Ay, understandable ang concern mo sa budget, lalo na first time pa lang! Honestly, mas better kung pipiliin mo lang ang isa para organized ang prenatal records mo at hindi ma-confuse ang doctors sa management ng pregnancy, kaya siguro magdecide ka muna kung saan ka mas comfortable at within budget mo, tapos mag-commit na doon. A few of us tried mag-consult sa dalawang doctors at honestly nakakacomplex lang, lalo na pag may laboratoryo results at ultrasounds na kailangan i-coordinate. Kung gusto mo talaga mag-explore ng birthing home option (which is totally valid, especially kung may good reviews from your titas), pwede mo na lang itanong sa current OB mo kung pwede niyang i-assist or coordinate with the birthing home para smooth ang transition, then pick one once you're settled on the birth plan. Good luck, mama!
