I am a Mother.
So many thoughts raced through my mind when we first scanned Ahmad Ibrahim.
His first steps.
His first cry.
His first fall.
His first vaccination, oh no that means fever!
His first day in infant care - that means socialising with his peers and that horrid weekly school bug!
His first words - determined to make sure it will be “Ibu” haha
How will his health be?
How will his development be?
I could as though visualise his years passing by.
And the list goes on, doesn’t it?
I am a Mother and it is natural to have all these in mind. We worry. It’s almost second-nature.
But what I would advise mothers out there is to take actions on what we can control.
Here are the things we can control:
1) Get the hospitalisation plan & rider. Hospital bills can amount to tremendous amount.
And especially so with the tender age of our children, we all want the best services rendered to them.
2) Get a Personal Accident Plan.
Especially when our babies are starting to taste everything they can bring to their mouths and as they are navigating their balance taking those first steps, a personal accident plan can cover what hospital bill may not.
Some personal accident plan even cover child critical illnesses and diseases.
Get those.
3) Get yourself insured. Now we have a responsibility and Amanah on our children who depends on us.
Don’t let the burden of our choices affect our children as we bring them to this world.
Speak to financial consultants on the available plans out there and what’s best suited to your financial obligations and goals.
This is from a money to another most.
