Two New Born Babies Score Perfect 10 - The Cradle Bangalore Maternity Hospital

Sunday was one opportunity in a century to mention that unusual set of numbers in the dateline of a letter.

On October 10,2010, commonly written as 10-10-10 across the world, two babies here in the City were born at exactly 10 o’clock 10 minutes and 10 seconds. The couples - Ankitha and Ashish Kumar - Pavithra and Vinod were blessed with the babies.

While some numerologists believe the birth of a child today could be auspicious, others say it has no special meaning. “The number 10-10-10 has no significance on its own. But look at it in relation with occult practices, then the numbers have a lot to say,” said S N Thekur, a city-based numerologist.

According to Thekur, the number 1 in the 10 is the denomination of the Sun. Add the number 1 three times in 10-10-10, then it is 3. “Three is the number assigned to planet Jupiter in the numbers designated from 1 to 9, each to a planet. Jupiter stands for traditional values and Genealogy,” Thekur said.

Towards spirituality

According to the numerologist, those who were born on the day will lean towards spirituality and have a favourable mix in their life with both the Sun and Jupiter playing their part.

Amara Bavani Dev, another noted astrologer believes that the birth of a child on this day could spell ‘good karma’ which has bestowed them to be born on this day.

“People born on this day are very fortunate and will experience a culmination of previous good karma. as the first of the two-digit numbers, 10 also represents a whole new of experiences,” she said.

On the other hand, another City-based numerologist, D Jagannatha Rao believes that the number casts a lot of concerns.

“While the number looks pretty, it signifies a lot troubles later in life. The number of zeros in today’s day shows that the person who is born today will have to do a lot of hard work to succeed,” said Rao.

Whether the children born in the City on 10-10-10 or across the world will have to struggle or will sail through life is a question only time can answer. But on Sunday, it was a day of celebrations for the two families who added a new member to their family and lives.

QnA With Dr Kishore on Why Most Men Go Into Denial About Infertility

Dr Kishore Kumar, consultant neonatologist and CEO, The Cradle ( http://www.thecradlebangalore.com) the developments in infertility treatment since the birth of the first test-tube babyin 1978

Do you think in-vitro fertilisation is now accepted as part of regular medical
procedures? Are there any social stigmas attached to it in India?
Ever since the first test-tube baby was born, there were concerns raised about IVF.

Many conservatives who opposed such treatment even threatened to kill the man who has now been honoured with the Nobel Prize for medicine,
Robert Edwards. Indian doctors too faced challenges in offering IVF treatment. However, 1978 was a long time ago, and much water has flowed down the bridge
since then. IVF is no longer stigmatised.

That is not to say, however, that there is greater scientific understanding of the problems of infertility in the general mass of the Indian population.

Even today, when a couple arrives for treatment, the assumption is often that
the woman is responsible for being unable to conceive. For a man, his very manhood is defined by his vigour and his fertility.

When men are told that the problem lies with them, there is huge denial, great reluctance to accept the diagnosis. Up to 45% of the cases we see are due to problems with the man.

Q. Is the treatment now available to the common man?
Fortunately, infertility is not
such a common problem.Over the years, treatment has also become very much more affordable. Treatment procedures that earlier cost over Rs1lakh can now be had for
about Rs50,000.

Q. Are your patients mostly urban?
A majority of those who seek such treatment live in urban areas. But we even have patients who come to urban centres from rural areas, seeking such treatment.The number of such couples is still low, but I’m sure that with time, there will be more couples from rural areas seeking treatment for infertility.

Q. Does IVF come with many risks?

Yes. A pregnancy that results from this procedure could be fraught with the risk of miscarriage or still-birth. However, couples are often well-informed
of the risks they take.

Q. Are there programmes for creating awareness about IVF?

Promoting awareness of the infertility problem is the least of the worries of the government, which is attempting to control the population explosion. Infertility is a very personal problem. Information passes through word of mouth, and that is happening. People now know that there is medical solution to the problem
of infertility.

However, there is a silver lining which indicates what phase is conducive for safe exercising during pregnancy. Expecting women should keep it in their minds that they cannot do exercises throughout the period of their pregnancy. Most of the workout activities prescribed for these women is not supposed to be done during the last few months of pregnancy. Usually, experts recommend some safe exercise tips for women during the period of their pregnancy. These tips include:

There are mainly four types of cardiovascular exercises. These include walking, swimming, dancing and low-impact aerobic exercises.

• bouncing
• jarring (anything that would cause a lot of up and down movement)
• leaping
