Maintaining a Happy Pregnancy Brings Forth a Lifetime Gift

29 year old Seema Gupta and her husband from Mumbai were blessed with a charming baby girl in May. After having witnessed a couple of unfortunate miscarriages in the family, the couple took every possible measure to ensure a normal delivery.

Seema decided to give significant importance to her mental health, as much as her clinical health. Sadly, most couples in India still tend to ignore the impact of surroundings on mental health of pregnant women.

No more studies are required to show importance of a good mental health during pregnancy. The experiences you go through impacts the baby. It's been scientifically proven.

But maintaining a happy pregnancy is easier said than done; an expectant mother faces numerous challenges during pregnancy, from unsupportive partners to the stress of pregnancy itself. To make things worse, women prefer keeping mum about the stress they deal with.

One of the biggest contributors to mental strain is loneliness. "The hardest part was to keep myself busy after I took a break from work", says Seema. As the husbands mostly stay out for good 12-14 hours, most women are virtually left with no one to communicate with. Some might chat with their friends or family members, but it doesn't help in the long run.

Dr. Nitika Sobti, Sr. Consultant – Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Max Healthcare, enkindled the idea of helping women with Virtue Baby Kit.

Virtue Baby Kit takes care of the hearts and minds of expecting parents, who are planning to bring forth a new life into the world. The kit consists of four extremely helpful fragments, which are listed below.
