I was a first-time mom at age 31. Looking back, I remember the experiences I had was truly amazing. I never thought of many things until I became a mother to our wonderful daughter.
If you are planning to have a baby soon or if you are a first-mom too, you would need a lot of help to make things right during your pregnancy period. Just to let you know, 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.
Dr. Rolando “Oyie” Balburias, President and General Manager of Delgado Clinic once stated that , “We at Delgado Clinic would like to continue the legacy of our late founder, Dr. Jesus Delgado, his VISION and MISSION, and on being the pioneer advocate of CHAMPION OF MOTHER CARE for the past 70 years.”
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.
OPTIMAL BIRTH OUTCOME
An Optimal
Birth Outcome (OBO) is achieved when there is zero or reduced complications.
The OBO program does this by providing added-value services in support of the foundational
needs of every individual mother. No matter what level of physical or emotional
health they mother comes in with, the goal of the program is to provide the
best possible childbearing outcome for each mother and child.
The OBO
program focuses on five aspects of health that are scientifically proven to
have wide ranging effects for every pregnancy.
•
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 mangament workshop mothers
are taught the 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.
Empowered

Clinic’s Optimal Birth Outcome (OBO) program aims to deliver enriching
workshops for the mother not only to give birth to a healthy baby, but also to
be holistically healthy before, during, and after the pregnancy.
