Visited Dr. Nina Mansukhani (Obstetrician) For Normal Delivery
Happy with: Treatment satisfactionValue for money
Sometimes Goddess herself appears on this planet to bring babies to humans.
Words are less to describe Dr. Nina. She is a super strong individual and a warrior at the same time. I remember the starting days of COVID back in feb of this year, Dr. Nina had messaged to all in the "Mommys to be group", "you people do not worry about your delivery I will make sure none of you will remain stranded". This assurance was such strong moral support for us. I have seen Dr Nina through this phase. I doubt if she has ever slept a day without visiting one of her hospitals.
Now our story :
We started to visit Dr. Nina in Feb(14th Week) for our second baby (Our first baby was also delivered by Dr. Nina back in 2017 at Jehangir and it was a normal delivery, hence Dr Nina was our obviious choice).
By the history of previous delivery in 2017, I had thought it would all go normal but in the 24th-week scan, doc found that her OS tightening was required. We got the same done.
In the 29th week scan of June 20, the doc again found that baby was moving downwards instead of moving upwards. Doc immediately admitted her without any COVID tests (Thanks to the doc and the hospital of course). The situation looked supercritical and we were super tense as it appeared as though delivery would happen in the 29th Week. Doc recommended steroids for the baby's lungs to develop asap. My wife was discharged after 2 days with complete bed rest instructed by Dr. Nina.
Days went by and I prayed to god at least my wife should complete 32 weeks. By the end of 32 weeks, Dr Nina hoped we should complete 34 weeks. By 34th week , Dr said lets hope for next two weeks. By the end of 36th week, I started to feel better and confident that my wife was out of danger. Indeed, we reached 37 weeks , then 38 weeks and now the doc said "Neha we were really worried as your situation looked like a premature delivery in the 29th week, Now I am really glad you are on time, also I do not see any signs of labor until next 2 weeks and now you should more squats, climbing the stairs and walking for 2 hours every day" :)
By the end of 39 weeks , doc asked us to get the COVID test done so she could plan the delivery by the due date (17th Sept)
On the morning of 17th Sept(the due date stated by the doc during our first visit in the Feb of 2020), my son in sleep gently hit her mom's tummy, she had some water discharge. After an hour she informed me about it. Immediately I called up Dr Nina and started for the hospital. Her Covid test was to be done the same day, however, we did not have time to do that.
The docs showed no signs of hesitation in attending to my wife(she had no covid test report).
After an hour from her admission at 10AM, Dr Nina informed me that Neha was showing very good signs of labor and they would try for a normal delivery by 4PM or so. At 1.13 PM while having lunch, the security lady knocked at my door and informed that I have been called and that delivery was already done. I was super surpised as how it could be possible so quickly. In the labor room the assisting doc arrived with a lovely baby girl who was born at 12:57Pm , 3.3 KGs and best part of all a normal delivery. Dr Nina was super happy that Neha had her delivery in just 2.5 hours and a normal one.
Dr Nina hence was able to do normal delivery for both my kids.
All the events since the start of it started to flash. My wife has been through so much through this period and it would not have been possible without Dr Nina's commitment motivation support and guidance. She is indeed a gem of a person and words are too less to describe her.

Here is how Dr. Nina saved our lives.
Background - Before consulting Dr. Nina, we already had consulted 2 well known Gynaecologists (Motherhood and Individual Clinic), 3 gastroenterologist, 1 physician and 1 dermatologist. It took them weeks to diagnose the problem we were facing (cholestasis of pregnancy). We started observing symptoms of the problem in early 21st week of pregnancy but the treatment started late 24th Week.
Challenge - In ‘cholestasis of pregnancy’ the bile acid level in blood increase and it is dangerous for the foetus. Normal range for bile acid level in blood varies between 0-10 whereas acceptable danger level is till 30-40. Unfortunately in our case there was a point where the bile acid level in blood reached 156. This was the tipping point where our initial doctor gave up and refused to continue treatment. She asked us to move on to some other doctor as this case was too complicated. Her argument was that C-section is not possible as we are on blood thinner and we can’t go off the blood thinner as the increased bile acid level in blood would be dangerous for the foetus.
