Sakshi Chandraakar’s journey is a testament to the indomitable human spirit, the unwavering perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of one’s dreams against all odds. Born into a modest middle-class family, Sakshi’s aspirations soared beyond the limitations of her circumstances. Her story is not just about overcoming obstacles; it’s about embracing challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation.

Early Beginnings: The Seed of Determination

From the tender age of 15, Sakshi understood the value of financial independence and the power of self-reliance. Her journey commenced with humble beginnings, as she embarked on the path of earning by teaching. The first glimmer of hope emerged when she earned her first fee from tutoring a sixth-grade student. It was a moment of epiphany for her, igniting within her the unwavering determination to carve her own path, regardless of the obstacles that lay ahead.

She blamed her circumstances for her stagnation until her husband’s words, “We don’t blame others for our failures,” sparked a pivotal change. This insight propelled her towards self-discovery and empowerment, rekindling her aspirations with newfound resilience.

New Delhi (India), March 8: As we celebrate International Women’s Day, we embark on a profound exploration into the journey of motherhood, guided by the insightful advice of gynecologists. This occasion serves as a poignant reminder of the strength, resilience, and unique experiences of women worldwide. Through the lens of medical expertise and compassionate care, gynecologists offer invaluable insights into the various stages of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. Their wisdom not only empowers women but also fosters a deeper understanding of the physical, emotional, and psychological transformations that accompany the miracle of bringing new life into the world. 

Dr. (Prof) Sadhana Kala, Sr. Consultant Gynecologist, Apollo Cradle Royale Hospital, New Delhi. University Topper Gold Medalist, Youngest Professor ever in any Medical College anywhere.

Exercise during pregnancy offers numerous benefits and is generally considered safe. It can alleviate common discomforts like constipation and back pain, and may even reduce the risk of complications such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and the need for a caesarean birth. Regular physical activity can also aid in coping with labor and promote healthy weight gain. Research shows that exercise doesn’t increase the risk of miscarriage, preterm delivery, or low birth weight. Pregnant women are encouraged to engage in 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, such as brisk walking, swimming, stationary biking, or modified yoga. Dividing the exercise into 30-minute sessions, five days a week is recommended. Stomach-strengthening exercises and pelvic floor exercises are also beneficial, helping to alleviate backache and strengthen pelvic muscles. However, women with certain medical conditions or pregnancy-related complications should consult their gynecologist before starting or continuing an exercise regimen during pregnancy.

Dr. Gauri Agarwal, MD, DNB, MBBS, Founder & Director – Seeds of Innocence, New Delhi

As we commemorate International Women’s Day on the 8th of March, it’s important to recognize the pivotal role gynecologists play as advocates for women’s health and well-being. As an IVF specialist, I stand alongside my colleagues in urging women worldwide to prioritize their health through proactive measures and regular screenings. In the journey to motherhood and beyond, early detection and prevention serve as cornerstones for maintaining optimal health. Through routine body screenings and open, honest dialogues with healthcare providers, women can empower themselves to navigate their health journeys with confidence and clarity. This International Women’s Day, let us rally together to empower women to seize control of their health destinies. Let’s foster a supportive environment where seeking advice and support becomes second nature, enabling women to lead healthy, fulfilling lives.

Dr. Richa Singh, Medical Director, Urvara Fertility Centre (Lucknow), (MBBS, DNB OBS & GYNE), DRM (Germany), FRM (Gujarat), Hysteroscopy Specialist (Dubai), Laparoscopy Specialist (AIIMS), Delhi

Infertility poses a growing challenge for many couples today, affecting every sixth couple and significantly impacting their personal and social lives. While infertility is a treatable medical condition, raising awareness and understanding is crucial to helping couples overcome this obstacle. If a couple is unable to conceive after 12 months of unprotected intercourse, seeking consultation with an infertility specialist is recommended. A comprehensive fertility checkup, including ultrasound, blood tests, and semen analysis, can identify underlying issues and guide treatment planning. Conditions such as prolonged white discharge, PID, thyroid disorders, PCOS, and hormonal imbalances can hinder conception but can often be managed with timely intervention. Similarly, semen abnormalities can be addressed with medication, reducing the need for advanced treatments like IVF/ICSI. Embracing a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, weight management, and avoiding habits like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, can further improve fertility prospects. Seeking guidance from experienced fertility experts ensures timely and effective treatment, maximizing the chances of experiencing the joy of parenthood. On this Women’s Day, we acknowledge the contribution of Dr. Richa Singh who has helped so many women to brace the joy of motherhood and continuing the same

Dr. Jyoti S Bali, Medical Director – BabySoon Fertility & IVF Centre, Delhi

In today’s society, women are increasingly prioritizing financial independence before starting a family, leading many to delay marriage and motherhood. However, Dr. Jyoti S Bali emphasizes the importance of understanding the biological clock for women. She explains that a girl child is born with a limited ovarian reserve, which gradually declines over time, impacting fertility as women age. To empower women on their journey to motherhood, Dr. Bali advises considering options like egg freezing before the age of 35 to preserve fertility. She stresses the significance of early investigations, including Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) tests and baseline scans, to assess ovarian reserve. However, Dr. Bali highlights that age remains the most critical factor influencing fertility. On International Women’s Day, she encourages women to take proactive steps towards preserving their fertility while pursuing financial independence, empowering themselves to make informed decisions about their reproductive health.

Moreover, the physical transformations of pregnancy, including the growth of new life within the womb, highlight the remarkable strength and adaptability of the female body.

While women’s day is often celebrated by younger girls/ women and young mothers older women in their 40s-50s are often pushed into the shadows of such celebrations. When validation from society reduces as the child grows into an independent adult, society begins to make them feel their job is done. At this age, women often feel deprived of attention or a sense of withdrawal, naming conditions with socio-cultural influences like empty-nest syndrome, perimenopausal, aging, women during these times are forced to believe the purpose is completed and often neglect themselves towards health issues and mental health. It’s during these times when health issues begin to rise which should be checked. For Appointment – Jaslok hospital, Phone: 022-66573014, Reception (vizita): +91-98693 18319, drsambitnanda@gmail.com

Dr. Shalini Jain Nawal sheds light on the vital role of IVF for cancer patients seeking to expand their families.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 8: Losing her father in her earlier year of career she started supporting her family, Alina Khan’s story stands tall as a testament to resilience and unwavering determination. A young and dynamic entrepreneur, Alina’s journey from Delhi to the bustling streets of the City of Dreams – Mumbai in 2015 was driven by an unyielding passion for acting and fashion, coupled with entrepreneurial desire to excel.

Alina was at home and her staff called her and explained the situation. She herself came to restaurant and cooked the food for them. Her philosophy is no one should go hungry from her kitchen. Customers were spell bound as they never expected owner to come at night and cook the food for them. This explains her customer commitment.

The Promise of Tomorrow
