Wulan In Night Wound

Chapter 33 Hi, Tiny Human

I arrived in front of a simple white-painted house with a sign "Dr. Ibrahim Hadiningrat, SPoG" in front of his fence. Looks still quiet, because it looks like it's still just opened. There are only two couples besides me. One couple whose wife is pregnant is old, and another wife with a pregnancy that has not been so visible.

I signed up for the reception. The young woman behind the reception desk asked me to wait until my name was called and said the doctor was getting ready.

"Aninda Deviani, please come in" the young lady announced.

The couple whose wife is pregnant has not been seen standing up and entering the room. The husband seemed to embrace his wife's shoulder and lead her in. I watched them, and there appeared a glimmer of envy and sadness in my heart. I immediately brushed off that feeling all the way. Some patients arrive when the first and second patients are examined.

When the first pair comes out and is replaced by the second pair. I watched the couple sitting opposite me to tidy up the innate and the medicine received from the doctor. The wife looked at the small piece of paper she was holding. Her face was beautiful with black hair cut up a layer of shoulder. The handsome husband with a firm jawline, thick black eyebrows and a face adorned with a thin beard. Maybe because I haven't shaved.

"Mas Adit, actually Anin said his son was a girl" said the wife.

"Yes.iya.. Later make a boy yes, let it be complete" replied the husband

"Ish, this one isn't born yet!" said the wife with lips that were washed.

The husband laughed crisply at his wife's behavior. I who have since noticed the interaction between the two apparently did not escape the sharp attention of the husband. As they stood up and left, the husband said, "Let's go, we go first".

"Aah, uh. Yes, mas, mbak please" I replied with an awkward smile because I did not expect to be greeted.

The first pair passed, and 10 minutes later the second pair came out of the check room.

"Wulan Febriana, please come in" my name was called.

I entered the room with a thumping heart. Looks like a male doctor with some gray hair here and there.

"Sit down, mbak Wulan" said the doctor as he read my registration file.

I smiled nervously and sat in the chair provided.

"Check the pregnancy, huh?"

"Yes, Doc"

"When was the first date of her last period?"

"Sorry, Doc. Forgetting", I answered, remembering the explanation of Midwife Lastri that the spots that occurred 2 weeks after the incident turned out not to be menstrual blood as I thought.

"Father. Please lie there" said the doctor, showing me a bed behind my back.

I took off my shoes and lay down on the bed.

The doctor placed a blood pressure gauge on my wrist. For a while the device was working to measure my blood pressure and the doctor observed the results.

"118/80, that's normal. Please lift a little of his shirt, then his legs are bent" the doctor's instructions.

"This is the baby boy, Mom. Hands and feet begin to form, this is what is like a bud. His head. Others are not so visible because they are still very small. From the size of the fetus, gestational age 9 weeks. We're listening to his heartbeat right now" he heard a rapid beating. I listened to the heartbeat of my future baby and the doctor's explanation in silence.

"Healthy, the heart rate of the baby candidate is good. 132/minute. I cleaned it first and then I was able to tidy up his clothes", continued the doctor and tore a small paper out of the USG machine.

The doctor sat back in his chair, then I followed after tidying up my clothes.

Doctor Ibrahim handed me a black and white photograph and explained it by pointing at some writing.

"This is a photo of USG, ma'am. This HPL is around February 27, 2011, can go forward or backward. This is the length of the fetus about 3.5 cm, this height will be like his mother. Then the weight of the fetus is also good almost 40 grams. The gender is not yet visible, maybe later the next control will be seen. Something to ask, Mom?” ask Dr. Abraham to end the explanation.

"HPL what is it, Doc?" many doubt.

"Oohh, Birth Day Forecast. Is there nausea vomiting?"

"Usually get out of bed until eight o'clock in the morning, Doc"

"Ga's fussy means the baby. Morning sickness is common in the early trimester of pregnancy. I'll just pack the blood-boosting capsules, yeah. If there is milk for pregnant women can be drunk if there is no allergy" said the doctor while preparing several strips of medicine for me.

(Morning sickness is a condition of nausea and vomiting in the first trimester of pregnancy that usually occurs in the morning. Although it does not rule out there are some women who feel nausea vomiting throughout the day)

"The medicine is taken once a day. I'm prescribing for a month or half first?"

"Last one month gapapa, Doc. There's a ban on eating, Doc?"

"Sugar food, please avoid first remember the morning sickness. Like yams, broccoli, cabbage. So that the nausea does not get worse. If nausea vomit is more severe and difficult to eat do not follow ya, ma'am. Eat a little but often. "

The doctor handed the medicine that had been wrapped in plastic clips to me.

"How much does it cost, Doc?" ask me while receiving the medicine.

"Rp. 250,000, ma'am" replied the doctor straightforwardly

I handed the doctor some money and resigned. The doctor advised us, me and my fetus to be healthy until the time of birth.

I came out of the examination room with a smile. Now I understand the feelings of that woman named Aninda.

I went to the salon to cut my hair. I decided to cut my long hair considering Surabaya which is always scorching during the day. From the salon I plan to stop by the convenience store to buy milk specifically pregnant women. The money from savings, my mother's gifts, and the results of the home contract are still very much left.

I came out of the salon with a shaggy bob cut model with a shoulder length. The salon feels good when cutting my well-groomed hair. In a row of salons there was a retail store and I stopped by as I planned.

Wulan rode her bike back home feeling light and happy. She didn't expect that seeing her baby candidate from the USG machine made her feel this happy. Wulan also felt guilty once almost killed an innocent creature that was growing in his womb. Wulan could not wait to see how Bune and Pakne would react if he saw the results of the USG photos he brought.
