Pregnancy in your 40s!

Age is always one such issue which tops the list if you want to become pregnant because you can’t do anything about age. Though the cosmetic procedures are very much in and may holds your age over your face but there’s no medicine, no cure for old age and the disabilities that come with it. The only thing you can do is plan your future well and make the best of today. The ideal age for pregnancy is the mid-to-late 20s. 

If you want to wait, then you can push that limit up to 35 only and not beyond. After 35, the chances of a successful pregnancy start declining. 

IVF or In vitreo fertilization treatment, for so long considered the only hope for women who are unable to fall pregnant on their own but I believe that IVF isn't the only answer for women wanting to get pregnant. 

Still not Pregnant?

You are planning to conceive for long and not getting results. This problem is very common

now. I see at least 40 to 50 patients in a day coming to me for their infertility issues. This is because conception is process that calls for more trials before you finally succeed. You should know that there are some medical facts which keep coming on your way of getting pregnant. 

According to ICMR Bulletin it is estimated that globally around 60 to 80 million couples suffer from infertility annually, of which probably between 15 to 20 million are in India alone. 

When everything else fails and you think that the in vitro fertilization or IVF may be the only option for you to opt, but before considering anything know some facts that can hinder your chances of conception: 

Soothing words from our patients

“A doctor is someone who listens to your problems, makes it their own and looks after you

till you get well.”  Here’s sharing a beautiful message by my patient..

Dear Dr. Shobha,

The attention given to us, regarding timely answers, the methodology (the fact you use more than one surrogate increases chances of pregnancy) and the cost was reasonable. We always felt more than just a “client”, the treatment was always very professional and sensitive, making us feel comfortable, understood and supported. We would be happy to make reference to your services to other couples in similar situation.

We also want to express our thanks and appreciation for the wonderful treatment and care you all showed to us following Bernardo’s birth. You demonstrated your total commitment into caring for Bernardo, and also gave us the support and encouragement we needed to take my first steps as new born parents! Thank you for all support in Delhi and for being always there during those incredible days of our lives - not only medical but also administrative and bureaucratic.

मां बनने का सपना न रह जाए अधूरा!

आजकल कम उम्र में ही कुछ ऐसी बीमारियां शरीर को घेर लेती हैं जिनसे उबर पाना इतना आसान नहीं होता है।

हर लडकी का सपना होता है मां बनना। मां बनने की उम्र पर आकर किसी लडकी को यह पता चले कि वह कभी मां नहीं बन सकती तो उसके लिए दुनियां मानों रूक सी जाती है। मां न बन पाने के लिए कई कारक जिम्मेदार होते हैं। जिनमें से एक है ओवरीज का फेल हो जाना। अगर आपकी ओवरीज फेल हो जाए तो जल्द से जल्द किसी स्त्री रोग विशेषज्ञ से संपर्क करें और साथ हार्मोन रिप्लेसमेंट थेरपी के लिए जाएं।

पीओएफ यानी प्रीमेच्योर ओवरीज फेल

पीओएफ का मतलब है 40 की उम्र से पहले ओवरीज का सामान्य काम न करना. मतलब कि ओवरीज का सामान्य रूप से एस्ट्रोजन हार्मोन का निर्माण न होना या नियमित रूप से अंडे का रिलीज न होना. इससे बांझपन या बच्चा न होना आम समस्या होती है. मदर्स लैप आईवीएफ सेंटर की आईवीएफ विशेषज्ञ डाॅक्टर शोभा गुप्ता का कहना है कि कई बार उम्र से पहले ओवरीज के फेल होने को मीनोपॉज से जोड़ दिया जाता है लेकिन ये स्थितियां भिन्न हैं. किसी महिला की ओवरीज फेल होती है तो उसे अनियमित माहवारी हो सकती है और वह गर्भधारण भी कर सकती है. उम्र से पहले मीनोपॉज का अर्थ है कि माहवारी का स्थायी तौर पर रुक जाना और इसके बाद गर्भवती होना

नवजात शिशु की देखभाल के लिए मां को समुचित जानकारी मेडिकल व पेरामेडिकल स्टाफ द्वारा दी जानी

चाहिए। जहां तक संभव हो सके प्रसव हमेशा अच्छे अस्पताल में ही होना चाहिए ताकि चिकित्सक और नर्स की सेवाएं मिल सकें। इससे जटिलताओं की आशंका कम हो जाती है। किसी भी प्रकार की जटिलता पेश आने पर हॉस्पिटल में तुरंत उससे निपटने की व्यवस्था की जा सकती है।

मां के दूध का नहीं है कोई विकल्प

कुछ लोग आपको यह सलाह दे सकते हैं कि मां के दूध की जगह आप बाजार के डिब्बे बंद दूध को प्राथमिकता दें कारण कोई भी हो सकता है जैसे कि मां अपने फिगर को ध्यान में रख रही हो या फिर आॅफिस जाने व काम की व्यस्तता हो। लेकिन यह बिल्कुल गलत है।

डाॅक्टर शोभा गुप्ता बताती हैं कि शुरुआती 6 महीनों तक माता का दूध पीने वाले बच्चे अच्छी तरह विकसित होते हैं। संक्रमण से उनका बचाव होता है। साथ ही उनमें अपने माता-पिता के प्रति भावनात्मक लगाव लंबे समय तक बना रहता है। 6 महीने की उम्र के बाद बच्चे को माता के दूध के अलावा ऊपरी आहार भी देना चाहिए। जन्म के आधे घंटे के अंदर बच्चे को
