Halal Love of the Senior
Conduct Checkups

"A—ku," Adelia had not yet finished her words there was a mother who interrupted them.

"Toilet's not for dating, Mom, Ma'am. Get out, I want to wear it" said a middle-aged woman standing in front of the toilet.

"Yes, Mom. Sorry." Adi led his wife out of the toilet.

The middle-aged woman was staring at them with a cynical look. "It looks good, but it's both in the toilet. Must have done nothing," he said.

Feeling unacceptable, Adi turned to face the person. "I'm sorry, Mom, we're husband and wife. I took my wife to get urine. My wife was limp and had fainted, so I checked into fear she fainted again" he explained.

"Oh so," said the woman without guilt.

"Don't like to be prejudiced, Mom, if you don't know the truth" continued Adi who only got a sneer from the mother.

"Mas, already. Come back to the IGD again." Adelia tightened her grip on the husband. Ask not to serve again the speech of the spicy-mouthed woman.

Adi immediately obeyed his wife for fear Adelia returned limp if too long standing. Patiently he guided the soulmate to walk slowly. Following the rhythm of Adelia's steps that have not been able to move quickly as usual.

Once in the IGD room, Adelia sat on the bed. Small sweat dots are visible on the forehead that is not covered with hijab.

"Achieve, Ai?"

"No, just a little limp, Mom." Adelia rubbed the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand.

"If so, Ai, just lie down." After Adelia nodded, Adi helped her wife lie down.

"Where are the test results, Mas?" ask Rendra who is still standing there.

"Eh, yes, I forgot because there were mothers in the toilet before." Adi told the incident not to wear it to the sister-in-law.

"It's common for people like that, Mom. Likes to comment on the lives of others when not necessarily his life is also right," said Rendra.

"Yes, Rend. If not for fear of Adel suffocating again, I'm the rabbit."

"Udah do not need to be remembered, Mas," said Adelia. "Where was the testpack, Mas?" ask him to divert the conversation.

"Eh, yes. I put where ya was." Adi reached out one by one pocket in his shirt and pants. In a hurry he forgot to put it where. Just insert it when you want to get out of the toilet.

"Ai, there is nothing in all my pockets" said Adi with a frown.

"Well, Mas, try to check again" said Adelia.

Adi again obeyed the wife, one by one all the contents in his pocket were removed, but the testpack was not found there.

"Try in Adel's bag, Mas," suggested Rendra while pointing to the sling bag Adelia was carrying.

"Astaghfirullah, yes, Rend. I put it here." Adi immediately looked into the bag. "Alhamdulillah meet," he exclaimed while showing the testpack that had been given by his wife in the toilet.

"Here, Rend." Adi handed the testpack to Dita's husband.

Rendra. She smiled a lot after reading the results. "Thank God, congratulations, Mas, Adel, you will be parents" he said.

"Seriously, Rend?" ask Adi who got the nod from Rendra. He then turned to look at his wife. "Right, Ai, pregnant?"

Adelia smiled sweetly. "God willing yes, Mom."

"Alhamdulillah. Thank you, Oh God." Adi immediately made a prostration of gratitude on the spot. After that, he cleaned his hands and forehead with a wet tissue. He then approached Adelia. "Thank you, Ai" he said, kissing the mother-to-be's hand.

"I'll take this to the doctor first. Wait, Ai. Rend, leave my wife for a minute," she said.

"Congratulations, Del. May your pregnancy be smooth and healthy until delivery." Rendra congratulated her best friend when they were both.

"Aamiinu. Thanks, Ren," Adelia replied as she stroked her flat stomach.

Shortly after Adi returned, Rendra then quit IGD because only one person was allowed to wait for patients. He sat outside the IGD with the other introductory people. Take the notebook out of his backpack to work on the design. He had deliberately brought a notebook to keep working while waiting for Adi and Adelia.

After the lab results came out, the doctor returned to Adelia's bed.

"Night, Sir, Mom. Thankfully, the lab results are out. Congratulations on the pregnancy, Mother" said the doctor.

"Thank you, thank you, Doc" said Adelia with a beaming face.

"Later to make an introduction to check with the obstetrician. I suggest you do a complete blood check in the lab or hospital. It's up to you to be anywhere. Anticipate if you have anemia so it can be treated early so as not to interfere with the pregnancy," the doctor advises.

"The lab result was Hb 11, slightly below normal which should be at least 12. I'll give you vitamins to drink. Later if you have checked with the obstetrician and get vitamins from there, from here it is stopped. Or can be consulted with his doctor yes, Mom," continued the doctor.

"Symptoms of anemia are often present in pregnant women, so you do not need to worry. With regular checkups and early detection, God willing, her pregnancy will not be a problem." The doctor encouraged Adelia.

"Thank you, Doc."

"I call Rendra yes to accompany Ai here," said Adi.

"Yes, Mum."

