Dagdag pa niya, nag-text daw ang buntis sa doktor na manganganak na siya sa hapon, Setyembre 30, subalit sinabihan umano sila ng doctor na pigilan muna ito.
Sabi pa daw ng doctor, mag-inhale at exhale na lang muna ito, wika ng sister-in-law.

INCIDENT REPORT
On September 30, 2020, a pregnant positive patient unexpectedly gave birth at St. Therese Quarantine Facility.
At 9 AM, our doctors and nurses first assessed the patient after complaining of labor pains. They donned personal protective equipment (PPE) and did an Internal Exam (IE), and continued the monitoring.
At 12:15 PM, patient complained pains persistence. Medical personnel explained what’s good for both the mother and baby. She was transferred to a long sofa visible from outside of the room. She was instructed to do deep breathing exercises, walk, and for folks to do back rub to temporize pains.
Our personnel called Western Visayas Medical Center COVID OB-Gyne Triage 5 times. Nurse on duty also called the Iloilo City Emergency Response (ICER) to standby. Clear instructions were given not to push hard because the cervix was not yet fully dilated.
Our personnel clarified: “With 3cm cervical dilatation, pushing is not recommended because of the risk for cervical laceration and this was explained to patient and folks. Internal examination must not be done too frequent so as not to introduce infection. It must be done at least every hour. However, ruptured Bag of Water is something cannot be controlled and can precipitate to active labor and eventual delivery.”
At 1:15 PM, the patient’s Bag of Water ruptured, ICER was called for immediate transport of patient to WVMC through OB-Gyne Resident’s personal phone number for endorsement.
Medical personnel were on the process of donning PPEs and while preparing to go inside patient’s room, baby was eventually delivered at around 1:30 PM.
At 1:45 PM, they were transferred to WVMC.
On allegations that they were taken for granted, please be informed that proper protocols were strictly followed for the safety of everyone.
