A lot of screaming and a lot of apologizing to the doctors and nurses (eksena ako masyado OR) I'll tell you, it was a totally different experience, even though I had a baby na before and I had all the same doctors and same hospital, all birthing stories are a different experience," she began.

According to Melissa, she thought the hard part was over, however, that was not the case for her and her daughter.

"We ended up staying in the hospital for 6 days after I gave birth... I thought we were going to go home the next day, since hospital was also full, and I was fine... We already had our bags packed and ready to go when our Pedia came in and said we had to stay. It broke my heart, and I was so scared for Mika, I didn't know anything about this kind of condition, her Bilirubin levels were extremely low and may cause permanent damage. I didn't know, that what I knew as Jaundice could be dangerous, I thought all we needed was a little sun, which is normal for newborns, but in Mika's case, since me and her father had different blood types and Mika got her dad's blood type (ganun pala yun) it caused her bilirubin levels to be dangerously low," she revealed.
