Can any one suggest me regarding the Maternity facility provided at Bangalore Hospital, RV Road, Bangalore. I am in my 4th month. My preference is Dr Leela Bhagwan, Apart from cloudnine she visits Bangalore Hospital too, i do not prefer Cloudnine obviously because of the COST. Since its my first pregnancy i am worried abt the facility and emergency care. Kindly help me if i have to opt for Bangalore Hospital or NO

Sorry for delay in reply . I will definately follow ur advise after landing to india as of now i have changed the doctor here and keeping fingers crossed .  Or else definately have to leave this country and come down to india permanently for the treatement . But hoping i dont land up in that situation as in chennai i need to stay with inlwas which is more stressable when hubby not around all the time ..

I would suggest you to locally ask around because these people dont travel long distances. You can ask your neighbourhood grocer, milkman, newspaperman etc. You can also ask your maid if she does.

Good Luck!!

I reside in Bannerghatta road , Akshaynagar .. If sumone has contact of any lady/maid who can come home and give masaage and bath for baby and mother ... would request you to share contacts asap .

Due is on May first week .

Thx in advance

I have a smart healthy son of 5years old. My age is 35years. I am 17 weeks pregnant- this baby was planned specially for my son. Last week after the Triple Marker Test, it was detected that the baby has high risk of Down Syndrome.

I am very depressed. Somewhere I blame myself coz after happiness of get pregnant there was a phase when i was scared of the labor pain & prayed to god that didnt want the baby. God has punished me.

We havent yet planned but most probably we would go for termination coz I dont want the baby to suffer. I have a neigbor with Deaf & Dumb child, i see her & her son suffering day n night. I dont want same to happen to my baby.

I am sorry dear baby. I want you.........................

I am amother of 3.5 yr old and am 33 nw. I have diabetes for more than 4 years. Now we are planning to have second child. 

I dont take sweets and oily food. No sugar in tea / coiffee. Doc has advised me to keep sugar under control before getting pregnant.

Mothers, pls share how u handled your diabetes from the first  trimester of pregnancy. 

Thank you

Though late, giving the story of a brave girl SHOURYA in which you will find answers to all your questions.  Shourya is my Bhabhi's brother's daughter. 

Story of our angel …..Shouryaa,

Its been 3 months , since we were blessed, with our gift of a life time by the almighty..our daughter …our little angel…… shouryaa. Hence, today, I thought of sharing my experience as a father and the story of my sweet heart shouryaa.
It had been a long wait for the miracle to happen in our lives. then one fine day the kit had the lines, we were yearning for so long. We were ecstatic. I told the news to my parents and they too were very excited. as any would be parent will do, we too started dreaming about the miracle of nature. Our lives were about to change.
Then started; routine monitoring, regular checkups, ultrasound sonography and many medical tests. To compliment that tanu started hearing spiritual music, ancient chants and garbha sanskars. and …yes…every morning..there was NARIYAL PANI too (to ensure the baby is not born dark as me.) there was a dedicated cab for tanu to her office. We didn’t compromise on anything. All in all it seemed just like a dream. Families on both sides too were very happy and excited.
Then came the day…..when we went for routine sonography in tanu’s 20 th week. This time we both were more excited as we were expecting to see the growth of our little one. As usual I was standing near the screen to have a closer look at the baby. Then the doctor said …all seems fine except…….
….i swallowed the big lump in my throat and asked doctor..what is it.
Doctor said your baby has single club foot. I asked him what is that….he told the right foot is not normal and is crooked. He further added…she will not be able to walk properly …..this was it …I was shocked and devastated to learn that the baby isn’t normal…..tanu too had tears in her eyes . 
Suddenly I started hating the doctor and doubting his skill. Tanu was extremely disturbed…I didn’t know what to tell her as I too was in a state of shock and anger…. There were obvious question why…we?? Why with us? We went home and shared the news. My parents too were deeply shocked and saddened.
We didn’t want to lose this gift in any case. This was our precious child. I comforted tanu and told her that we will sort it out by any means in the universe.
Thankfully I didn’t have to go too far. I decided to find out more about this. I googled on the net …and I couldn’t believe what I came across. The data was disturbing, yet it made me aware that I don’t need to panic and be disappointed.
Few facts about the club foot in india/worldwide are as follows,
1. Every day 150 children are born with club foot in india
2. There are about 1 million children with club foot in developing countries
3. There is no exact know cause for the club foot. However smoking or consumption of alcohol is speculated as one of them.
4. There are about 200,000 new cases of club foot every year across the world
5. One in 1000 births have club foot deformity
6. If untreated, it causes permanent walking disability
7. The existence of this condition has been documented for thousands of years and is one of the most common birth defects.

