Medical Paper Transactions After Childbirth

Giving birth alone or husband away is a struggle. Fortunately, I haven't experienced it myself in my two pregnancies but my sister had. If you happen to assist a birthing mom, here is a guide I can share about medical paper transactions after childbirth.

Packing Checklist for Childbirth

When my sister is on her last term of pregnancy, I gave her my previous baby things including the baby books where the packing checklist is written. She and her husband already started packing before he left for almost 2 months of business trip in Japan since she could go into labor at any time before due date. Here is my own packing checklist for childbirth which I merged from every info I got from baby articles, other moms, and my own experience.

Dengue in Kids

I know this is a late post already, perhaps I'm still in the recovery phase? Recovery from the stress of catching up things and deadlines from the tasks I had left when my 2 kids were admitted to the hospital. Yes, both of them at the same time. Ugh!

Blog for a Cause: Breast Cancer Awareness

Do you already see pink ribbons anywhere or receive flyers with pink ribbon symbols on them? Well, it’s because National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is fast approaching – October.

It was 2 years ago that I posted Mesothelioma Cancer Awareness because of a fellow blogger and a cancer survivor, Heather Von St James, emailed me about her campaign.

Today, I’m doing this for a friend, my daughter’s godmother – Roselle Pino Casanoba. She is a mom like me. She is diagnosed with Breast Cancer 2 years ago after giving birth with their only daughter, Maxyne. And until today, she is still struggling to fight this illness.

Blog Post for a Cause: Mesothelioma Cancer Awareness

Last July 20, one blogger emailed me about a campaign which is to dedicate and share a blog on a certain disease – Mesothelioma Cancer. This is the first time I heard of it, though I know there are many kinds of the devastating cancer. What surprised me more is that the sender is a survivor! She beat the odds 8 years ago but had her left lung removed. She overcame the trial and do the mission of her second life – to educate everyone about Mesothelioma Cancer and help save lives.
