Forcing Restu

Chapter 18

"The urine protein is negative, Mas. The rest are normal." Rani replied showing her lab results to Rio.

"Thank God, there's nothing to worry about."

"Hopefully, Mas. It's just that my legs keep swelling up, not a good sign either. Still worried though. My face is swollen too?" Rani patted her cheeks.

"Yaudah, let's go to Doctor Nita's room again, ask for further explanation. Better what to do, let the swelling not get worse." Take Rio to his wife.

"Yes, Mum."

They both went back to the check room. Submit the lab results to the assistant doctor who served in front of Doctor Nita's room.

"Wait a minute, Mom!" Said the assistant doctor, then entered the room of Doctor Nita.

"Okay, thanks."

Rani and Rio sat in the waiting chair that was still empty. Rani looks to her right and left, she feels lucky because her husband is still willing to interfere with her gynecological problems. Many pregnant women around Rani who come alone, or accompanied by other women. Either his brother, or his mother.

"Thank you, Mom. You care about my pregnancy." Rani suddenly said.

"You don't have to say that, it's my job as a father-to-be. I need to know my son's progress, right?" Rio answered smart-ass.

"Yes, Mas. Though first check, you just do not want you know, I invite you to sit here. He wants to sit there." Rani pointed to a waiting area that was public.

"I don't want to wait here. But there adem. Near the portable AC, tuh!" Rio pointed to the portable AC that was installed in the corner of the waiting room, where Rio sat playing HP at that time.

"Ooh, so that's the real reason you are, Mas?" Rani feels guilty for misunderstanding her husband.

"Yes yes. If it's here, narrow, jostling, the AC's also on the other end! Not strong!" Rio added his reason.

"Yes too, Mas. I guess it's because you don't want to come into the room. Don't want to know our child's development."

"Yes! From the beginning, I entered the room, right? Wait here and there the same. If you're called, I can be horrified too."

"Yes, too, my mother."

"Everything, don't like being prejudiced keeps on with me!"

"Yes, Mas. Sorry."

"Mother Chintya Maharani!" Finally, Rani's name was called as well. Because he was actually in the early queue, but was told to check the lab first, so now Rani was called again. Preceded, rather than waiting on the bench with Rani and Rio earlier.

"Yes, Sus."

Rani and Rio immediately entered the room. Inside, Dr. Nita is already seriously paying attention to Rani's lab results.

"Please, Mom, Sir!" Doctor Nita invited to sit down.

"Thank you, Doc."

"Good, Mom. From the results of urine and blood tests, urine protein is negative, although still must be vigilant. Blood test results are good, everything is normal. His blood pressure is a bit high. One of the signs of preeclampsia." Doctor Nita gave her analysis.

"Yes, Doc. What do you have to do, Doc? Let's be normal again?" Hearing the word preeclampsia, made Rani very worried.

"For now, try drinking water, ma'am, just reduce the consumption of salt. If you want, eat foods that can reduce tension, eat cucumber, watermelon, or other foods that can reduce tension. Although it does not go down, at least it is stable, do not go up. If the tension is higher, it can be risky for the mother and baby. Then try to keep eating a balanced nutritious diet, keep the weight off as well, this is up a lot of this, Mom, from the previous check." Doctor Nita gives Rani advice.

"All right, Doc." Rani nodded in understanding.

"If for example something happens, a very emergency condition, should be taken directly to the IGD only, Mom! For example, the head is very dizzy to not restrained, nausea vomiting, eyes twitching or blurred until it can not see clearly or other emergencies. Especially until the seizure. Must be taken to the IGD right away, ma'am. Let the doctor deal with it soon." Doctor Nita gives Rani another message.

"All right, Doc." Rani nodded back.

"So, what do you want to ask first? Before we see the condition of the fetus?" Doctor Nita invites Rani to ask questions.

"Preeclampsia is why, Doc? Is it because of genes? Is it because there is a history? I'm just pregnant first, Doc. I'm still young, too, when can I get preeclampsia?" Rani asks what she still doesn't understand. Although working as a nurse, but still, there are still many things that have not been mastered by Rani.

"Preeclampsia is unexpected, ma'am. But luckily, Ms. Rani always exercises routine controls, so get noticed early. It does not have to be the one who is old, not necessarily the one who is still under 20 years old. It doesn't have to be anyone with a history, ma'am. Anyway really unexpected thing. Although it's normal all this time, it does sometimes suddenly attack, ma'am." Doctor Nita explained.

