Heena Mishra (name changed), a 34-year-old homemaker from Mumbai, had been trying to conceive for ten years before successfully achieving pregnancy through IVF. However, her pregnancy was complicated by diabetes mellitus and anemia, and at 25 weeks, she experienced premature rupture of membranes, necessitating an emergency delivery.
The baby, born weighing just 800 grams, cried immediately after birth but required immediate ventilation due to severe respiratory distress. Dr. Nitu Mundhra, Consultant Neonatologist & Pediatrician at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road, led a team to retrieve the baby from the referring hospital.