The treatment:
1. Club foot can be 100% cured by the time the child starts walking
2. Ideally the treatment should be started immediately after 15 to 20 of birth,
3. The treatment has been developed by Dr. Ponseti and hence named after him as a Ponseti method.
4. The treatment involves 7 weekly casts which make the crooked foot appear straight/normal
5. If required a minor surgery to release the muscles joints
6. Then a specially designed shoes need to be worn for 23 hrs a day for next 3 months
7. Small exercise for foot four time a day
8. At the end of these 3 months the child has to wear these special shoes only during nights or while asleep.
9. The treatment is available at nominal cost at govt hospitals like WADIA in mumbai

Yes.. this was it. I was extremely relived to learn about the treatment and the success stories of parents from all part of the world and from all economical classes. It was extremely encouraging for us. I immediately showed all video and website to my parents and they too were very happy yet anxious about it.
We knew that our angel is going to overcome the first hurdle of her life very easily, bravely and hence we decided to name her as SHOURYAA.
Its been 2.5 months of her treatment and I am happy to tell u all that she is doing great with her treatment. She has finished her casting part and now wears specially designed shoes for 23 hrs a day. She will continue to wear them this way for 3 more months. 
With few exceptions of cranky nights she has managed to bare the pain of her treatment.
She now recognises our family members and is one cute little papa’s girl. It’s incredibly amazing to see how the tiny tot has adapted herself and enjoy turning up side down overcoming the obstacles of her braced shoes.
We are slowly approaching our victory and shouryaa as always is battling bravely with naughty smile on her face. We feel fortunate to have access to such treatment and thank millions to Dr. Ponseti for developing this treatment.
We have pledged to be associated with the miracle foot foundation and I encourage all of you who are willing to help poor kid walk on their feet to do same.
Often parents are shy to share that their child is born with a deformity or disability. While I m not trying to be hero here, but I strongly feel that each child is gift of a god. Please don’t think your child’s disability or deformity as taboo or compare it with other child. It’s in your own hands, to shape up your kid and nurture its good qualities. The purpose of me writing this on FB is to share my joy of parenthood, spread awareness about this deformity, its treatment method and the international organization for this.
I hope I have been able to spread the message at least to my friends and hope the chain reaction will continue spreading more and more awareness.

Best option is to not relay on IT people (or anybody who is not a doctor) to help here. You can get 100 options/suggestions from internet and users of internet. But in your case what you need is to consult good doctor and just do as they say.

Need some serious help. Last month when I had sex with my husband, he used condoms. But after sex we realized the condom got ruptured. We have got a son who is 2 years old and currently we don't have plans to have the second child now. Hence I went to medical and asked for a tablet to prevent pregnancy. I got a tablet with the name 'Protect 72' and took it. I was in the assumption that I will not conceive as I took 'Protect 72' tablet.

After 2 weeks, I realized that my periods time was getting delayed. It delayed for almost 7 days. Hence we went to doctor and took a pregnancy test. I was confirmed pregnant!! Since it was just 7 days, we decided to abort. So I took the tablet (mifepristone and misoprostol) for aborting. 2 days after I took the tablet to abort, I started bleeding . The bleeding continued for 5 days and it stopped. We thought the pregnancy was aborted.

Again 2 weeks later, that is today, I could feel something strange in my stomach and also felt vomiting often. So we went to Doctor. Doctor asked to take a scan. So we took the scan. After we got the scan results, we are little shocked, happy and sad. The scan results showed there are three babies formed. Two babies are regular and 1 got blighted.

The person who took Scan and the Doctor said it is a rare case.

I am happy that two babies are regular. But very sad that 1 baby is blighted.
We should have taken a scan before deciding to abort. Its too late.

Now the Doctor said she has not seen a case like this in her life time. The doctor asked me to give one day time. She told she will discuss with seniors and get back to me tomorrow. Doctor told that the tablet thay I took to abort could have made more damages to all babies. At first Doctor suggested to abort all the babies, but she is not sure. She asked for one day.

Please suggest whether shall I proceed with pregnancy or abort. I am worried now I should have not taken tablets to abort it. Please share your thoughts and give suggestions. Is that possible to take care of the remaining two babies (or) the tablet that I took to abort would have made any damages to all the babies.

Please help.

Thanks & regards
Suvitha
 

keep a positive frame of mind. I never had such issues but my elder sister had and my mother had and both of them had babies.

My mother had 3 and my sister had 2 and I know many women who had even bigger issues and they conceived with time.  It might take longer for you to conceive but you would given time...

Take care

Rubu.

I have a 3yrs old daughter and now when we want to go for second child. I went to gynic as I have got irregular periods off late after 2 scans dr. confirmed that Im not ovulating.. and she will start medication from 2nd day of my next period. Is this common, my first pregnancy was a normal one. Has anyone who faced this problem conceived again.

