The Forbidden Desire of the Wife

Braxton Hicks

Unsettled, Abraham takes Marsha to the Hospital. In his heart, Abraham hoped that Marsha could survive and of course be patient.

"Patience well Shayang .. let it be checked by Doctor Indri," said Abraham.

"Euhm, yes Mas" replied Marsha.

Some time they waited, until finally Marsha examined by Doctor Indri. Not much to say, Doctor Indri asked Marsha to lie on top of the gurney first. Then there are some questions asked by Doctor Indri.

"The pain is often not Miss Marsha?" ask Dr. Indri.

"No, Doc .. only sometimes come and sometimes disappear" Marsha replied.

Examination is still done with ultrasound to see the age of the baby, amniotic fluid levels in the womb, and the position of the baby.

"Yes, this is 39 weeks' gestation. So, it is possible for signs of labor to occur. The baby's head has also gone down, Ms. Marsha .. then, the amount of amniotic fluid is still enough. The water is also clean and good well, because on the monitor it looks that the water is not turbid," explained Dr. Indri.

Marsha and Abraham also listened to the examination procedures performed by Doctor Indri. Relieved to hear the baby is good, the water is enough, just that there are things that make both of them feel unsettled, namely the signs of pregnancy that seems to have happened.

"Now ... do we check in, Mom?" said Dr. Indri.

As a first-time pregnant person, Marsha wonders what a deep check is.

"What's the check on that Doc?" ask Marsha.

"Inner check or internal examination is a procedure performed by midwives or doctors inserting their fingers into the birth canal to feel the cervix, and to estimate how dilated it is during labor," replied Doctor Indir.

Marsha just nodded her head, better to follow the instructions of Doctor Indri. Because, he'll know the inside checks are like that.

"Now, listen to my instructions yes Ms. Marsha .. open both her thighs, I will check in, and Ms. Marsha do not think strangely. Breathe in, and hold when the examination occurs well," instructions from Doctor Indri.

First Doctor Indri wore medical gloves, then assisted by a nurse to open Marsha's thigh, then both fingers into Marsha's birth canal. As both of her fingers entered, Marsha whimpered and cried.

"Aw, sick Doc ...."

"It's okay, Miss Marsha. So that we know if the baby will be born soon."

A few minutes passed, and when Doctor Indri's finger came out, apparently there was a blood patch. Then Doctor Indri seemed to consider the blood from the cervix.

"Having opened two, Ms. Marsha .. opening two for future mothers who will give birth can usually take many more days to get to the opening ten or the perfect opening," said Dr. Indri.

Then Marsha tidied up her clothes, and then sat down in front of the Doctor's desk and then went back to consult.

"So, what kind of heartburn is Doc?" ask Marsha.

"False contraction or braxton hicks. Indeed, false contractions are a natural thing experienced when the mother is nearing labor. False contractions generally last faster and irregularly compared to the original contractions. False contractions usually occur about 30-60 seconds or at most two minutes," explained Dr. Indri.

"Then, how should I Doc?" ask Marsha.

"Do more light activity, rest, change the sitting position to lie down, and drink enough water so that the mother does not experience dehydration" replied Dr. Indri.

Abraham also paid attention to the explanation of Doctor Indri. It feels bad, even though it is still limited to false contractions, what if it really is a contraction later.

"Try Mother Marsha install this application to record the period of contraction. Every time you feel mules, you can push this button to record well. Because these false contractions contract with erratic frequency, contractions do not last long and even tend to disappear when the mother does light activity, contractions are not accompanied by stains or blood spots, and the, and also the contraction does not make the water rupture," explained Dr. Indri again.

"From opening two to opening next how long is Doc?" ask Abraham.

"It could depend anyway Mr. .. there is today opening two, the night has given birth. However, there are also days or even a week. So, Mom and Dad came home okay. If the frequency of the contract has been more often later can return to the Hospital."

Hearing the advice delivered by Doctor Indri, Marsha and Abraham returned home. An uncertain feeling. Think about what the delivery will be like. Just a false contraction to cause pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen.

"Go home well .. wait for the contract to be more regular and the opening to increase. Hopefully soon the baby will be launching soon. I was panicking, confused as to what to do," said Abraham honestly.

Marsha follows Abraham to get inside his car. "Mama must be confused because we go home again" said Marsha.

"It's okay Shayang .. anyways we also do not know when the opening increased. The more sensitive yes Shayang .. recorded the frequency of his contract. If the pregnancy symptoms come, we go to the hospital, "Abraham replied.

By calming himself down, Abraham brings Marsha back to his unit. Praying in your heart that if you can open two to the next opening it does not take days.

"Why go home again?" ask Mama Diah who is also confused to see Marsha and Abraham returning home to the unit.

"Yes Ma .. has opened two anyway, but only limited to false contractions," Marsha replied.

"Oalah .. still a false contraction. To rest first, Sha ... is the same for squat standing, let it get down and add opening," said Mama Diah.

"Yes Ma" Marsha replied.

Abraham helps Marsha to sit on the sofa, then rubbed his wife's stomach. "Baby sister wants to launch when? Give a wave of love to Mama well," replied Abraham.

Not long after, Mama Diah stood up and gave Marsha a cup of hot tea.

"Drink the tea first, Sha .. to make it more delicious," said Mama Diah.

"Thank you Ma" replied Marsha.

"Patient well. Hopefully soon," replied Mama Diah.

Both Mama Diah and Abraham both prayed and hoped that the false contractions experienced by Marsha would be replaced with more regular contractions of frequency, and soon both babies could be born soon.
