Love In Silence
Check the contents
After they had all finished eating, Aksa invited them all to pray the congregational maghrib and Aksa as his priest. After the prayer, Aksa immediately delivered the wife to check the womb. Axel and Alexa are in the room to study. School holidays do not mean study holidays either. Axel and Alexa must be able to get the highest score in order to make both parents proud.
The Mother and Child Hospital
"Well, how am I really pregnant?" ask Balqis.
"Yes ma'am, you've been pregnant for a month." The doctor answered in a very friendly voice.
"Well, how many times do I have to check my content?" ask Balqis.
"4x mom. When the first trimester is enough once and try before the 16th week. During the second trimester, just one time is also between weeks 24-28. For the third trimester it should be twice that is between weeks 30-32 and weeks 36-38. However, the recommendation of Permenkes RI was slightly different from the latest guidelines issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2016. Through its press release, WHO recommends every pregnant woman to do a pregnancy check at least 8 times, starting from 12 weeks gestation."
"So, which one to follow?" ask Aksa
"Basically, both recommendations are equally good. With more frequent gynecological examinations, doctors can be more accurate to measure the age of your pregnancy. Because if something goes wrong when measuring gestational age, doctors can be more difficult to diagnose, prevent, and treat the risk of complications that can occur, such as preterm labor and preeclampsia.
Ideally, if this is your first pregnancy, you should get a pregnancy checkup 10 times over the next nine months. If you already have children, the Gynecologic exam should ideally be done at least 7 times, unless you have certain medical conditions.
The purpose of this increase in the number of visits is to increase the life expectancy of babies and mothers. Because with only 4 times check the womb, the risk of disease and death in mothers and babies is still quite high." The doctor replied smiling.
"So what should be checked during the examination of the contents?" balqis asked curiously because this was her first pregnancy so she should know all about it.
"Integrated content screening includes 18 different types of tests, among which include: Personal health condition check and family history of illness. Basic physical examination, such as body temperature check, size of upper arm circumference, blood pressure, weight and height, Hb level, protein levels in the urine (urine test), blood sugar check, blood sugar, up to a total blood test for the risk of disease (viral and bacterial infections, as well as other diseases, such as thalassemia).
Pelvic exam and pap smear" replied the doctor explaining in detail.
"All right, I understand, thank you doc for the explanation. I'll take care of it." Balqis said that because he saw the clock had shown at 7 pm, he could not go out too long because he was thinking with Axel and Alexa who were at home.
"Yes ma'am." The doctor replied smiling.
After that Balqis and Aksa immediately went home to his house without stopping here and there.
