Arjun Roy, a 32-year-old software engineer...
Arjun Roy, a 32-year-old software engineer and first-time father, was anxiously awaiting the birth of his daughter. His wife, Priya, was at 32 weeks gestation when she was admitted with severe, sudden-onset preeclampsia. Her blood pressure was dangerously high, and she developed severe headaches and visual disturbances. Despite medication, her condition worsened, and tests showed signs of placental insufficiency, threatening the baby's oxygen supply. The obstetrician, Dr. Sharma, recommended an emergency C-section to deliver the baby immediately, explaining it was the safest option for both mother and child. The procedure was swift but tense; Arjun held Priya's hand, terrified but trying to be strong. Their daughter, Leela, was born small but let out a weak cry before being whisked to the NICU. Priya recovered well from surgery, though she was weak. Leela spent 5 weeks in the NICU, growing stronger each day. Arjun's emotional journey was a rollercoaster of fear, helplessness, and guilt, feeling he couldn't protect his family. After the procedure, seeing his wife stabilize and his tiny daughter fight, his fear slowly transformed into profound gratitude and a fierce, protective love. The experience bonded the new family in an unexpected, powerful way.
