Emergency and safety during pregnancy and at childbirth was discussed by Dra. Ella Salvador, a pediatrician at Ospital ng Muntinlupa and Unihealth-Paranaque Hospital and Medical Center.

And finally, to be ready and being well prepared for the coming of your new bundle of joy, Chiqui Brosas, an experienced childbirth educator and doula since the 1990’s and a breastfeeding advocate since 1997, shared ways on how you can face the pain and be confident in the day of labor and some relaxation techniques and exercises through a Lamaze session.
