This was my first pregnancy journey and I started with one of the established hospitals in HAL road based on friend’s suggestion ( being new to Bengaluru), later with too much disappointment and tears approached Dr Anita on 50th day. On our (Husband & I) first visit, we were filled with joy as Dr Anita confirmed and made us hear baby heartbeat !!!
To start, Anita was 3rd doctor during my pregnancy journey and was suggested by colleagues in office. Later did I learn as handful of my peers already delivered a kid by consulting Dr Anita 😊. This gave me immense confidence.
She is a very friendly and nice doctor who encourages her patients to enjoy the beautiful journey of pregnancy and child birth, rather being apprehensive about it. Brings more positive vibes, build trusts and confidence in patient through charming smile and good way of treatment.
Be the 10th or 20th patient in waiting list at Diva Care, Dr Anita listens patiently and understands background, before suggesting next steps or medications. I was on minimum medications through out my pregnancy. This made me feel more comfortable during the entire 9 months as doctor was transparent. She makes sure she understands her patients well and after every visit there is a feel of contentment that I have been taken care and in safe hands.
During the last trimester, I had plans to join prenatal yoga, for normal delivery based on friend’s suggestion. Doctor made upfront suggestions as not to join for any such classes. She kept insisting on performing household work, squatting, walking and sit on haunches.
Unfortunately, I was running high fever as 101 F in last couple of days before delivery and doctor was very supportive, kept comforting by providing right medications and advise.
My labour progressed very slowly but the Dr was extremely patient. My temperature started rising the night before delivery. Dr Anita immediately rushed at 11.30 PM and attended me. Understanding that my hubby did not have dinner, she was with me for almost an hour till he could finish of his dinner.
After tiresome 26 hours labour (yes, its strenuous twenty-six hours 😊), I started shouting and screaming for a c-section. However, monitoring that all essentials are pretty much under control, she encouraged and at a point even forced for a normal delivery. Only because of her efforts and couple of junior doctors, I could have normal delivery and our baby boy was delivered super healthy on October 25 😊.
I would take 0% credit on this and all I did was mostly follow doctor instructions.
In a nutshell* ** **** ** ******* ********* , experience and positive attitude helped me during pregnancy tenure and was super satisfactory on all dimensions and we are extremely happy that we found the right person. Thank God.
Last, we will continue to recommend her to many of our friends, neighbours and truly bound to her in gratitude
Imp: One humble suggestion I would like to give specially to the first-time mommies-to-be, please follow Dr Anita's advise blindly. Do not google and complicate things !! Keep calm, you are in safe hands with Dr Anita being your Gynac.

*** ***** *********** ** *** ** *** **** ****** ** **** **** *** ** *** *****
I had difficulty conceiving coz of PCOD and had consulted several doctors/taken different medication in four years post marriage.
Finally one of my collegue suggested Dr. Anita from Motherhood hospital.
She welcomed us with her sweet smile, listened to us patiently..
She had an exact plan in her mind for my treatment and gave us confidence with the first visit itself.
Within six months of her treatment, we got the much awaited result. :)
Being the first pregnancy, we had lots of doubts/worries in our mind. During every consultation, she gave us lot of time and listen to our doubts and concerns and answer them patiently.
All our worries would vanish and we used to feel so much relieved and happy after meeting her.
She encouraged me to continue with my normal routine/activities and just enjoy pregnancy and not to worry about anything else..
And no unnecessary visits/medicines/test etc. As we stay quiet far away from her clinic, many a times she had asked us to send scan report, test report etc via email and not come in person so that I can avoid travel..
And she responds immediately over phone in difficult/emergency situations even if that's in the middle of the night!..
My 2nd trimester was scary as I got Dengue fever, CSR (blurred vision during pregnancy) etc, however Dr Anita helped us sail through those scary days with her positive attitude and caring and comforting approach!..
She takes care of us so well and guide us like an elder sister.. she is just exceptional!..Doctor ensured that the entire journey of pregnancy was made tension free for us.
If you are consulting her, be rest assured that you are in safe hands! A doctor whom we can blindly trust :)
I strongly recommend Dr. Anita for any infertility/pregnancy related issues, you will surely get the results very soon.
I have recommended her to many of my friends and continue to do so; a very approachable doctor, a very nice human being!..
We are forever grateful to Dr. Anita for her wonderful support during my entire pregnancy and making the whole journey so memorable. Thank you dear doctor..
Visited For InfertilityPregnancy
*** ***** ** ** ***** *** ** *** ****** ** **** *** *** ****** *** ** ********* *** ********* ************ *** *********** ********** We visited Dr Anita after trying for pregnancy for almost one year. She suggested required tests. Important to note is she doesn't suggest any unnecessary tests and suggests best lab for respective test which is really helpful.
When our parents checked with another Dr based on our reports in native place she directly said we should go for IVF but when we asked Dr Anita she said not to think about IVF and worry, rather be positive and said it's possible normally. Yes, Dr Anita was so right.
After a treatment of 5 months from Dr Anita we could conceive. During pregnancy consultations also she was always very cool and never puts any unnecessary restrictions rather always said to enjoy the pregnancy and be happy. She never called for unnecessary visits during pregnancy.
During one of the scan she found that my amniotic fluid was low so she suggested to drink 6 ltr of water and good diet rather than medicines which most of Dr. suggest. I have seen many Dr who just keep scaring patients and prescribe unnecessary medicines. But she always prescribed only required medicines and always gave us confidence and said not to worry.
She is known for her track record of normal delivery and from first day of pregnancy she was like to go for a normal delivery. She suggested exercise from 20 weeks for normal delivery which really helped.
My baby had umbellical cord around her neck so we were quite apprehensive about normal delivery in such case but she was so positive and said it should not be an issue. While I has seen cases in my family where Baby had loop around neck and Dr. just did c-section without giving any option but thanks to Dr Anita that we could have a normal delivery. When I had my delivery(induced labor) we met with another patient of Dr Anita who was also admitted for labor induction and Dr. tried her best and gave 6 labor induction gels which proves she always tries her best for normal delivery.
These days when we see Dr who work just for money and doesn't care about patients well being she is just exceptional. She loves her work and doesn't work for money. *** ** *** *** ******* *** **** *** for fertility, pregnancy consultation and normal delivery Don't even think once. *** ** *** ***** Thank you so much mam.

Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
The story of a PCOD girl wanting to conceive is a story which requires patience, support from husband, perseverance and belief in yourself, However, all this is not easy to achieve unless you have someone like Dr. Anita to look after you and hand hold you through the journey like a loving sister. I feel totally blessed to have met her.
It requires a loving heart to take out so much time for each patient and keep trying with a never give up attitude.
Mine was an adamant PCOD and it was a long journey before I could conceive. Instead of feeling irritated about the continuous visits for follicular study etc, I was always rejoiced to meet her. You really cant talk about your struggle to many but Dr. Anita would always make herself a part of my sorrows and happiness.
If you are consulting her, be rest assured you are in the best hands possible and patience will pay surely!
While I write this I have a 16 month old healthy baby. Its just not about conceiving but even post that the journey to motherhood has been greatly looked after by her.
Words aren't enough to express my love and gratitude towards her!
Feeling blessed,
Pratibha :)

Friends of mine had gushed about a wonderful Doctor named Anita Balakrishna when they were having babies and when it was my turn my choice was her. She made my whole journey of maternity such a joyful memory. I suffered severe nausea until 7 months and while many people around me started prodding questions that my baby will be malnourished or otherwise , she assured me that everything was normal and fine . Apart from my vital supplements she didn't pump me with medicines or send me into an unnecessary retinue of scanning /tests. She encouraged me to approach my activities as per my normal routine and just enjoy this wonderful phase of life.
I admire her dedication towards her patients and natural child birth. An anecdote I must share. On a visit during my 37th week the baby declared that it would be arriving in few days . She immediately cancelled her trip she had planned with her children since I would go into labour that weekend most possibly. Where do you find such passionate doctors these days. I delivered a healthy baby boy the same weekend as she had predicted . It was normal and I was bouncing back I'm no time. My family and I are truly bound to her in gratitude . Recommend would be a very juvenile term for a doctor of her caliber and dedication. Excellent doctor and a wonderful person.

After I got pregnant, I was looking for a gynaecologist who would encourage normal delivery. I got to know about Dr. Anitha through a family friend who had just had a natural delivery and was raving about the doctor. Dr. Anita was always friendly and had the time and patience to answer all our questions during our routine check-ups. Dr. encouraged healthy eating and exercise to avoid any complications and I strictly followed her advice.
Though my baby was slightly on the healthier side, with Dr. Anita’s and Cloudnine sisters’ encouragement and support, I could have a normal delivery. I am forever grateful to Cloudnine’s labor room staff and to Dr. Anita for their wonderful support during the most painful yet exciting 5 hours of my life. Thanks again :-)

My first child was delivered by Dr. Anitha Balakrishna. It was a 16 hrs long labour and the child had the umbilical cord around her neck. The doctor was very patient and gave me confidence. I had a normal delivery. She is a very welcoming, sweet, approachable doctor who looks very cool but still does her work very effectively. Always smiling face. She does not pressurise the patience by giving any negative comments or threats. Her positive attitude is the comforting factor. I have recommended her to many of my friends and will continue to do so. If you want to deliver normally without any tension, she is the person to be approached. She is a high risk specialist in child delivery and she is the best according to me.

*** ***** *********** ** * *** **** ***** *** helped me to enjoy motherhood by doing her best to deliver my son inspite of PCOD and GDM during pregnancy. *** ** *** **** ****** * **** **** *** ** ** ***** She restored my faith in doctors whom we can trust blindly as her primary focus is on the well being of her patients and diagnosing the problems and treating it on time . I had PCOD and difficulty in conceiving and meeting Dr. Anita opened a new door to my life.Her treatment plan and confidence gave me hope to have a new life. After 4 months of PCOD treatment I conceived in 5th month and during pregnancy developed GDM. She handled my pregnancy so well that I delivered a healthy baby in 35th week in spite of GDM related complications.
Also she is one of the doctors who would encourage to have normal delivery and for that she would recommend to do exercise and walk during pregnancy along with healthy diet.
