Dr. Priyanka Mehta

I delivered my baby this Feb 2020 and the journey was quite challenging as mine was a high risk pregnancy. I must thank Dr.Priyanka, the one who was with me through out the journey. I had a stage 4 endometriosis cysts that she operated (Laproscopic) two years back (2018). She immediately suggested to try IVF method for conception as normal conception might not be possible in my case. I was taken back a little and didn’t know what to do. We tried for normal conception for couple of months and a second endometriosis cyst started to grow in the mean while. Later, I again went to Priyanka mam, asking her for help. She then made me understand the significance of taking IVF route. Per her instructions, I went through a complete IVF route which involved few weeks of preparation for egg retrieval, egg retrieval and finally embryo transfer. During this process, the second cyst grew even bigger and got infected as well. This became an obstacle for performing the embryo transfer. Priyanka mam wanted to get rid of the cyst before the embryo transfer, as i already had minimal chances of getting conceived and she didn’t want this cyst to create any trouble. She did another surgery (Laproscopic) for removing the cyst but she was forced to remove my one ovary as the cyst has infected one full ovary (Though she tried her best retain my ovary, but due to the severity of three infection, the ovary itself was removed). Mean while, with the IVF egg retrieval results, I had formed only 2 embryos (out of 11) that were healthy enough for a transfer.

My birth story goes like this :

At 37 yrs of age me and my husband decided to have a baby... Having undergone a complete detox process at Wishing Well Healthcare, within a month I was able to conceive naturally. My pregnancy was a breeze without any morning sickness, water retention, gestational diabetes or bp challenges... However my biggest challenge was facing labour... Especially because I have always had extremely low levels of tolerance towards pain. Dr Priyanka was extremely patient and encouraged me to give natural vaginal delivery a shot... Weighing the post-op challenges of C section as opposed to a vaginal delivery... I also was determined to have a natural vaginal delivery.

Im here to share my beautiful journey on pregnancy.My husband n I are married for 4 years. I had undergone 3 misscarriages due to different reasons. I was consulting a doctor in adayar then. While speaking to one of my friends who is a doctor studying in SRMC, I came to know about Priyanka mam. I then approached her during 2018 Feb. We planned for pregnancy by the month of April following a follicular study. She spoke so soothingly n positively that nothing would go wrong the next time. I gained a lot of confidence because of her. To overcome the fear on miscarrying, was easy coz of her. I luckily concieved the same month. I remember the initial days being extremely hard on me due to bleeding. Took a break from my job and was in appropriate rest till 5 months. Then started walking n yoga with a help of an instructor. Once I reached 38 weeks we planned to get induced due to my history. On Jan 9th night around 10 o clock mam induced pain for me. Around 5 in the morning dilation was only 3 cms. Started walking in the room holding my husbands hands. Adding on some tablets mam checked for the dilation around 11 am, even then dilation was just 3 cms. She then ruptured my amniotic sac for the fluid to flow out. Then my pain increased severely along with injections in drips.Priyanka mam asked me to be confident n happy about gonna see the baby soon. I started screaming in pain for epidural. Took my epdidural around 5cms of dilation by 12:30 PM. Then after managing the little pain was easy. Around 2:30 my cervix was completely dilated and assistant doctor had called for Priyanka mam. Mam arrived so quickly n I started trying to push the baby. Exactly at 2:48, my little one came out with a slender cry after 16 hours of labour. My husband smiled at me with tears in his eyes n said it's a boy. Mam had then done with my stitches. Had a happy feeling that I could deliver naturally. I would have been even better without an epidural, but that's ok... My pregnancy was fun and beautiful .And becoming a mother has been the most rewarding experience of my life .I loved every moment of it and this would not have been possible without such a supporting husband and doctor. Priyanka mam naturally has a lot of positive vibes with her and its thrown on all her patients.Wishing everyone happy labour n parenting. Thanks Almighty.
