A woman goes through so much during childbirth

I went inside the OT and met Divyanka, I just held her hand. I checked on her, and saw the babies. Everything was happening so fast, and it was quite overwhelming. During the 20 minutes I spent inside with her, she was given sedation and eventually fell asleep. After that, I moved to the other side and watched the surgery. After witnessing all of it, you realise just how much a woman goes through during childbirth. There is so much blood loss, and it really makes you understand the immense strength of a mother.







We’ve been blessed with twin boys,’ and instantly the whole family burst into happiness and excitement

For months, she carries the baby, deals with physical changes, hormonal fluctuations, and everything that comes with pregnancy. Then, on the day of delivery, she goes through an experience that is incredibly demanding both physically and emotionally. When I came out of the operation theatre, the entire family was waiting outside. Everyone was excited and eager to hear the news from me. But after everything I had just witnessed, I was so overwhelmed that I didn’t even know how to react. I told them, ‘We’ve been blessed with twin boys,’ and instantly the whole family burst into happiness and excitement.

On holding the babies - I didn’t experience that immediate rush of emotion

A little later, the doctors brought the babies outside, and I held them in my arms. People often talk about the overwhelming joy fathers feel when they first see their children, but honestly, I didn’t experience that immediate rush of emotion. At that moment, I felt emotionally numb and confused. So many thoughts ran through my mind. I kept asking myself, ‘Am I ready for this? Am I responsible enough? Will I be able to be a good father?’

After a couple of hours, it finally hit me that I was now a father to two beautiful boys.

It took me some time to process everything. Slowly, over the next 20 to 45 minutes, the emotions started settling in. After a couple of hours, it finally hit me that I was now a father to two beautiful boys.
