The Father's Choice Husband

Chapter 23

"Come to the midwife again, Deck!" Mas Aak made me realize from the seriousness of my seeing the writing on that long little paper.

"Oh, yes, Mas. Come on!" I kept the paper from the lab check, even though I didn't read it anymore, we both walked quickly, towards the midwife room. Apparently there are still people being examined. I decided to wait for the patient being examined to come out first, only later I entered to submit the results of the lab I held.

After a few minutes, the patient came out. I went straight in, before the midwife called out the name of the next patient.

"Mom, here's the lab check." I gave you the long paper that was brought by Madam Midwife.

"Oh, yes, Mom. Please sit!" Me and Mas Aak sat back down, just like at the time of the initial examination. Madam Midwife looked at my lab test results.

"Yes, Mom. As I thought, you are pregnant. Congratulations, Mom, sir!" Madam smiled at us in turn.

I looked towards Mas Aak who also still had nothing to comment. Honestly, I feel between happy, but also worried. Happy because it turns out we are both trusted to be cared for in the form of children. But also worried, what if we are not ready to be parents? Not ready to take care of and educate both of our children? Not ready to give a decent life to our child?

"Nausea, vomiting, lemes, dizziness is indeed natural for young pregnant women, Mom. So there's no need to worry too much. I'll bring you some vitamins, take them, Mom. That's for nausea relief, also for the adequacy of fetal calcium needs." Madam Midwife again gave me a message, even though from earlier I and Mas Aak were still silent. Busy with our own thoughts.

"Good, Mom." I'm nodding. I think I should learn about pregnancy.

"My message, even though it doesn't taste good, isn't comfortable, still have to eat yes, ma'am. Eat with balanced nutrition. If possible, the protein is added. You see, for the formation of fetal organs, need nutritious food," continued Bu Midwife.

"If the taboo isn't there, Mom? What can't you eat?" I asked what would be my life during this pregnancy.

"There are no restrictions, ma'am. Anything is fine, but if you can eat nutritious food. Avoid fast food, soft drinks and also snacks that are less nutritious. Because it is feared that his mother is full first, but the fetus can not be nourished anything. Is it the fetus? Please yes, sir! His assisted wife was reminded to eat nutritious food. Although the stomach may refuse, but still must be filled. Even if vomiting, at least the essence of food may have been absorbed. If you vomit, eat again, just keep going. Must be able to fight the tree. Please yes, sir!" The midwife gave a reasonable reasoning.

"Good, Mom." Me and Mas Aak answered compactly, we both nodded in understanding.

"If you can also avoid foods that trigger nausea. That'll know you yourself, Mom. Every pregnant woman can have her own abstinence."

"Good, Mom." I nodded again.

"It's best to do USG, Mom. In this early pregnancy. To see the condition of the uterus along with the position of the fetus and so forth. But you can't, Mom. So I have to go to the gynecologist." Madam Midwife again gave me advice.

"Good, Mom. Tomorrow try to go to the doctor. Isn't that right, Mas?" I looked towards Mas Aak who was sitting next to me, making sure that he also listened to what the midwife was saying. Because checking with the doctor, it must cost a lot, especially I do not have health insurance.

"Eh, emm, yes." Mas Aak stuttered, it seemed like he was thinking about many things.

"Oh yes, Mom. If my advice, immediately take care of family cards and so forth. You see, to make health insurance definitely need it. Get health insurance right away, ma'am. It usually takes a few weeks to wear. If it is still just a regular check, wear umun no problem. But when it is time to give birth, sometimes an emergency occurs. If you don't have a guarantee, it'll be heavy, ma'am. Yes, the hope is that everything can go well and normally. But reality doesn't always live up to expectations, so yes it's better to be ready for an umbrella before it rains. Wear an independent guarantee no papa, Mom. Pay dues every month does not matter, which is important, when it costs a lot, can be covered with that guarantee." Bu Midwife explained about health insurance at length.

All this time I didn't really care about this. Because I was very rarely sick, and even if I was sick, it was never severe, until I had to check into a health facility. But it seems like I should indeed follow the advice of the Midwife.

"Good, Mom. Thank you very much, Mom." I smiled, luckily the midwife was very friendly and kind.

"Together, Mom. Take care of his health, Mom. Don't get too many thoughts, also don't be too tired. Anyway must be remembered, now not only think of yourself, but also have to think about the condition of the fetus in the mother's stomach."

"Good, Mom. Thanks." I smiled before finally leaving the room and taking vitamins at the pharmaceutical department to pay the billed fee. It turns out that even in the puskesmas, I have spent a lot of money. Especially if you go to the doctor or clinic? Must be more than this.

"Mas, it looks like the real Bu Midwife said earlier," I said as I exited the puskesmas.

"Which Midwife said? So many words, Midwife." Cook scratched his head.

"We must immediately take care of the family card, also make health insurance, Mas. Just checked it out this time, you know. And every month I have to check, meaning every month at least have to prepare funds like this to check. Not to mention if you go to the obstetrician, it will cost more, Mas." I explained what I meant earlier.

"But if you make a guarantee also every month must pay dues, Deck. Same thing, I have to pay."

"But more if you don't use guarantees, Mas. I made a guarantee for the 3rd class also did not papa, really. After all, this is not just for now, but most importantly when giving birth, Mas. Let's not mind. If suddenly I have to have an operation what? Want to pay for public use? Obviously the cost will swell, Mas. Not only for my treatment, but also for our children later. What are we gonna pay for, if something like that happens, Mom?" I am still trying to make my husband's mind more open again with bad dreams, even though the hope is not so. But still, you have to be prepared with all the possibilities, right?
