My servant, Asha

Explanation by Dr Murad

Dr. Murad explained, according to the study, that nausea vomiting during pregnancy can reduce the risk of miscarriage.

This study is said if in pregnant women who do not experience morning sickness, the risk of miscarriage is 3.2 times greater than with pregnant women who experience morning sickness.

In addition, pregnant women aged less than 25 years who do not experience nausea and vomiting will be at risk of experiencing an increase in miscarriage by 4 times than pregnant women who experience nausea and vomiting.

In fact, the risk of miscarriage will increase dramatically to 12-fold in pregnant women aged over 35 years who do not feel nausea and vomiting.

"Your wife is still strong. For nausea and vomiting this morning that can be said to be more severe is only a normal occurrence. Vomiting during pregnancy is a sign of a strong fetus, likely because of the body's natural response to protect the fetus, so that it can develop properly in the mother's womb. This response is a signal from the body to reject substances or food, which may not be in accordance with the needs of the mother or fetus and stimulate the intake of more quality nutrients needed by the mother and fetus. In addition, nausea and vomiting can also be a mechanism for the fetus to secrete substances that are harmful to fetal development." Arga listened to the doctor's explanation carefully.

"So ... is it possible because my wife ate something that was not good for the fetus?"

"That's possible. So at that time the fetus protects itself by making his mother nauseous and vomiting. Sometimes many people actually want nausea and vomiting during pregnancy because they want to know indirectly that their baby is healthy."

"So can my wife's nausea and vomiting be considered good?" ask Arga. This man turned out to be more chatty than his own wife who was pregnant.

"Although considered very reasonable, nausea in pregnant women can indeed vary. The severity is not the same, there is ordinary nausea, until the nausea is really disturbing and makes it difficult to eat and move. What about this lady?"

"I can still eat well, doc," replied Asha.

"But this morning, my wife was more limp than usual when she vomited." Arga says it's worse.

"Because it is still quite reasonable and not continuous, I replied, yes. It's not dangerous. Seeing your wife's body still at a healthy weight is not a problem."

Arga looked at his wife. "So it's really safe, huh doc?"

"If the severity is intolerable, consult me immediately. This is of course to prevent pregnant women from lacking the nutrients needed for fetal growth and development. Remember, stunting in children can also be caused and started since the fetus in the womb. Not only is it difficult to eat, when nausea causes you can not consume any drinks, until your wife has lost weight, this condition is very risky and needs to be checked immediately. But since your wife doesn't have much trouble with her nausea and vomiting right now, I think it's still safe."

Although Arga still felt unsure, he was a little relieved.

"Let the fetus in the stomach of your wife is very smart to be able to respond to which food and drinks are good and bad for herself. To elicit a nausea and vomiting response for his mother."

Hearing the word smart fetus, Arga smiled complacently. A proud look of his face flashed and stopped in his expression. Didn't indirectly say that the offspring is a smart baby.

"really. Maybe our baby is a smart baby. Because my husband is too," praised Asha. Makes Arga even happier and happier. Doctor Murad smiled.

"Kiat so as not to easily nausea anything, doc?" This time it was Asha who asked.

Dr Murad's explanation this time was also long. He also gave new knowledge about some efforts that can be done to minimize nausea and vomiting.

Make sure the stomach is filled. Eat with small portions by increasing the frequency (eating a little, but often).

Take a multivitamin regularly to reduce the effects of nausea during pregnancy, but make sure when consuming it the stomach is filled with food.

Avoid foods or drinks that trigger nausea.

Consumption of ginger foods or drinks that can help relieve nausea.

Drink more water by drinking little by little.

Make sure the rest time is sufficient.

Wear clothes as comfortable as possible. Many solutions to make the stomach comfortable and reduce nausea.

 

......................

After coming home from Murad's doctor, Arga had a lot of knowledge about pregnancy. Nausea and vomiting, also considered a sign of a healthy baby. So he did not need to feel panic or worry excessively.

"I didn't expect nausea and vomiting to be a sign of a strong fetus." Arga was amazed by the doctor's words.

"I just heard, too" said Asha.

"really?" Arga surprised. He turned his head towards his wife who was sitting on the bench beside him quickly. Then look ahead again.

"Why do you think this is my pregnancy? Obviously I just found out about this, my husband...." Asha was anxious with her husband's gaze earlier. Her fingers stretched out to the side to pinch her husband's cheek.

"Ehh, it's not like that. Seeing your calmness with this nausea vomiting thing, I think you know more than me." Arga also reached out to pinch Asha's nose. Asha snorts.

"No. I don't know much about getting pregnant. I'm just so sure that me and my baby are gonna be okay."

"I can't beat you in that kind of calm. Although the doctor has given me an understanding of this nausea vomiting clearly, still maybe I will still panic when I see you in pain and weakness like that. Maybe I'll stay, even more fussy it's when you experience it again." Asha. Arga felt defeated and admitted that he could not be as calm as himself.

"No problem. Keep panicking and fussing about my health and our baby's. It shows that you are a warm person. You don't feel calm knowing I'm in pain. That's a sign I'm in love with you." Asha leaned her head against her husband's arm.

"Is that so?" Arga glanced at his wife.

"Although I often argue, I'm actually very happy to be watched carefully by you. Thanks...."

"Thank you for what... It is the duty of a husband. I can't stand to see someone I love feeling sick. Both his body and his heart. So just talk about if your heart is hurting. I should know. So I can fix it."

"A person as good as you can hurt me." Asha smiled as she hugged her husband's arm.

"Thank God then." Arga took one hand off the wheel and rubbed his wife's head fondly.
