Jonty Rodes wrote on his Facebook Page: With India now 3 days old, Melanie and I have had some time to reflect on the amazing birth experience we have just been through. No strangers to bringing children into this world, you would think that we would be calm throughout, but having chosen to have the delivery in India, we were slightly nervous, despite all our combined "experience"!
However, our apprehension was laid to rest as soon as we met our midwife, Lina Duncan,and she took Melanie to meet Dr Ameet Dhurandhar at Surya Childcare Hospital.

Lina is an expert in home and water births, and was really excited about helping us through this beautiful journey, but it was Dr Ameet's "hands off" approach that truly allowed us to embrace this new experience, and we found his attitude towards our wishes and Lina's expertise, both empowering and respectful. Melanie and I just wanted to thank the entire "team" who helped make India's birth truly INCREDIBLE!"
