OPTIMAL BIRTH OUTCOME PROGRAM launched by DELGADO CLINIC

Mothers are extra-special :) They carry their babies in their womb for 9 long months. They are not just playing wife to their hubbies but a mother to their child or children. They have to take care of their body not just for selfish purpose but for the baby developing inside her body.

It is in this context that Delgado Clinic has thought of extending their hands to make sure that all mommies-to-be and the baby inside their wombs would be healthy and safe.

Dr. Jesus Delgado Memorial Hospital, more popularly known as the Delgado Clinic, has been championing mother care for 70 years with a record of more than a hundred thousand babies being delivered to date. From normal births to high-risk complications, the Delgado Clinic has taken an extra measure of love and personalized care as all mothers do to make sure their child not only lives, but flourishes.

True to its legacy, the Delgado Clinic introduces the Optimal Birth Outcome (OBO) program, a free three-day workshop that serves as the ultimate care, support and education system for moms-to-be designed to minimize or even eliminate congenital defect, premature birth, new-born infections, and other chronic complications for both mothers and children. The goal of the program is to provide the best possible childbearing outcome for each mother and child.

First TIme Mom Unit

The OBO program introduces the concept of group pregnancy wherein a number of moms-to-be will be gathered together to collectively learn and imbibe the five aspects of health that are scientifically proven to have wide ranging effects for every pregnancy. These are the following:

•  Nutrition and Wellness. Delgado Clinic has localized the latest scientific nutrition information to support reduced negative birth outcomes, achieve optimum growth and development of the baby and provide a stable environment from which both mother and child may spring from.

• Biotransformation & Elimination of Toxicants. The advent of urbanization has surrounded mothers with multiple toxic elements that are often missed and unassessed. Pulling from the latest scientific evidence, the OBO program equips mothers with the practical knowledge of avoiding and substituting today’s most commonly used harmful chemicals.

• Stress Management. Stress during pregnancy affects a child’s developing brain, metabolic system and body. Through the OBO stress management workshop, mothers are taught multiple ways of managing stress and its link to long term maternal and child diseases.

• Exercise in Pregnancy. Physical exercise is an activity that improves or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness. Exercise during pregnancy is important and can help with some common discomforts of pregnancy and support the body for labor, delivery and life after delivery.

• Sleep Management. Establishing good sleep patterns during pregnancy is physically, psychologically and emotionally important. A good sleep pattern plays an important role in the preparation for birth, and protects the baby from the psychological stresses and strains of pregnancy.
