Question

Hi! Im currently 18 weeks pregnant. My due is on oct 06 pa naman. Pero now kasi problema ko pera sa panganganak ko. Im working naman with 19k monthly salary and my hubby is minimum wager. Currently no ipon pa sa panganganak ko which is cost 150k-200k payward. I was diagnosed acute autoimmune thrombocytopenia purpura last oct 2021, my hema told me na wag pakapante kahit pa nag normal na yung platelet count ko. There a times na pwedeng mag drop down. Ang pinakalowest platelet count ko po pala is 44k . Pang 2nd baby ko na po ito. Sa first child ko emergency cs po ako due to gdm, sub-clinically hypothyroidism, double cord-coil, unstable fetal heart rate and movement. Naka 100k po ako nung 2019. Now po halos doble na po. Madami din kasi expense like nag rerent po kami ng house. What should i do? If mag opd check up po ako which is malaki matitipid ko pero iba ibang doktor na po ung mag hahandle sakin? Or private ob pero ang gastos is 150-200k? #advicepls

Kung kaya naman pag laan ang private OB, why not. Advice lang po, try nyo I consider kumuha ng HMO insurance, free check up sa private doctor then may makukuha ka pang reimbursement pag nanganak ka. Kung di naman Keri, hanap ka po philhealth accredited na hospital. Yung Konsulta program ni philhealth Basta member ka po pwede Kang mag pacheck up Ng libre sa selected Konsulta provider mo po. Malaking bagay na Rin Yung matitipid mo sa prenatal check up mo since libre instead na gumastos ka ng about 500 pesos per check up
