The HPV vaccine is most effective when given before any exposure to the virus.
It is recommended for routine vaccination at ages 11–12, but it can be started as early as age 9.
Catch-up vaccination is also recommended for individuals up to age 26.

Mother C.B. began experiencing uterine contractions (hilab) at 7 months of pregnancy. She was admitted for labor control and steroid administration to promote lung maturity. A workup to determine the cause of preterm labor was conducted, but all results were normal. Preterm labor was controlled, and the patient was subsequently discharged.

During the interim, the patient had asthma exacerbations.

At 8 months, the patient experienced a recurrence of uterine contractions (hilab), now with ruptured membranes (pumutok ang panubigan) and dilated cervix (bukas ang kwelyo ng matres). The baby was still in a transverse presentation (pahiga), so we proceeded with an emergency cesarean section for malpresentation.

We were concerned about delivering a 32-week baby due to the risks of respiratory distress and potential need for intubation and mechanical ventilation (tutubuhan para makatulong sa paghinga).

Preterm labor—labor that starts before 37 weeks—can lead to preterm birth. If you notice frequent contractions, back pain, or unusual discharge during pregnancy, SEEK MEDICAL CARE IMMEDIATELY!

Mommy C.B. and Daddy A.B. knew how to seek timely care, which allowed us to complete steroid administration for lung maturity and promptly deliver a healthy baby. Good job, Mommy C.B. and Daddy A.B.! Congratulations!

Getting vaccinated while pregnant protects both you and your baby after birth.

The recommended vaccines for pregnant women are:

1. Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis) - once during each pregnancy
2. Influenza vaccine - annually, especially during flu season
3. Hepatitis B vaccine - for unvaccinated, high risk patients

Getting vaccinated while pregnant protects you and your infant after birth. Hear from an ob-gyn expert about her personal experience and why she chose to get recommended vaccines to protect her family 👉 https://bit.ly/3U89dsb

Giving birth must be incredibly challenging; even the Bible uses it as an example of sorrow. Hearing this verse reminded me of Mommy C.W., who cried so much when I told her she needed a C-section.

Mommy C.W. is a second-time mom. Her first baby was delivered vaginally and weighed 3 kg. She’s very active, exercises with a yoga ball, and maintained a healthy weight gain during pregnancy.

Her labor progressed smoothly until she reached 8 cm dilation. We waited three hours, but there was no further progress, and signs of fetal distress began to appear.

When I explained that a C-section was necessary, she broke down and said, “Doc, sayang naman po lahat ng pinag hirapan natin.”

During the C-section, we noted a cord coil, and the baby weighed 3.45 kg.

It’s really unfortunate—a C-section is more costly, the recovery takes longer, and it leaves a scar. But at the end of the day, the baby’s health is what truly matters.

Congratulations, Mommy C.W.! Don’t stress about the scar; you’re still as beautiful and amazing as ever! 🥰
