Saarthi Samvad: Chandigarh,

 

Motherhood is a challenging task. And it surely calls for a little bit of
celebration. Like a ‘ramp walk with baby bump’ a show held at the
Chandigarh Club. On successful completion of 15 years, the doctor couple –
one an obstetrician and other a paediatrician - Dr RS Bedi and Dr Mrs GK
Bedi of Bedi Hospital launched this unique concept called “Celebrating
Motherhood-An Infotainment Mom & baby’s day out” under their mission -
Safe-Mother-Safe Child & Healthy Families - to highlight all aspects of
maternity in a fun-filled manner. Notably, it is for the first time that
such a show has been organised in Tricity, where around 250 contestants
from tricity, and as far as Amritsar and Ludhiana participated.

 

With a baby bump of seven months, Ananya, from Sector 47 said, “I have been
sleepless for the last seven months because we had a premature delivery
last time. I was shifted to PGI in the middle of night. The baby needed
ventilator which was not available, now we have chosen a centre where
facilities for both mother and child are available, this outing was an
out-of-the-world experience.” Husband Mukesh Kapoor, a resident of Sector
24, had an interesting story to share on stage, “My wife Anjali woke me up
in the middle of the night around 3 AM and asked me to take her to a chaat
paapdi stall.”

 

Explaining about the concept, Dr RS Bedi said, “Motherhood is the most
fulfilling, yet a very serious business and it starts before conception.
Even a little negligence can ruin this great experience.” During the show,
exciting contests and ramp walks for Maternity Queen Pageant, Mom and Baby
shows (Chandigarh Prince & Princess), kids’ activities, customised baby
product displays were held. This was interspersed with expert talks on
pre-natal genetic screening, umblical cord cell banking by wellness partner
Lifecell, avoiding Caesarian, choosing the right maternity centre, yoga,
exercisesand skin care in pregnancy, baby-care, infertility, menopause,
among other topics.
