Cloudnine Hospital

1.5 years ago, we visited a few reputed gynaecologists of Mumbai to choose our doctor. We were not yet pregnant. Our pregnancy was going to be "high risk pregnancy" due to a history of late miscarriage at 24 weeks during our previous pregnancy. Having done enough research, our conversations were centred around two topics:

- identifying the cause of our previous pregnancy loss

- understanding the plan of action during this pregnancy (to avoid any mishap)

Not fully satisifed by several renowned gynaecologists, we ended up in the cabin of Dr. Nikhil Datar. And what a fortunate day it was, for we found a doctor who answered all our questions even before we asked them. We were simply listening the entire time. It was evident that he specializes in high-risk pregnancies.

When we left his cabin that day, we were smiling ear to ear, for we knew everything is gonna be fine this time because we had Dr. Datar with us. :-)

Before we started planning again, he got me tested to rule out the causes of earlier miscarriage. Finally, we were down to two - vaginal infection and weak cervix. Both played a crucial role in our pregnancy this time as well.

When we got pregnant, he asked me to be extremely vigilant and raise as many alarms as possible. In his own words, "Feel free to raise 100 alarms. We will address all of them with full rigour. Even if 1 of them is true (rest 99 false) and we are able to address that and avoid a mishap, we would be successful". During the course of pregnancy, I suffered repeatedly from vaginal infections which were effectively managed by Dr. Datar through minimum medications. At 4 months, there was a sudden drop in the cervical length (from 4cm to 3.2cm within a week). Normal course of action in this case is cervical cerclage. But Dr. Datar managed it by putting me on bedrest for 3 months and administering progesterone tablets and injections. At 6 months I was also diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

Given all the complications, we were skeptical of crossing the 36 weeks mark, let alone have a normal delivery.

But miracles do happen! In December 2022, we delivered a healthy baby boy at 38+ weeks through normal vaginal delivery.

Undoubtedly, Dr. Nikhil Datar is the best gynaecologist in whole of Mumbai.

He is so experienced yet grounded, has a plethora of knowledge and very clear and systematic approach. On top of that, he is so jolly that he makes you smile even during the toughest situations. I had a laugh or two even during the last stage of contractions.

No words are sufficient to describe our gratitude for Dr. Nikhil Datar.

P.S.: He is always just a whatsapp text or phone call away!

My second pregnancy was unexpected. Things weren't pretty good at my health side as I was recovering from covid 19 and stomach ulcer hence things were quite uncertain. What made it even more complicated was moving in to a completely new city for me ie Mumbai. Unsure about good medical facility in my nearby area I went to hospital Malad as it was a Maternity specialized hospital.There I met Dr Pooja Shukla and raised all my concern and health issues. She was a very patient with all my queries and she guided me regarding all my health concern.The first time I heard the heart beat of my baby me and my husband both were elated ♥️.But this was not it, continuously juggling from office work to handling pregnancy was getting difficult. In my second trimester I got gestational diabeties, hypertension and severe abdominal pain. Dr Pooja Shukla was always there to constantly guide, gave me best possible medications and was keeping track with multiple sonography just to ensure that both me and the baby is fine. I cannot forget her constant reminder to me that "Shipra for me both the health of baby and you is important". Be it on overnight calls or early morning checkup Dr Pooja Shukla was always there for me. As I reached my third trimester due to hypertension, uncontrollable gestational diabeties I experienced breathlessness even I couldn't feel my baby movements. My heart sank and we panicked. My family immediately contacted Dr Pooja Shukla who was not in the town recommended me to admitted in a near multi-speciality hospital. Within no time she spoke to the doctor's there and arranged everything for me even before I could reach there. I can never forget the day called me at 12 in the night and ask me about health and reiterated that for me it doesn't matter if she does the delivery or the doctor in the other hospital her priority is our safety so that we are out of danger of risking our life. My situation was brought under control and the she was constantly in touch with the doctor's there .Finally after consulting with an endocrinologist her team Dr Pooja Shukla and we decided to go for an elective C section which was still risky as it was only 33 weeks and the baby was still very premature. On 24 February my son Ved was born. 😊♥️It wasn't a easy journey but the constant support and guidance given by Dr Pooja Shukla along with the support of my family both me and my baby was healthy and happy. 😊The post operation care given my hospital was exceptionally good. The hospital rooms were very neat and clean also spacious.Staff was courteous and polite. All facilities including food and medical was good. Both me and my husband would like to thank Dr Pooja Shukla as she provided me the best in class most advanced treatment, she diagnosed my issues properly, was a constant support, her correct guidance brought us out of the risk of losing my baby and her timely tracking of growth of the child and the same time comforting me all the emotional trauma i went through. ♥️ Angels always do not come only in fairy tails but some also come with the white coat saving lives. Thank you Dr Pooja Shukla. 🧑‍⚕️

Dr. Datar is nothing short of a super fantastic guide and doctor. We are immensely grateful to him for being the guiding light during a pivotal phase of our lives, culminating in the greatest gift we've ever received – our sweet baby boy.

Our journey with Dr. Datar began during the third month of my wife's pregnancy, shrouded in anxiety about what lay ahead. Our path was far from smooth, riddled with numerous challenges. Upon completion of 6 month of pregnancy, in the scan fetal growth restriction due to absent end diastolic flow in umbilical artery came to light. Dr Datar managed the situation with great expertise and after some time when the diastolic flow in umbilical artery was reversed, he put my wife under continuous observation and personally monitored the condition of my wife and baby to be born. As soon as he sensed the activity of the baby was not satisfactory, without waiting further he delivered the baby preterm at 30.2 weeks. Now after being in continuous observation in NICU for 44 days the baby got discharged and is with us like a normal child.

Dr. Datar's well-deserved reputation for handling complicated cases was evident throughout our journey. His remarkable ability to instil hope and provide unwavering reassurance at every step kept us moving forward with unwavering faith. What truly sets him apart is his exceptional knack for explaining complex situations with clarity, ensuring we were well-informed. We always felt valued. Dr. Datar's jovial and positive attitude, even amid a demanding schedule, is truly admirable. He never let the gravity of the situation overshadow our hope and positivity.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care provided by Dr Pooja Shukla throughout our pregnancy. Dr Pooja made us feel comfortable, listened to all our concerns, and answered every question with patience and clarity.

Right from our first visit, she listened to all our concerns related to high-risk pregnancy. She managed multiple bleeding episodes, a short cervix, and many other critical problems throughout the pregnancy. She understood our needs due to our complicated medical history and provided the best care.

What truly sets Dr Pooja apart is her interactions with patients after every visit, we came out smiling forgetting all our worries. She gave us the confidence that we can sail through this without fail. She was always available 24*7 whenever we needed help. Throughout the pregnancy, she helped and explained everything she foresaw any problems and prepared us for that.

During the delivery, Dr Pooja was a pillar of strength and support. In the end moment when the baby was not doing great, she decided to do an emergency LSCS(C-section) and delivered our healthy daughter.

At each step, we trusted Dr pooja and never doubted in our mind about the treatment and care she was providing.

I always heard that doctors are like gods who save and give lives, and now I trust yes there are some doctors like that Dr Pooja is one of them.

I want to thank Dr Pooja from the bottom of my heart for helping us become parents after 10 years long struggle.

Thanks

Saurabh and Ritu