Solution - At the time when our existing doctor didn’t want to continue our case, we reached out to the most senior Gynaecologists of Pune. On one hand the other Gynaecologists asked us to do more tests, Dr. Nina accepted the diagnosis and started with the treatment. She asked us to get admitted in hospital for monitoring. She initiated the course to lower the bile level while also preparing for surgery in case needed. She continuously monitored both the patient and foetus through regular NSTs, LFTs, sonography and other tests etc.. Eventually the bile acid levels came down to 11. With the lower bile acid level we got discharged from Hospital but Dr. Nina continued monitoring our case. For the next 1.5 month, we were regularly in touch with doctor. We had regular tests to monitor the situation. Later at the start of the 37th Week (9th Month), based on Dr. Nina’s advice we went for pain induction and had a natural delivery.
Conclusion - From a point of time where doctor gave us 50-50 survival chances of foetus to finally going for normal delivery we have been through a lot in this pregnancy journey. Needless to say that this safe and happy ending was impossible without Dr. Nina. She and her team went beyond their duties to save our lives. She was always available via Call / WhatsApp to answer any query.
Gratitude - No words would ever be enough to express our heartfelt gratitude towards Dr. Nina for bringing our little boy to this world through normal delivery. Lots of love and gratitude to her and all the staff at the clinic and Jehangir. ****** *** **** ****** * **** **** ******* Have confidence on her and she will bring positive news for sure. Thank you mam for everything :)

With this post we express our most sincere gratitude as we both welcomed our baby girl on Friday early morning under Dr Nina. This was our second delivery under her and words shall never be enough to say a Thank You. We would like to specifically mention one incident of this time. Just six days before the delivery it was our regular follow up visit and were asked to see her after NST. We went for NST and results were somehow not good. Baby was moving too much and showing pseudo distress pattern. When the team in labor room sent the same to Nina mam, she was not satisfied so they did it again. Again results were not too good. Mam examined internally and was satisfied to some extant but still to rule out any doubt she advised to get it done third time with the words 'sorry you ll have to spare some more time and for my satisfaction get it done one last time then you may go home'. We got it done after a good lunch at the canteen, results were good. When I went to show it to her she hugged me tight and said now it's ok. The happiness that flickered through her eyes was unmatched and I was amazed to see her devotion towards her duty. During both of our journeys we have seen her very closely. she is a tough task master for her team but at the same moment the most loving mother for all the moms to be. She knows the difficulties that may come for each one of us but still keeps us stress free with her words and gestures. We are calling our daughter 'Ina', borrowing a part of her name, in the hope that whatever field she chooses for her in future, she ll carry a part of the devotion and dedication of The Doctor Who brought her to the world that is you Nina mam. Take a bow doc you are amazing. Kirti, Aaira, Ina and Gaurav
Visited Dr. Snita Sinukumar (Surgical Oncologist)
In July’19, my mother was diagnosed with cancer of the Ovaries. Considering the size of the tumor and age of my mother (then 68 years), the medical oncologist suggested a treatment plan with 3 pre-surgery chemotherapy followed by the cyto-reductive surgery and then 3 post-surgery chemotherapy. After, reading about the surgery options, we came to know about an advanced form of surgery known as HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy). In India, there are only a few doctors who specialize in HIPEC surgery *** *** ***** *** ** *** ** *** ***** *** *** ****.
The day we met her for our first consultation, she was very confident and knew that this surgery would be the right treatment for my mother. When you get experience, along with the capability of using the science/technology for the upliftment of the humans, nothing wrong can happen. The surgery was flawless and successful.
Coming to the softer aspects, but equally important, is her nature. She is a gem of a human being. She said in our first conversation and I quote “your mother is my responsibility now”. And that gives so much comfort, trust, motivation, and drive to achieve the result. She is very caring and takes that extra step to provide comfort to the patient. In every post-surgery visit, she used to motivate my mother and all of us. Even now, she will frequently check about the good well-being of my mother.
I would end by saying that, god forbid, if you, your family or friends are diagnosed with Ovarian cancer then please do consult with Dr. Sinta once about the possibility of using the advanced HIPEC surgery.
Thank you so much Mam for everything you did!!!