I am 24 weeks pregnant and visiting Columbia Asia, but I have heard that charges will come upto 80k if it is C section where as my insurance has a cap limit of 50k. Could anyone suggest me the charges at Mallya Hospital. Thanks

Normally the EDD is 15 days up after 9 months...hence u will find a difference in the EDD if u go by 4 weeks in a month. A normal pregnancy takes 36weeks ...after that any time u can hear the bells ringing of the new one....:) Unless its a planned c-section. Once u enter the 9 months...ur visits will become weekly and if need be even scans would help know where u are lined up....

Once u step in 36th week u shd always keep ur bag and the new borns stuff ready.

Hence,Remembering the LMP becomes very important to calculate the EDD.

by searching  on internet you lose your peace of mind which is even more bad for the baby.. just enjoy ur first pregnancy without freaking out....

On 4th Jan-2013, I have done ultrasound called manuanl scan. as per the the report -

GA by Dates 14 weeks 0 days

LMP- 1-Oct2012

BPD- 14

CRL- 13 weeks and 6 days

NT-2,8mm

comments by doctor - Low risk for downs, normal viability.

Please suggest is every thing normal? or do I need to do some other test. My doctor said that there is nothing to worry. but I read in internet NT value greater than 2.5mm cause of some problem.

Please response.

Your help is appreicated

mu wife has pregancy in four month  kindly confimr  unko kab kab injection lagwane h . and kon kon se kindly update

Congratulations and be positive about the whole thing.I had weighed almost the same as you when I came to know of my pregnancy.I had a normal delivery.

So to put your heart and mind at peace I shared this with you.

Secondly, no one can decide or choose the kind of delivery before hand.Incase even if you have a C-Section the child will be equally healthy.Why do you look at C-Section negatively? I know of many friends who were infact healthier and more active than me having had a C-SEction.

Enjoy your pregnancy and all the attention :-) Do not think negatively or be depressed or stressed.Yes do eat healthy and small meals as suggested above and after the first trimester start some walking after your doctors advice.Some pre natal yoga classes could also help you.Again in consultation with your doctor,

I do not know which doctor you consult, but you could get a second opinion if that would make you feel better.

This is a blissful period.Be happy.

Congratulations!!! As Suvi has said, its too early to worry about all that.

But one thing is please try not to put on too much weight during pregnancy, since your weight is on the higher side. And though people say you are eating for 2!!! you are not. Have small meals throughout the day. Avoid junk food and eat healthy. This will make a healthy baby.

Putting on too much of weight may lead to complications like high BP, and Gestational diabetes.

So take care and enjoy your pregnancy!!!

As u mentioned u  r only 29yrs old, then y r u fretting so much abt getting pregnant ? u have lot of time. dont take tension and enjoy life

     I'm relieved a little to hear from u. I ll follow your advice

First of all congrats. It is just 15 weeks and you got a long way to go.  It is too early to decide whether you can't have normal delivery or not. I wonder how could the doctor told you could have problems. The doctor should have just educated about the things that you should do which would help for normal delivery.

Just be positive and look for the things that you should do for normal delivery. You could also join the pregnancy related forums like the below one:

http://www.thepregnancyforum.com

Though you get suggestions from forums, you could ask suggestions from your near and dear ones like mother, mother-in-law and grand mothers who never had an option for caesarean.

All the best. Sure it would be a normal.

Regards

   Are u confirmed to pregnancy?

  I am new to parentree.I am 15 weeks pregnant and loads of doubts are tumbling in my mind.The major thing i am worried about is my weight. I was 73 kgs during my first visit & height is 5'3''. On the first visit itself doctor told me that b'coz of my weight, i could have problems duing pregnancy and even i may can't have normal delivery.

       This thing increased my fear about pregnancy period.Is this a fact that i cant hav normal delivery?My hubby is more worried than me.we just want our baby to be healthy and normal, like any other parents.Should i hav to lose weight?Is there anything i can do to hav my pregnany & delivery easy and normal?.

    Pls if anyone experienced & overcame this kind of problem or having knowledge abt this, pls pls guide me

EV kalyani medical centre is one of the best in chennai. My two SIL's delivered their babies there. Its a bit costly but worthy. Dr.Geetha arjun was very experienced and reputed gynaec in chennai and she was also trained in abroad.

Docs in EV kalyani never talk politely or they respond to our mails or phones. But the result of the treatment u will be receiving is more important than answering our queries.  

Apart from that u can choose GG hospitals which was run by Mrs.Kamala ganesh(daughter of Gemini ganesan). It's also famous for infertility treatments.

Go ahead, think positive and All the best.

sweety

thanks in advance
