Birthday. J, with much struggle , tried to find me other gifts, but I persuaded him to just get me the cheapest Aerosmith tickets available. I mean, what were the chances that Aerosmith was coming the eve of my birthday? They MUST be meant for me! The cheapest tickets were quite expensive at P2,600 each, considering they were GA, and he offered to buy more expensive ones. I didn't think it was practical though, since we had just paid a lot of money for tuitions in Woodrose and Zobel.  So he bought the GA tickets at Southmall, handed them over to me, and that was that. And then, I lost the tickets. That night, I was using a Cambridge satchel bag. I placed the tickets on the front pocket as soon as J handed it over to me. By the next day, the tickets had gone missing. Everything was inside the bag -- except the ...

Meat Plus Cafe (Subic)

Image
I was heavily dependent on my Samsung S4 during this road trip. For some reason, J's Iphone gave my zilch information in Baguio on its map, while the S4 gamely showed us the places to eat in the map and reviews! I had just bought it a few days ago through my old Globe plan, and it came in really handy during this trip.

Calcium Supplements for Breastfeeding Moms

Image
Often times breastfeeding moms forget to take the necessary vitamins since they're so tired or distracted.  However, taking of calcium is so so important. Your body depletes your calcium stores during pregnancy, and  some more during breastfeeding. I personally take Calcium Carbonate (Calci-Aid) by Bayer because I prefer gel capsules over tablets. The recommended dose is 1000mg, but if you're a young mom (14-18 years old) the recommended dose is 1,300 since you are also still building your bones. Calci-Aid is 500mg per capsule, so I take two a day. You can get calcium from a well-rounded diet, but I don't take chances since with out schedule, I don't get to monitor my vitamin intake. Since I don't drink cow's milk (since some of the babies I donate to are allergic to the protein of cow's milk), taking calcium supplements are important everyday. I've heard of some moms who suddenly feel weak, like their bones hurt, and their doctors tell them it's...
