A gentle reminder for my patients and bantays 🤍
- Dr. Julia 👩‍⚕️

When I give my personal number, it is so you can reach me when needed. However, it does not mean that I am available 24/7. If your concern is not an emergency, please leave a message first or ask if it is okay to call. Wait for my reply and do not bombard me with messages.

🏥 If you are admitted:
For concerns such as room transfers, billing, documents, or other hospital processes, please approach the nurses’ station or the appropriate hospital department first. I am not in the hospital 24/7, and not every hospital process is under my control. In private hospitals, the resident-on-duty can assist with these concerns and relay important matters to me.

🏥 For government hospitals:
Please manage your expectations. We deal with high patient volumes and limited manpower, so we follow a triage system—patients with more urgent and critical needs are attended to first. Not every request can be accommodated immediately, and staff cannot always provide updates or assistance on demand.

👩‍⚕️ If you have questions about your patient’s management:
Feel free to ask during rounds or politely ask when I would be available for a more detailed discussion. In most cases, the diagnosis, treatment plan, and expectations have already been discussed during consultation or admission.

A little patience, proper communication, and respect for the healthcare team go a long way. We are all working toward the same goal: safe and appropriate care for our patients. 🤍

🤰 3rd trimester:
“Doc, gi-refer ko kay hupong (edematous) akong tiil.”

Hupong tiil during pregnancy: normal ba or delikado?

Not all swelling in pregnancy means something is wrong. But edema can sometimes be a warning sign, so it should not simply be ignored.

🩷 USUALLY BENIGN / PHYSIOLOGIC EDEMA

Common especially in the 3rd trimester because:

• The growing uterus puts pressure on the veins returning blood from the legs → fluid tends to accumulate in the lower extremities.
• Pregnancy naturally increases total body fluid and blood volume.
• Swelling is usually mild, gradual, and more noticeable at the end of the day, especially after prolonged standing or sitting.

What can help?
🦶 Elevate your legs when resting
🚶‍♀️ Avoid prolonged standing or sitting
👟 Wear comfortable footwear
🛌 Lie on your side, preferably the left side
💧 Stay adequately hydrated
🧂 Maintain a balanced diet; avoid excessive salt intake

🚨 WHEN EDEMA IS A WARNING SIGN

Be more concerned when swelling is:

⚠️ Sudden or rapidly increasing
⚠️ Involves the face, hands, or around the eyes, not just the feet
⚠️ Associated with high blood pressure
⚠️ Associated with severe/persistent headache
⚠️ Blurred vision, flashing lights, or other visual changes
⚠️ Upper abdominal/right upper abdominal pain
⚠️ Difficulty breathing
⚠️ Sudden significant weight gain

These may be signs of gestational hypertension or preeclampsia, which can develop after 20 weeks and commonly presents in the latter part of pregnancy.

🩺 WHAT WILL YOUR OB CHECK?

If you present with significant edema, your doctor may check:

• Blood pressure
• Urine for protein
• Platelet count
• Kidney and liver function
• Baby’s growth and well-being, when indicated

Remember: swelling of the feet alone does NOT diagnose preeclampsia. But new or unusual swelling especially when accompanied by other warning signs deserves proper assessment.

💗 So, “hupong tiil” can be part of a normal pregnancy but sometimes, it’s your body telling us to check more closely.

👩‍⚕️”Ma’am when nag sugod ang bleeding?”
👩‍🦳 “Dugay na doc”

👩‍⚕️”Ma’am when ang first day sa last regla nimo?”
🤰 “Nalimot ko doc”

👩‍⚕️”Ma’am ipa sunod nato ang details sa pag panganak, sugod sa una abot sa last. Unsa na tuig ka nanganak”
🤰 “(A very long pause) Nalimot ko sa una abot sa ika 4. Basta ang ika 5 pag 2016 dagway or 2017.”

We understand that going to a hospital, especially a busy public institution, can be stressful. But there is a reason why we need to ask so many questions. 🩺

🤰The world of OBGYN, especially in a public hospital, can be very busy. Aside from moms screaming while in labor, worried and impatient bantays, emergencies, admissions, deliveries, and all the work that needs to be done, we also need to make sure that every patient gets the right assessment and appropriate care.

‼️One thing that can make history-taking challenging and time-consuming is when patients are unable to recall their basic medical and obstetric information.

💡So, ladies, before your OBGYN consult, here are some basic things you can prepare:
