Touch of Life Clinics, Camp

Me and my hubby Gaurav, would like to announce that on 07-Jul, we were blessed with a baby boy here at Columbia Asia hospital ☺️. It was via a C-section, and Ma'am led the whole procedure with ease, perfection and care, as always!

Our journey of pregnancy hasn't been an easy one, and had it not been Nina Ma'am guiding us at every step, we probably would've given up at some point of time.

We're bursting with emotions at the moment, and so would like to share what it's like to be on a tough journey with a doctor like Nina Ma'am☺️🙏🏻

Until 2019, we've had a history of miscarriages back to back, and everytime during the 8-9th week of gestation, radiologists would conclude that there is no heartbeat, and we used to come back home heart-broken and devastated. It was during the third miscarriage, that one of our family friends advised us to consult Dr. Nina Ma'am. We went to meet her with our latest USG scans, in which the radiologist had confirmed a miscarriage.

We had lost all hopes, I broke into tears in front of Ma'am, she stood up and hugged and consoled me like a mother would. She explained what's going wrong and assured that the next pregnancy under her guidance will be a successful one. As we were so much depressed, we had a lot of doubts and questions, but Ma'am just asked us to follow her instructions and all will be fine. She inspired total confidence in us and it laid the foundation of the starting point for confronting the depression we were going through.

Ma'am gave us the date for D&E procedure, and on that day while entering the OT, I asked her if this will be my last such procedure. She said yes she will never let me go through this again. That was my "Touch of Life" moment.

After I recovered, we planned our next pregnancy and went straight to Ma'am once the pregnancy test was positive again. Ma'am had the perfect plan ready for us, and we just very very blindly followed that. She had been very caring throughout, and never let us feel fear for any complications that arose during the pregnancy. For every deviation, she would just say- "We will get it resolved Sweetie, you don't have to worry!"

You really did get it resolved for us Ma'am, we were blessed with a handsome little baby boy on 7th of Jul, 2020, and only if our prayers from me and my family were being answered, you were the force behind them. We can't ever be thankful enough for whatever you have done for us Ma'am, your "Touch" really has given me and my family a new "Life"!

Thanks a million again Ma'am🙏🏻☺️

***🙏Gratitude Post Alert 🙏***

The below does not do justice to what Dr. Nina and Dr Saket have done for us. In spite of we being miles away, their guidance and cross continent advice has finally given us our much awaited rainbow baby. 🌈

After 2 miscarriages in UK, I was recommended to seek guidance from Dr. Nina.

We reached out for an online consultation and instantly knew that she understood and empathised with our plight. After that we had series of conversations and agreed a fertility plan.

We flew to India, during the pandemic, so we could be under her guidance and that was the ***best decision we ever made***💯

She was hands on with our antenatal care and always went the extra mile and was cognizant of the fact that we need a treatment that could transcend in UK.

Dr Saket was equally fantastic and was always there to answer our questions.

After two miscarriages, you get anxious and every small thing worries you. Dr Nina calmed my nerves down and we wouldn't have been able to get our bundle of joy without her sheer determination and constant encouragement.

Once I got back to UK after 21 weeks, she always kept checking on me and also had a mini session on types of labour and what would be better for me.

We had to make some hard choices as had a breech baby and tried her recommendations and our baby moved. 🎉

I took her guidance as gold dust and continued with squats, lunges and walks. My waters broke naturally and our little baby arrived safe and sound in UK !!

We are incredibly grateful for her guidance and our hearts are filled with gratitude as neither time zones nor geographical boundaries are a barrier for her !

We love you Dr. Nina and thank you for everything you've done for us.🙏🎉😍

Words will never be enough to express what Nina Mam means to us!

Hope is everything is what we have learnt from Mam

I delivered a baby boy under mam treatment. When we first met mam in 2017, I was undergoing treatment under another gynae and was pregnant which didn't turn up positive for us and I had miscarriage.

It was bizarre for us, first pregnancy after 4 yr of marriage and having no family around. I am glad and forever be grateful to my fate that I met Mam!

I had to undergo D&C  and still remember, mam said Sweetie don’t worry you will have your baby one day. After few months I again got pregnant but it didn't work out as well and we really had stopped thinking about family way. It was only our meetings with mam which gave us positivity and hope that there will be a day for us too! Due to personal family issues, our planning got way too delayed and we got busy in other things. It was 2019 when we again met mam after a gap of a yr and she recommended Laparoscopy and then the  journey started once again. Finally after rounds of doc visits, fertility treatment etc. I got that 2 lines! I knew it was not going to be easy looking at my previous history but was positive and stress-free only because of Mam. I never questioned and kept following what Mam suggested. My husband is one worrier person and I will always be thankful to Mam who kept her patience and address all his worries throughout pregnancy! 😀

Trust me it is not possible to find doc like Mam anywhere who bond with her patients like family. Each and every girl is priority for her and it is not easy to always  keep personal commitments aside to consistently take care of all her girls.

Mam has also manage a superb support group for all her pregnant girls and new Mommies in form of watsapp grp which help everyone connected, informed and share the experiences of beautiful yet challenging journey of motherhood.

Thank you is a very small word for everything you have done for us,  you were and will always be a mother, sister, friend like figure for me.

Hello Expecting parents,

Sharing my pregnancy journey with you'll, especially as it was a rare scenario, and it might be helpful to someone. This is my second normal delivery with Dr. Nina. Although the journey was full of ups n downs since the 3rd month itself (to name a few; we had to go through a procedure named CVS in the initial stages to rule out suspected chromosomal abnormalities) however this tough journey to motherhood was made smooth under the observation of Dr. Nina Mansukhani. By the eighth month, in the routine scans that were performed to determine the baby's position, the baby was in extended breech position since week 30 onwards. Dr. Nina explained to us the options available for the delivery and the associated risks and benefits. We always wanted a normal delivery and hence opted for the ECV procedure to be performed to bring the baby in head- down(cephalic) presentation. Important to note is that if this procedure is not successful then an SoS C-section has to be performed. My ECV was performed at 38.5 weeks, the procedure itself lasted around 10 to 15 mins guided with ultrasound and Dr. Nina along with her excellent support team was able to bring the baby successfully in the desired cephalic position. The foetal health was monitored post which I was induced for labour and in roughly 7 hours I was able to deliver normally. This was nothing short of a miracle for me as the success rates of ECV is pegged around 50%(as per internet searches) compounded with the success rate of induced labour post ECV. I would like to thank Dr. Nina, Dr. Saket and her entire team who executed this successfully and we avoided a C- section, delivered normally and welcomed home a healthy child. My hand on my heart, I can say that this would have been impossible without Dr. Nina. We owe her loads and we are lucky to have her in our journey to parenthood blessed with 2 beautiful children.
