It all started when I was 3 months pregnant in the US and decided to come to Chennai for Delivery. Many of my friends in the US told that I took a wrong decision travelling to India for delivery since the medical facilities are advanced and percentage of normal delivery in higher in the US than in India. But I believed in Dr.Padmapriya since I had a very good feedback from my friends who had consulted her for delivery.

When I came and met her at Glenegals Global hospital, she welcomed with a smile and told me we should aim for normal delivery.She told me the Do's and Don'ts and I started to follow her instructions.Many say that she is very strict in maintaining our pregnancy weight, but trust me I think that is her secret of success.

Here comes my Labor War story.

Yes I have mentioned Labor war because my labor was a battle field between normal and C-section.My EDD was Sept 16th 2017 and I did not get pain till 13th Sept.As per her advice I was admitted for induced labor on 13th Sept 10.30 Am. I was induced with a Gel at 1 PM and we waited for 6 hours and did not get pain. Here is my list of complications -

No Passive labor pain

Baby's Weight 3.2 Kg at 38 weeks

My Height Just 5 feet

Thick Cervix

Baby's Head did not descend down the Pelvic bone and was at brim till the last moment

I almost lost hope, but she did not. She gave me a dose of tablet for induced labor at 7 PM but still no pain. At 11.45 PM, I had small leak of fluid.Duty doctors informed her and she told not to worry and I still had 24hrs of waiting time.

Finally at 11 AM next day 14th Sept, I was induced with another dose and she told we will wait till 5 PM else I had to deliver through C-section since I was leaking fluid.

At that point I literally cried. I could feel her being upset and she asked me to be bold.Duty doctors were monitoring me carefully and my husband was beside me with full support.Since my delivery could anytime be C-section,I was given only liquid food from morning. So I started loosing strength physically and mentally. Thankfully I started getting action labor pain from 12 PM and it went intense around 4 PM. I literally begged for Epidural since I could not bear the pain. But I did not reach the stage at which Epidural should be given. Finally at 7 PM I was given Epidural and pain was bearable. I was shifted to labor room and duty doctors advised me to push to check if my baby can descend through the pelvic bone.

Padmapriya mam come around 7.30 and said still baby head is at brim. They encouraged me to push and with 1 hour of pushing and her patience I delivered our baby princess normally at 8.52 PM.

Baby was active with 3.3 Kg.I would like to thank Dr.Padmapriya for giving us normal delivery as a lifetime gift.

Hi this is Krishna Devi..I confirmed my pregnancy in  chettinaad hospital with Prema jeyaprasad since my home is near to that hospital.Since it was my first pregnancy I am too scared and had loads of questions in me.She didn't ask much to me, for name sake she told do's and don'ts.

 During my 9th week pregnancy I had a spotting problem I called Prema Jeyaprasad and asked what shall I do.Her response were very bad.

 Then we decided to reach Dr.Padmapriya Vivek in Apollo cradle karapakkam inspite of the distance from my home.She was very kind and easy moving person.She won't get irritate if we ask silly doubts.She will respond through phone and messages at any time.From the day one she  insisted me to do the process for normal delivery.She spoke for 45 minutes at first visit.Patiently she was telling do's and don'ts and also about diet.At each visit she will keenly monitoring our weight gain so that leads to normal delivery.She removed the scary thoughts from me about my delivery.After seeing Padmapriya mam I am very confident in facing the delivery.Her response was awesome while handling patients.During my 36th week my fluid level decreased she gave me a moral support at that time.

 On 2nd September morning around 8.30 I got a pain.Then my husband called to Padmapriya mam and informed about pain.Nurses were ready to treat me by mam instructions.They monitored the baby heart beat till end of the delivery.Intially mam investigated me and told 80 to 90% normal delivery is possible,let us wait till evening.Around one to two clock my baby heart beat decreased drastically and baby passed motion also.All nurses were discussing about the initial steps for saving the baby.Suddenly Padmapriya mam rushed from her place and investigated me.All were treated me by putting oxygen mask and heartbeat becomes normal.That was a terrific scenario never forget in my life.Then around  3.45pm my cervix dilated 9 to 10 cm mam,nurses and duty doctors were  prepared to deliver my baby.During labour time also baby heartbeat decreased,all asked me to push the baby I am not able to do it. Mam tried a lot around half an hour she didn't lose her hope.She gave me a moral support throughout my delivery.Then our Prince came to earth around 4.25pm on September 2.All credits goes to mam..thanks a lot mam.Our family won't forget you and your responsibility in me.I am very thankful to you mam.My son's life is given by mam,without her we are helpless at that time.Thanks for my husband who allows me to consult with Padmapriya mam in Apollo cradle karapakkam inspite of the distance.Thanks for my mom,dad and brother for the moral support.

 Guys don't hesitate to consult with Padmapriya mam.She is a very great,sincere and loyal doctor in Apollo cradle karapakkam.

Padmapriya mam worked for over 90 hrs for 17 babies during chennai floods last year.Till now I am consulting with mam for any concerns.She won’t change her attitude in treating the patients inspite of any situation.Infinite thanks to mam

I landed in Chennai & in my search for a gynic I found Dr PadmaPriya. Started consulting her for my irregular periods. Over time we found that there were some cysts which were addressed by laparoscopic cystectomy by Dr Padmapriya when she was part of Apollo Cradle. Things went fine but I was all scared if this would affect my pregnancy. Time passed and a year later I conceived but I had my doubts if I will have a normal delivery or no. When I got to know the news of my pregnancy, my first thought was to contact her and get it confirmed. We found that she moved to Global Hospitals by then. And when we reached her in her new role, she addressed our immediate doubt with all confidence that "Normal Delivery" is no mystery. It is possible. I was a bit relaxed. I fought with my parents and stayed back (without goint to my hometown) only on the confidence I had on this doctor. I strictly followed the weight and diet control that doctor has advised and boom.. here we go. On Mar 7th 2018, at 1 AM in the darkest times of the day, I started feeling pain like every day but for the fact that the pains dont subside. I gave all the thought and decided to goto hospital. I was actually asked to get admitted at 9 AM on 7th March 2018 as my expected delivery date was 8th March. By the time we reached the hospital, it was around 1:40 AM and I was having my pains on. The team at the delivery ward took care of me and the doc on call found that I was in my active labour already. She approximated that in about 2.5 hrs from then, the delivery will complete. I was put to rest and my vitals were under monitoring. The respective staff started working on the delivery and you know what.. 4 AM in the morning Padmapriya mam showed up at the hospital. One thing I would want to call out at this point is, for her time is all about being available to patients. Never seen a doc being available in the OPD for as long as she did. And now, its 4:31 AM, it was I delivered a baby boy and well.. it was a normal delivery. They have used a kiwi cup to pull the baby out but boy o boy.. believe me, I and my family were super excited to experience the magic of normal delivery which is said to be a rare thing in these days. The doctor kept her promises up and we were more than happy to have trusted her all along. Trust the doc and follow her words to the dot. Things will fall in place.