After calling his sister-in-law, Adi took care of the administration of the wife. Actually Rendra offered to take care of it, but she refused. Because Rendra will definitely pay the hospital bills with his own money. As before when buying a testpack, Adi money is returned intact in the plastic bag wrapper.

After the administration was done and Adelia got her vitamins, they went home almost midnight. Dita and Ale had already fallen asleep by the time they got home. They then immediately rested.

The next day, Adelia was ushered into one of the laboratories located in Kotabaru by Adi—, who that day did not work permission to accompany his wife to check her blood and check her womb. In addition to a complete blood check, Adelia also all check blood sugar, cholesterol, and others, anticipating if asked to check again so as not to go back and forth. Despite having to fast first, Adi's wife's condition is better than last night. Still a little weak but no longer feel dizzy.

After undergoing a series of blood draws, they returned home. Lab results will be sent via email and WhatsApp messages. Technological advances made them not have to come to the lab anymore to pick up the results. All-round online and paperless, reducing paper usage.

In the afternoon they both visit Lita's doctor with an introduction from IGD and lab results.

"Congratulations, ma'am, on her pregnancy back. Thank God God for giving the trust again quickly," said doctor Lita with a friendly smile after reading the introduction from IGD.

"Thank you, Doc."

"We're using transvaginal USG yes, ma'am, let's be clear. Moreover, Ms. Adelia has a history of KET. So, if there is a problem can be quickly handled."

"I'm up to it, Doc, which is best for my wife and child" Adi said.

"What, Miss Adelia, did you urinate before you came in?" ask doctor Lita.

Adelia nodded. "Already, Doc."

"Well, then we can go straight to the USG."

"Sorry, Ms. Adelia, can be removed first leging and underwear," said the nurse who accompanied the doctor Lita.

Adelia did as the nurse asked. After that he sat down in the check chair. Both of his legs were raised, resting on a buffer. After making sure the position is right, doctor Lita began inserting the stick USG into Adelia's intimate organs.

"Alhamdulillah, the condition is good all," said doctor Lita after doing USG and print the results. He returned to his chair while writing notes on Adelia's check sheet.

"Yes, Doc, this is my wife's lab this morning." Adi hands her salary to Lita's doctor. "Yesterday the doctor advised Adelia to have a complete blood check because her Hb was below normal."

Doctor Lita received the device and saw the results. "May I send you an email, sir. To be more clear and able to document here," he asked while giving his email address.

"All right, Doc."

After putting her clothes back on, Adelia joins her husband and the obstetrician. "Dok, yesterday I was given this vitamin from the hospital." He took the vitamins out of his bag.

"Oh, this is an iron supplement. Continued consumption is okay, ma'am. I will add another vitamin. Any complaints other than weakness, dizziness, and fainting no, ma'am?"

"Nothing so far, Doc."

"From the lab results did show symptoms of anemia in Bu Adelia. However, you do not need to worry as long as you want to be disciplined to ensure the adequacy of iron from food and blood-boosting supplements, God willing, everything will be fine."

"Mother should also have regular blood checks including checking her Hb levels. Ideally twice, during the first examination and when entering the third trimester. Blood sugar and other good results. Stay controlled intake of incoming food not to consume too much sweet food."

"Supplements from IGD are spent, ma'am. Later I will give it again for blood enhancers and folic acid. Need me to give you a cure for nausea no, ma'am?"

"The old medicine is still there, Doc. I don't think nausea is necessary" Adelia replied.

"All right then. In this pregnancy should be more careful yes, ma'am, because have experienced KET coupled with symptoms of anemia. If there is anything else, just check it out. Don't have to wait for the next control schedule" doctor Lita said.

"Yes, Doc."

"Mothers and mothers will be able to find any food that contains a lot of iron. Because Bu Adelia must eat a lot of foods with high iron content. Keep me also message with Ms. Adelia, never hide the situation of Mother, especially to the family. I mean like this, for example, Mom felt weak, but was detained and did not tell her family members. Then mom suddenly fainted while at home there was no one, it would be more dangerous, Mom."

"If you feel weak or dizzy just say it. At least there are people who control the condition of the mother while the mother can also rest until she feels healthy again. Do not force yourself to do work that is if heavy. Now, Mother, it must not be selfish to think only of yourself. There is a mother-to-be who should also think about her needs and health" long advice doctor Lita.

"Yes, Doc. I did hide my situation to my husband because he did not want to worry." Adelia made a confession.

"I know, Ms. Adelia, has good intentions. However, I'm sure you'll feel more pain when you find out you're not being honest."

"Yes, Doc. I know I was wrong. I won't do it again" Adelia promised.

Doctor Lita smiled widely. "We take the silver lining from yesterday, Mom," he said wisely.

"Now whatever you feel should say to your father or another family member. This is for the sake of the mother and the growing fetus in the womb."

Adelia nodded. "Yes, Doc."
