Dr. Ma. Cristina Pelaez-Crisologo shares with moms-to-be important pointers in pre- and post- natal care.
Asian Hospital and Medical Center recently treated moms-to-be along with their families to a fun-filled event of learning, bonding and shopping held last October 16 – 23, 2010.
Dubbed as, “Mom’s Day Out,” this week-long activity marked the culmination of this year’s ‘Simply Maternal,” a series of lectures that has become one of the most anticipated lay fora among our expectant moms and dads.
“This year, Asian Hospital and Medical Center, together with the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics and Anesthesiology, paid tribute to our patients by coming out with this exciting event that was highlighted by various activities designed to be a celebration for our new moms and our moms-to-be. It was a week especially dedicated to our patients to help them discover and learn important aspects on pregnancy, birth and newborn care while finding joy and excitement in the course of being pregnant and in becoming a new mother,” said Dr. Ma. Corazon B. De Jesus, section head of Perinatology of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology
At the event, moms-to-be and their families had a blast shopping for baby stuff and other great finds at the Mom’s Day Out Bazaar. They got to enjoy marked-down prices on pregnancy items and baby care products. Moms and dads learned about the basics of 3D and 4D ultrasound during a free lecture. Free lunch was served to all the attendees of this lecture.
Exciting activities were also in store for the kids. They got to do arts and crafts making, which bonded them more with their parents. The little ones also had the time of their lives watching a free screening of Nanny McPhee starring Emma Thompson.
A photo exhibit dubbed as “precious moments” was a much awaited portion of this event. Featured were masterpieces from proud parents whose works on display truly awed and touched the hearts of guests. Twenty finalists were chosen for their treasured moments snapshots and went home with special gift packs that included gift certificates from Kid’s clothes shop and spa, skin care products for mothers, baby care products, health items and even household items. These special gift packs will definitely aid the mom in caring for her and the baby.
Highlighting the event was the Simply Maternal symposium which reinforced the importance of prenatal care that impacts on the pregnancy outcome, newborn care and what to expect during the anesthetic procedure. The open forum was gaily participated in not only by the pregnant patients but also by the husbands.
Moreover, other helpful topics such as dressing up for the pregnant women, skin care and proper diet tips, exercise and relaxation techniques were discussed to give moms insights on how to fully enjoy their pregnancy. Interactive games and exciting raffle items were also given out to expectant moms.
Finally, a tour of the Asian Hospital and Medical Center’s Genesis Center and Huggery was conducted to give the guests and patients an idea of the pregnancy and baby care services offered by the hospital.
The event truly reiterated Asian Hospital and Medical Center’s position as the Filipino Families’ partner in pregnancy and baby care. For more information on the pregnancy and baby care services offered, call 771-9000 to 02 or visit www.asianhospital.com.
