Hello I lost count of the days in quarantine. Maybe morehan a month already since ECQ, now it's called GCQ. This will definitely mark as one of the baddest history of our lives, I really hope we come out alive and healthy - I believe God will never abandon us and will protect us always.
So Im just here sitting in the room sipping ice coffee from Dunkin Donut, the most missed donut since ECQ started, while husband is working his ass off PS4 ingaaay!
Hello May Im 34.5 weeks pregnant!
A lot has happened yesterday, we fight because of. single careless call.
Just a disclaimer Im not hating it's just natural to react and fight back of what feels wrong especially now Im in the last trimester. Imagine how many jumble things are in my mind right now.
It's hard to deliver in times like this fucking covid plus ECQ , no checkup for morethan a month - and unresponsive OBGYN. You heard it, I have issues with my OB.
To begin with, my OB is my mom and sisters OB which means shes tried and tested thats why i was refered to her even she doesnt have HMO. She hates HMO which is a bummer on my part cause it really helps working class like us - a lot. To consider her is such a big decision knowing I have maternity HMO package of 50k and I easily throw it off the window just to have her as OB. So here it goes...
On my second trimester, she went like "Im going states on April".. So I was shookt to the core like "Dra how about me, who will deliver the baby?" She goes "If im still here I will do it, if clinic renovation finished early Ill fly and Ill transfer you to my colleague in Delgado." On my mind I was worried but shrug it off my shoulder cause it looks like it's okay since her colleague is reliable. I asked her questions, the thing I dont like is we end up telling stories thats non pregnancy related. The truth is I really want to discuss my birth plan but we end up with something else. That time I was with my sister, she came with us(Jose) to ask when Dr (her pedia husband) will come home for Liam's checkup. Still, Faye went home empty handed, no concrete answer when the dr is coming back. Dra just said she'll message Faye etc., Okay there's nothing we can do about it - but then again she didnt refer.
Fast forward third trimester. I asked her if we can have 2 OB so I can use my HMO - she answered you can have new OB go for it. I got scolded by Mom and sis they want dra cause she's the best atleast they tried her. So Okay fine, told Dra I prefered her service over OB if thats ok, then asked if I can walk already in prep for delivery. She asked whens my due and said I can start Friday (May1).
So I walked in lessthan 15 min carpark on Friday with husband. After I finished thats when the dilemma started. I texted her "Dra Im done walking is 15 mins okay? and will there be any checkup before my delivery on May15"? She called, and I aswered right away.
I mentioned I felt sudden sakit puson when I walked and she said okay (like not interesting) then proceeded with the most tragic statement you could ever hear from your OBGYN.
"May ni-rerequire na na covid test for pregnant e, new protocol." She said. I was left aghast , like shocked of all "COVID TEST" imagine how many days I stayed home just to avoid exposure and now this she was referring testing hospitals like St Lukes and FE delmundo. OMG! Are you kidding dra?? Why? said it's protocol. Even Im shooked, I asked family members like ate chic who had her rapid test. Dra doesnt even know thers rapid testing. She said matagal pa result etc and she'll try to search for hospital. So I asked theres rapid testing results are given after 15 mins, and then she said it's ok. She called again and said I require chect xray - it was like stabbing words. DOC! Isnt harmfull for pregnant? She said no! okay what can i say shes the doctor. But I know for sure xrays are not good for pregannt I google a lot and heard so many stories of miscarriage or abnormalities because of xray. So I contacted Delgado, luckily my sister have landline she the questions for me and again I was shooked!!!' I asked Dra shall I get the test right away as in as soon as possible - she said yes! OMG why if my delivery date is May 15??? It feels suspicious so I contacted the hospital.
1.) It is not a requirement to get COVID test for pregnant but some OBGYN requires it. SO it's Dra who needs the negative result
2.) They only require Checst Xray - if i have symptoms - But again dra didnt even asked if I have cough or any flu like symptoms or runny nose - she just needs shest xray na parang ang dali dali nagyong ECQ!!
3.) Last but not the bombshell turning point of running out of my OB is that - she no longer affiliated in Delgado! OMG talaga how much more danger is she giving us?? Imagine laboring and she just found out she cannot practice in the hospital anymore ending is transfer din ako sa iba dba. BUKING tlga.
I mean she puts too miuch danger to my family. And she's not being honest and straightforward.
So I gotta say goodbye.
Nag away pa kame ng asawa ko because it really shookt us to the core. We are literally left with no words to describe it na ano iniisip ni Dra na we'll go to testing centers (cause she's saying na matagal pa result) at pumila together with PUI, PUM or positive??? How much more exposure a pregannt woman can get dba? So this is a clear NO NO!!! To take the test as early as now means it has nothing to do with delivery on May 15 kase I can be infected in between diba so what tests ulit pag nanganak nako?but the negative result she badly needs is just for her own safety , for the checkup that I badly needed cause we were not checked for morethan amonth na and it's too risky especially malapit nako manganak. I get it she needs to protect herself but be honest, you couldnt have said straight to my face it's not protocol but I need it cause Im senior - I would understand and probably would say no never mind we shall see on my delivery day nalang.
I end up talking to delgado and we agreed I will come on May 15 when GCQ is lifted to get my new OBGYN. But Im ready to deliver, wla na magagawa randon na tlga ang OBGYN na ma aassign k=saken since emergency.
Ending is walkin ako at I dont have OBGYN!
OKAY KALMA NA.
It's just a waste of time, waiting for un interested OBGYN I could have had new OBGYN if she released me right away.
A very bad decision to keep secrets of your status, like not affiliated and no birthplan.
And finally to be asked to be expose the decision is very bara bara. WE are talking about the life of my child, so please dont make me look like aso na kahit ano ipagawa mo kahit dangerous you expect us to do. PLease lang sa mga dr please be considerate and alamin mo muna yung condisiton tlga bago ka magpakasigurado na magpapa check kme sa mga COVID test centers baka pumunta kme negative pag labas namen positive na kame. We are not tanga naman. Sorry for the rant but it makes me angry everytime I remember the words she's uttering. To think na sabi ni Delgado we will have the test her during your delivery na, on the same dapat.
Sana maging honest din mga dcotors, pra naman we feel secure and assured hindi yung stress lang din nabibigay. Ayun lang I pray that she's okay cause it doesnt feel right lalo Im always the one texting no kamusta from her feels like she's not instresedt. di nya alam kelan due ko, di nya alam complete name ko so what do you expect, how the hell can I depend on her?
Sorry Doc, but I cannot continue with you anymore.
Thanik you for the time, especially the timing to get this baby - BUT I KNOW IT'S BECAUSE OF GOD NOT YOU. Like you said prang biro biro lng ito nuon - it hurts cause we are not kidding we are seriously wanting a baby, and I thank God for this wonderful blessing. So Doc tata!
xo,
Fran
