MARRIED

13 Weeks

"So... when are you... ngetest, Sal?" ask Adit while shaking the testpack he holds.

They're still in bed. Adit sat on the headboard while holding Salma who leaned his head against him. Their eyes were still fixed, staring at the testpack that had been held by Adit. The smile of both of them did not disappear, it continued to be engraved every second.

"So morning, I read the best condition if you take a testpack in the morning"

"Means... Have you been getting any signs of pregnancy since when? How did you get it from me?"

Salma smiled. "I didn't give it up, mas. I bought the testpack on a whim yesterday"

"White?"

Salma nodded. "So if you want to pay for Adit mas medicine yesterday, I saw this testpack on one of the shelves. I don't know why, I'll just take it"

"So, you don't know if you're actually pregnant"

Salma nodded back. "Emang mas Adit ever saw me vomit?"

"Hmmm. never, a month ago when we went to Fiji"

"But that was a long time ago, Mom"

The two of them were silent, struggling with their thoughts. Then Salma sat himself down and looked at Adit with a confused look on his face.

"Why?" ask Adit.

"Maybe... I was pregnant when we went to Fiji, mas?"

"Hmm. I don't know, but at that time you were often nauseous and vomiting. You don't want to know when was the last menstrual period?"

Salma shook her head. "But as I recall, I last mens that fit the pain was mas"

Adit scrunched his forehead. "But it's been a long time, right on your birthday"

Salma nodded. "After that, I don't know if I'm mens or not. After that, I focused on preparing for the children's final semester exams, correction, report card scores, preparation to Fiji the same move home. So..."

"So if you're pregnant, it must be more than two months old now, Sal" cut Adit quickly.

Salma is back speechless. If this is true, how can he not feel the change in himself. His eyes immediately glazed over, his tears instantly flowing with a rush.

"Why can I not?" mumbling slowly.

"Hey, this is your pregnancy Sal. You also do not get signs of pregnancy in general, naturally if you do not know"

"If I knew early, I could not get the vitamins that support its growth, right? I can be more careful in activities, and can be more aware of all the intake that goes into my body"

"It's OK, baby. At least we're not too late, are we? Or... You want to move to another hospital, we'll find a doctor with practice hours this afternoon?"

Previously, Adit and Salma had registered a queue to check by phone. Salma chose the doctor because the doctor he often saw on TV.

Salma shook her head. "No way, I want the same doctor Vania"

"Yaudah, at three o'clock we leave for the hospital. Now, you have to have breakfast first. I'm going to the mini market for a while to buy you some pregnancy milk, OK?"

Salma nodded. "Keep, how are our parents?"

"Hmmm, what is important today we check first. After that we will prepare a surprise for our parents. They must be looking forward to it just as much as we are, right?"

"Yes, because we're their only hope for grandchildren"

"And he will be a favorite grandson" said Adit while stroking Salma's stomach.

🎎

"Yes" answered Salma.

He and Adit immediately got out of his waiting chair. Salma clasped Adit's hand tightly.

"Calm down, baby. We'll see him soon at the checkup later" Adit whispered as he walked towards the examination hall.

"Good afternoon, any good news today?" ask Vania's doctor as Adit and Salma sit in front of her.

"Yes, this morning, I checked the testpack and got two lines" Salma replied.

"When's the last mens, ma'am?"

"Eeee. I remember that about three or four months ago. It looks like early September. Because after that I did a lot of work, so I didn't pay much attention to it"

Doctor Vania laughed. "Father, let me check first for more details"

Salma walked to a bed, and laid her body there. A nurse helped Salma uncover her clothes and began rubbing the gel under her.

Adit was beside the bed, clasping Salma's hand so tightly and coldly. His face could not hide the look of tension as Vania's doctor began examining his wife.

"Wow... it's big" exclaimed doctor Vania when a picture was displayed on the examination screen.

"Let's see, the fetus has grown perfectly"

"It's our baby" whispered Adit as she kissed Salma's forehead. Both of them seemed to hold back their tears, but it was certainly not easy.

"This has gone into week 13, the fetus is healthy, the size is approximately seven centimeters, and. It weighs about 20 grams" said Dr. Vania while moving the examination tool in Salma's stomach.

"He's moving!" exclaim Salma who saw the movement on the screen the results of the examination.

"Yes, at this age the fetus has begun to have movement. But I can't feel it yet. Her genitals have also begun to form, but it is still unclear. Later after sixteen weeks usually have been able to see the gender" said doctor Vania while taking prints of the results of USG.

"Please clean the gel" asked doctor Vania to the nurse as she walked to her desk. Followed by Adit and Salma.

"But, why is my stomach still flat like this Doc?"

"Hahahaha, that's natural, because this is the first pregnancy. Indeed there are people who are only four months pregnant but already look great despite not pregnant twins. But there is also such a thing, his stomach still does not look enlarged. For me it's not a problem, which is important is the condition of the fetus is healthy" replied doctor Vania by presenting the results of USG.

"So, so far, no morning sickness?"

"No doc. But it used to be nausea vomiting that, just a few days. It's normal again"

"That's great, so there's still a lot of food that can get into the body. Eee.. This is the first trimester is over, so the risk for miscarriage must also decrease because the fetus has begun to be strong. But must be considered also the activity, do not let the fatigue let alone fall yes"

"Yes, doc. Then, during this time I do not take vitamins for pregnancy doc, does it affect the growth of the fetus?"

"No, that's no problem. During this time the fetus can intake vitamins and minerals from the food that the mother consumes, the evidence is that the mother's fetus develops very well, right?"

Salma nodded.

"This is the vitamin I prescribed. There is folic acid, calcium, the same in case I also give you some nausea drug tablets. Drink it if it's unbearable nausea"

"Well, doc, what about the food, Doc?"

"My personal, I never forbid my patients to eat anything. Just don't overdo it. Want to eat spicy please, but don't be too spicy and too much. Everything that is excessive is not good, whatever it is. Eat whatever you want, the important thing must be considered also cleanliness and cooking. Do not eat raw or undercooked food, it should be mateng. Seafood that contains mercury also do, contain alcohol and others. Choose foods that are nutritious and should be cooked properly"

"Nice doc"

"Does anyone want to ask?" ask Dr. Vania with a smile.

"Doctors must know, what is the main question of a husband who leads his wife to check the content of hahahaha"
