Muara Kasih Single Mother
24 Weeks!
After a few days passed, now Pandu invites Ervita to re-examine the content. Although, actually Ervita is a little tired because today there are so many batik orders online that come. However, to be able to see the growth and development of the fetus, Ervita also wants to check the content.
"Your face is so cute?"
Ervita, who was now sitting next to her husband, nodded her head slowly. "That's right, Mas. Earlier, the online order for our batik is very much. Alhamdulillah, rejekanya the baby well," replied Ervita.
Pandu moved his hand slowly and rubbed the top of Ervita's head. "How much? Until you look so exhausted like gini," he replied.
"Lumayan sih Mas. He said he wanted to be sold again outside the island of Java, there are still people who buy family uniforms. Already want to fast, many who have work to marry their children, huh Mas? Usually, if the wedding season, many buy batik," replied Ervita.
This is not an exact science of economics. However, for several years working in Kiosk Batik, Ervita noticed when the wedding season arrived, usually orders for batik cloth, batik shirt, and kebaya became increased.
"Have you memorized Nda?" ask Pandu.
"Yes, it has been several years of work in batik, so you can observe" he replied.
After that, the car driven by Pandu also arrived at the Special Hospital for Mother and Child. The two lined up first. When waiting in line, Ervita looks tired and her eyes feel heavy, sleepy feel.
"Totally stupid huh? Later after checking, immediately go home and bobbing in the car can be," said Pandu.
"Hmm, yes. Maybe my content is increasing in months, it becomes easily tired and also sleepy," he replied.
More than half an hour both waited and now both are welcome to enter the room of Doctor Arsy to do the examination and also consultation.
"Good night" said Doctor Arsy kindly.
"Yes, Doctor ... night," replied Ervita and Pandu together.
"We do the examination for USG first, and then proceed with consultation. So, Ms. Ervita please lie down well" said Dr. Arsy.
As usual, it was Pandu himself who helped Ervita to climb the gurney and then there was a nurse who slightly lifted the pregnant shirt Ervita wore. The USG Gell is then applied to the surface of Ervita's skin. On one hand, Doctor Arsy is already preparing with the transducer in his hand. Slowly, Doctor Arsy moves the transducer over the surface of Ervita's abdomen.
"OK, well .. Now Ms. Ervita's gestational age is 24 weeks. It's more than half way through, ma'am. The gestation period is 40 weeks, and the mother has exceeded more than half. Now we measure the baby's heartbeat first."
"Mother Ervita's heart beats between 120 - 160 beats per minute. Not only the heart, but as a large system of vital organs the baby also began to function yes Ma'am," explained Dr. Arsy to Ervita and Pandu.
Then Dr. Arsy again moved the transducer and took measurements of the length and approximate weight of the baby. "The length of the baby from the head to the heel is approximately 30 centimeters, and weighs about 0.59 kilograms. Well, the weight is obtained from the growth of organs, bones, muscles, and the accumulation of baby fat. Then, I showed her the baby face. At the age of 24 weeks this part of the face is almost perfect. It's his eyes, nose, lips, and if you want to know even now eyelashes, eyebrows, and hair have grown."
Listening to the explanation from Doctor Arsy makes Pandu and Ervita feel satisfied because they get a detailed explanation. This is not the first pregnancy for Ervita. However, he listened to how Dr. Arsy explained the feeling of also getting new knowledge and knowledge.
"Mom and Dad still don't want to see the sex of the baby?" ask Doctor Arsy.
Then Pandu and Ervita both nodded their heads. "Yes, later if you're in labor. Let's surprise his parents and extended family" Ervita replied.
"Allah ... Mom and Dad love surprises. So, as long as the baby is healthy, and the mother is healthy, is that enough?" asked Doctor Arsy with a slow chuckle.
"Yes Doctor," replied Ervita.
End the examination session using USG, then they proceed with consultation. "For this month there have been no complaints Miss Ervita?" ask Doctor Arsy.
"These few days the fingers and wrists are tingling, Doc" he said.
Doctor Arsy nodded his head and gave an answer. "Tightness, especially in the fingers and wrists, is a common condition for pregnancy, Ervita said. This is because the nerves are depressed due to fluid buildup. To overcome this, you can avoid sleeping with your hands, and also stretch in the hand area," explained Dr. Arsy.
"Well Doc," replied Ervita.
Dr. Arsy then handed over the photo of the USG results to Ervita and Pandu. In addition, the Doctor prescribes in the form of Folic Acid and Calcium which must be consumed by Ervita every day.
"Is there anything you want to ask?" ask Doctor Arsy.
"It's been, obviously, Doc," Ervita replied.
"Alright, another checkup in one month's time ma'am... healthy always, and hopefully everything goes well."
After the examination, the two are now waiting in line at the pharmacy and several times Ervita has evaporated. So sleepy it feels. Pandu who saw his wife was tired also felt sorry. It is true that her brother said a few days ago, that the pregnant woman was in desperate need of her husband. The guide who saw Ervita himself, it felt pity. His wife looked tired and sleepy, but Ervita still had to be patient because a few minutes later she would arrive at her house.
