Ahmedabad:
Ten-Ten-Ten. While the date was crucial for six cities of Gujarat that went into civic polls on Sunday, it was a happy date for those moms who delivered their much-cherished babies on this day.
Delivering a baby on the magic date and time had been a craze for some women and they finally realised that precious moment on Sunday.
In the milk town Anand, where leading IVF expert Dr Nayna Patel runs her hospital, Hetal became a proud mother of her first baby exactly at 10:10 am. She had battled infertility for 10 years after her marriage.
"Ten is certainly a dearer date to me now as my first child was born on this special day. Luckily, my mother-in-law also supported our decision to go for planned Cesarean delivery," said Hetal who delivered a baby boy at Akanksha Infertility Clinic of Dr Patel.
In Ahmedabad, Rajlakshmi Shekhawat delivered a baby on Sunday at 10:10:10 am (ten seconds after ten past ten) at Apollo Hospital. She had booked the date for C-section a month ago.
Apollo's chief gynaecologist Dr Usha Bohra said, "Sometimes it is good as parents want some interesting date and time for baby delivery. But sometimes, the couples get over-excited over such dates. I got cases where would-be mothers with November dates wanted their deliveries on October 10. In those cases, I had to refuse admission,'' said the doctor.
While some parents had planned the delivery at the specific time on the specific date, one Sangitaben Thakore of Ahmedabad was lucky enough to deliver her baby 10:10 am through normal delivery.
"An emergency case came to me around 9:30 am, where Sangita was having severe labour pain," said Dr Ramesh Kanpariya of Radhe Nursing Home, Nikol.
