Pregnant on a Student Visa

bbgirl

Hi, gusto ko lang po i-clarify. Kasi, ang pagkakaalam ko, bawal ang mabuntis while on a student visa kasi mavovoid ang visa mo. Now, a friend of mine who is currently in Sydney told me may friend naman siya na naka Student Visa and nabuntis at nanganak doon. Pwede daw mabuntis given na kaya mo sustentuhan since hindi ka sagot ng government ng Australia (expensive daw masyado!) Totoo ba ito?

Hindi nman bawal ganun talaga eh kung di napigilan. Mga more or less $10,000 dollar ang give birth sa public hospital. Siguro including na yung OB for regular check-up. After Birth yun po ang mabigat kasi bibili po kayo ng gatas at gamit ng Baby. Pati regular check-up at ang mga kailangan bakuna ni baby. Wala po kayung makukuha na tulong sa Australian Government kasi po temporary visa kayu. Wala din po sa batas na Citizen agad ang baby nyo kapag pinanganak dito kasi po temporary visa kayu. Wala at hindi din sagot ng Private health Insurance ang panganganak sa Australia.

Kung Visa ninyo ay Student Visa Napaka yaman nyo po sa Pinas kung dito kayo manganganak. Sigurado po extended kayu sa pagaaral kasi kapag nanganak na kayu malamang 6 month kayu na hindi magaaral. Syempre kailangan tapusin ninyo ang studies ninyo. Kung ang halaga ng tuition fee nyo sa loob ng dalawang taon ay $30,000 at plus ang everyday na gastusin nyo ng dalawang taon ay $40,000 plus. I dagdag nyo pa ang gastusin give birth humigit kumulang sa $10,000 plus $20,000 sa dalawang taon sa Baby nyo gatas at iba pa. Mga total estimate for two years ay $100,000 plus plus (In peso 4.1 million++)

I advise to focus study. Good luck and God bless.

Thanks a lot! Yes, clinarify ko lang din kasi ang unang pagkakaalam ko ma vovoid ang Student Visa. Hindi naman pala.

Yes, wala naman kaming plano magkababy pa una, eh uunahin namin ang pagaaral ko pag stable na baka dun lang kami makagawa ng Baby #1 namin. 🙂

Thanks a lot!

Maiba lang po ako. Panu naman po ang pagpapareseta ng oral contraceptives dito pag student visa? Sa pinas po kasi over the counter lang. Panu po ba dito? Thanks a lot.

You need to see your local Doctor (GP-General Practitioner) to have prescription.

$70 to $85 Doctor's fee per visit for Temporary visa. cheers

Kapag oral contraceptive pills, need ng reseta galing sa GP. Pag barrier method naman, I think readily available to sa chemist na hindi kailangan ng reseta.

I'm not sure about Plan B (or morning-after pill), pero by default, no need ng prescription. No need to go to the GP, pero kailangan lang kausapin yung pharmacist/chemist.

I think bossing @TotoyOzresident's figures about panganganak is spot on. Mahal talaga. Pero if on temporary visa and with health insurance (like me), may pregnancy inclusion ang health insurance. But it has a waiting period of 1 year. And if ma-admit ang baby (kahit simpleng jaundice lang), ay additional gastusin po.

Thanks po sa info @TotoyOzresident & @Nadine. Meron po kaming OSHC yun student insurance. Hindi po kaya covered yun pacheckup sa GP? Ang sabi po kasi medical services provided by most GP-benefit amount as listed in medicare benefits schedule 100% MBS fee. Does that mean wala na po kami babayaran for GP checkup? Pasensya na po, ibang iba kasi kesa sa pinas. 🙂
