Jehangir Hospital

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 :)

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.

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!!!

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

We welcomed our little bundle of joy our son on 20th Dec 2021 through normal delivery,words are not enough to express how grateful we are to Dr Nina and her team.Initially only I had decided that whenever I will get pregnant Nina Mansukhani will be my gynaecologist as I have seen how she handled my sister-in-law’s pregnancy despite of all complications.

My pregnancy journey was fairly smooth no morning sickness,no excessive weight gain,I continued going to work till 9th month,followed all the instructions which Nina ma’am gave me and successfully completed 36 weeks and all of a sudden my water broke when I was about to complete my 37th week,we called ma’am and she immediately picked up our call,I got admitted in the hospital at 11.30 in the night,my labor progressed gradually,I also took epidural in the morning,despite of everything I was not able to cooperate while pushing,even my husband was inside labor room,but Nina ma’am and her team guided and helped me to deliver my baby through normal delivery.I agree that child birth is the rebirth of a woman.From my experience I can tell that Nina ma’am is the most approachable doctor I have ever seen,so active and she sure loves her job..her team is also skilled,I was scared and in excruciating pain but her team takes care of you like a family.Thank you Nina ma’am for your guidance and support.Our hearts are filled with joy and gratitude.I am going to miss my visits to you.You are under best care if Nina ma’am is your dr, child birth is overwhelming and most difficult thing to do…but it is worth it…❤️

No words can describe mam’s dedication and vibe that makes every person happy, not just only the patient..I was obese with higher BMI and hypothyroidism however I followed Mam’s treatment and guidance without fail that helped me deliver a healthy baby boy normally after 30 hours of hospitalisation❤️ Bcz she’s the only best in the town, I used to travel every month from my hometown shirdi to Pune for a monthly checkup and offcourse whenever she used to get time, she made sure she was available for me...I could not agree more, she is a mother figure who’s very friendly, jolly, strict when child becomes naughty and super caring..her smile was a medicine for me..Doctors mostly in cities usually go for C section but this Iron Lady has a record of maximum normal deliveries and I am luckiest to be one of them❤️ I would definitely recommend her name to every single person, please follow her on Instagram...

Can you imagine, she’s super busy as I know, even after whole busier day with deliveries and check ups, she was all awake and in touch with docs in hospital and me throughout the night for the delivery status, she’s active on social media and we get to know soooo much info about so many things...

P.S. my mom just to follow her on Instagram, created the account and follows her as she’s miraculous ❣️

We need such doctors more, she’s a blessing..follow whatever she says and u r all set😘 thank you so much mam and yes I love you so much ❤️

In a nutshell again, I was 103.250 when pregnant with high thyroid and BMI due to short height, went upto 114 at the time of delivery however delivered 3.22kg healthy baby boy normally..

Thanks to only and only Nina Mam🙏🙏

The patient had frequent abdominal pain, so we consulted a Doctor at a Hospital in Bhosari for treatment. Even after medication the pain was not subsiding. So as per Drs Prescription, Sonography was performed and the issue was gall bladder stones. So Dr. Suggested laparoscopic surgery for gall bladder removal. After the surgery ther was bile leak which went on increasing daily to a drain of 500 ml. Even after draining the bilirubin count was not normal. Later on MRCP was performed and it was found that the main bilary duct was damaged .Another endoscopy was performed which was of no use The complication went on increasing as there was also a leak somewhere in the billary duct .After repeated examination it was found an injury to the bile duct.Another Drain pipe was inserted to drain the bile juice collection from the leak.The patient was shattered as he had to bear the pain along with the drain bags for more than 1 and half months. Later we consulted Dr. Vidhyachandra Gandhi for expert advice on further treatment. He suggested few more tests and advised to admit in a hospital in Pimpri. There we experienced a holistic treatment from the hands of Dr. Gandhi V. They extended their services as a Family member and explained very patiently and clearly regarding the illness and the processes of surgery. Later very soon we got excellent treatment from there and patient got cured within 2-3 weeks. We feel God's hand worked through Doctor Gandhi and his colleagues for a successful surgery.We don't know how to express our hearty thanks to Doctor and all the team for their very sincere and kindly approach to this case. We pray that May Almighty God reward them immensely from his treasure of real love , wisdom and mercy.

Thank you

Hello, i am Rutuja More. I had visited Dr Shalaka Shimpi mam for my pregnancy. It was not a sudden decision for me to go to her but was very much decided from long that whenever I will be pregnant she will be the one I will go for. This is because i had been reading her success stories and also listened good reviews from friends and Facebook… Besides somehow i had a huge trust on her. I was so sure of her doing normal deliveries.

I being in my age of mid 30 and also weighing healthy was already at a challenging pregnancy. It was my first one.

Despite of this she ensured in her entire treatment that i will not get to risk of sugar and blood pressure.

I got a normal delivery as I wished to and this could not have been possible for any other than her. Anyone who hears this is surprised. As heavy weighed is always thought of having a c section. She just said lets try for normal and it gave me confidence. In my contractions i lost my patience to tolerate but she kept it high by ignoring my request of pain reliefs and c section. It was a long hour process for me before the sweet outcome.

She is a very friendly person, i developed a huge trust in her which also helped me in my last process.

I am very thankful to Mam for these lovely journey of mine with all her guidance on health, diet, exercises, time to time treatments and check ups.

Hello Ma'am, thanks for the sweet little baby in our lives. We went to Dr. Nina on a friend's recommendation and I feel that was the best decision we made.

My journey from the start was very smooth with conceiving in the very first attempt with doctors medication, and all the scans and reports went perfectly fine till the end. But in the end ma'am started saying that the baby is big and the baby is not moving down despite all the excercise and the yoga which ma'am told me to do. But we waited for 40+2 weeks for normal labour to start then ma'am told to get admitted so that we could try to induce, but even after trying twice I did not dilate and the baby did not move down. Finally we decided to go in for a c- section as it was already 40+3 weeks and we could not wait anymore... But had it been for some other doctor I am sure they would have rushed for C - Section much before but Dr. Nina waited for as long as she could to make a normal delivery possible. But at times things are not in our control. And we got our healthy sweet baby in just no time after deciding to go in for a c-section as we were already very eager to see our baby.. Thanku ma'am for all the support and guidance through out the pregnancy.

Special thanks to your super supportive team Dr. Saloni and Dr. Aayushi and the nurses in the labour room. Everyone has been very supportive during and post delivery phase. One could not have received a more personal touch to the delivery experience.

Few weeks back we were blessed with a beautiful baby 👶🏻 girl and for this we express our deepest gratitude and thanks to Nina ma’am for giving us the most beautiful gift which we have been waiting for so long.

Ever since I moved back to India and being very new to Pune was very skeptical about finding a good OB-Gyn specialist. But, the day We met ma’am we were convinced that our search is over. Ma’am made us so comfortable and relaxed in the very first meeting that gave us complete assurance that we are in right hands. The entire journey of conceiving, pregnancy and delivery was a roller coaster ride. We went through stressful times,but, having ma’am around was the only sole assurance which kept us motivating that everything is going to fall in place and everything will be fine. Can’t thank you enough ma’am for her continuous effortless guidance and care even in this difficult time of Corona pandemic. Nina ma’am’s caring nature and going beyond her way to keep her patient’s safe and healthy is something commendable. Ma’am made the journey of parenthood possible for us and once again me and my husband want to thanks ma’am, as we feel blessed to have her as our doctor and thank her for everything that she has done for us.