"Let's see first the condition of the fetus. Please lie down!" Doctor Nita gave Rani an order, to check further. As usual, Rani is helped by a doctor's assistant to open the abdomen until needed. Do not forget to apply with gel.

After that, Doctor Nita began to move the ultrasound device, while putting a little pressure on Nita's stomach. Looking at some point, everything is in check as a whole.

"Well, this is a good position, it has started to face the birth canal. Amniotic fluid is also quite, heavy is also normal. The placenta does not close the birth canal. Let's listen to his heartbeat!" Doctor Nita hardened the volume, so that the sound of fetal heartbeat in Nita's stomach was heard.

"Good, normal and strong. Overall, the condition of the fetus is normal, ma'am." Doctor Nita finished her examination. The assistant immediately wiped the gel that was in Nita's stomach.

"Thanks, Doc. Then this is what to look out for even my health huh?" Nita reaffirmed.

"Rubber, Ma. My message was, reduce salt, drink more water, eat foods that to reduce tension, as well as not much thought. It also affects tension." Doctor Nita again reminded me what to do by Rani.

"Good, Doc. Thanks though. If there is, given medicine or vitamins also do not papa, Doc. I'm afraid that the tension keeps going up."

"Rubber, Ma. I will prescribe. Don't worry too much, Mom! It can also affect tension. Or just hospitalize, Mom? So that his condition can be monitored? If needed will also be given lung booster injections for the fetus. So that if you have to be born prematurely, the fetal lungs are strong." Doctor Nita gives advice to Rani and Rio.

"Where, Mas?" Rani asked her husband.

"If you want yes no problem anyway, but you have to advance your leave as well? What's the procedure at the hospital where you work?" Rio handed everything to Rani.

"If indeed the emergency condition is not too disputed anyway, Mas. But the problem is now that I feel fine, just tension and some parts of my body just swell this.using also just sometimes." Answer Rani.

Doctor Nita who heard Rio and Rani's conversation, responded.

"So Mrs Chintya works at the hospital?" Ask Doctor Nita to Rani.

"Yes, Mom. I'm a regular nurse at a public hospital near here." Rani replied embarrassedly.

"Yes, that means it's okay, ma'am. If something happens that is not desirable, as I example earlier, directly to the IGD hospital where work is also okay. No need to come here. If it is currently felt that his condition is still fine, outpatient is okay, Mom. I'll give you some tension-reducing medication." Doctor Nita made the decision.

"Good, Doc. Then I'll take an outpatient first, Doc. If it's an emergency, I'll go straight to the IGD. But hopefully there will be no emergency, until delivery time." Rani finally made her decision.

"Aamiin, Mom."

"Good, please! Be healthy, Mom!"

"Aamiinu. Thank you, Doc."

Rani and Rio left Doctor Nita's room.

"Remember Doctor Nita's message! If you need to, take a leave from now on!" Said Rio while walking towards the waiting chair. Waiting to be called for payment and so on.

"Tomorrow to apply for leave if it has been mepet lahiran, Mas. I want to take a longer break after giving birth." Nita replied, rejecting the advice from Rio.

"Oh, if so, follow the advice of another doctor."

"Yes, Mas. But how is it? If something bad happens to me, then you're not home anymore?" Although not to worry too much, but in fact bad thoughts still approach Rani.

"Do we pay people? For your company, only if I work again." Said Rio suddenly.

"What do you mean, Mas?" Rani still doesn't understand.

"You work, I work too. If you work again is not a problem, because in the hospital there will be many people, and that is also a health worker right. So if there is an emergency, you will be helped quickly. But if it's rented, and I'm working, then you're just alone, well we just tell him you're right at home. And I'm on the job again. So you have a friend, for example, something emergency happens, he can take you to the hospital, or ask for help with that." Rio explained his idea in detail.

"Yes, could be, Mas. But does anyone want to? I have no acquaintances at all. My friends also work all." Rani thought for a moment.

"You don't have to worry, if you agree, I'll find him." Said Rio steadily.

"OK, Mum. I'm coming with you." Rani replied, without any suspicion.

"OK if that's it. I'll find him." Said Rio once again, while commenting on the meaningful smile that Rani was not aware of.
