I was at a party recently and I was talking to a paediatrician. We wereenjoying our conversation, which was interspersed ever so frequently with Whatsappmessages on her mobile. She apologetically told me “You know the anxiety of new parents!”.How would I not know, having a premature baby myself and with no clue how tohandle one? Speaking to her, I realized yet again the importance of apaediatrician in my life or for that matter to any new mother. My baby’sPaediatrician came to meet me in the hospital before my C-Section, helped meget comfortable in the mind, even though it would be a premature birth. Thosecomforting words while lying on the OT table was such a huge relief for us. I remember with warmth how my Gynaecologist andPaediatrician worked to do what was best for my baby at birth.
