The Struggle to Drain Tears

I don't know if a few hours have passed. Even now it was night, but it felt like Ervita was still feeling tremendous pain. When people say that giving birth to a second child will be faster, it is now night and Ervita is still waiting until the opening process is complete. Even the first two hours, there was no addition of opening. Though Ervita himself had felt so much pain in his stomach and groin, but the opening still has not increased.

When the pain from the contraction came, Ervita cried because it hurt so much. It feels strange, in the past when giving birth to Indi alone it just did not feel all this time. Now it was night and the new opening came to the number seven.

"Want to eat or drink first, Nda? Since then you have not eaten or drank tablets, Nda," said Pandu.

Pandu is so attentive to Ervita, even to eat and drink only Pandu so considerate. Although Pandu himself is also very worried about Ervita's condition now. True to the advice of his mother that when accompanying the maternity wife must be patient and also strong. Accompanying and strengthening a wife in pain is really not easy.

"Mas Pandu, if there is anything, I'm sorry, Mas" Ervita said now with tears in his eyes.

It was all because Ervita felt such excruciating pain. Pressure in the perineum, intestine, and bladder as if squeezed to reach the area of Ervita's stomach. Pain that feels like squeezing, soreness, and also cramps in the stomach area, groin, to the waist. Really, it was a very painful pain, a pain that spread all over his body. Each time the contraction came, Ervita could only sob in her cries.

"Don't say anything weird, Dinda. We will welcome his sister Indi together" Pandu replied.

Honestly listening to Ervita's voice wrapped in her tears that continued to decompose made Pandu so destroyed. He didn't want Ervita to be in pain and his mental state to decline like this. For that, this is where Pandu who tries to strengthen Ervita.

The woman was crying. The pain and also combined with the infusion needle attached to his hand made the pain he felt even more. That's what makes Ervita sometimes feel inadequate. Because this pain is so dominating.

Up to the limit Ervita sobbed by holding the stomach. This time the contraction hit really hurt more. The part of his stomach under the navel felt tight and also his waist was so painful. Not to mention there is a feeling of wanting to push because it already wants to take out the baby.

"Mas Pandu. Well, my stomach is up to date gini. Hiks .. is it time for delivery?" ervita asked still with tears in her eyes.

"Hold it, honey. Come on, just remember that you can't push before your time. I'll call the nurse first, yeah" Pandu replied.

Nervous actually Pandu can press the bell on the patient's gurney, but the man actually ran out. Because, Pandu himself is also nervous and panicked. So, sometimes his thoughts and actions are out of tune.

"Suster, my wife's stomach is tight. Maybe the opening is complete" said Pandu.

"So actually you can press the bell on the patient's gurney, sir," the nurse replied there.

"Ah, yes well .. I was too panicked," I Pandu who was very panicked.

Finally Pandu and the nurse there who was the midwife went into the room to check on Ervita's condition first. Coincidentally there was also Doctor Arsy who came so that the Doctor also entered the patient's room.

As soon as he entered, Ervita was seen whimpering in pain. His face was completely flushed and his eyes were so puffy. His long hair looked untidy as his head shook to the right and left onto the pillow.

"How's Ms Ervita?" asked Doctor Arsy so gently.

"It hurts so much, Doctor," replied Ervita who was still crying there.

Now, Pandu positioned himself to sit next to the gurney and his hands tightly grasped Ervita's hands. Can palanquin it like his wife's hand that seemed to squeeze his hand so tightly. It was Ervita's taste to share the pain with her husband.

"We're doing the check in again yeah," said Dr. Arsy.

Just like before, Doctor Arsy instructed Ervita to open both of her thighs. Hold your breath and do not strain because you will again do a deep check to see how the centimeter of the birth canal has opened. Using medical gloves, Dr. Arsy was prepared to do a check inside there. This time not entered, just touched.

There the nurse prepared with all the medical equipment. Then Doctor Arsy gave another instruction to Ervita.

"Bu Ervi, later if the stomach feels tight and there is a sense of wanting to push, immediately take a deep breath, and push all the energy to the stomach yes, Mom. However, the pelvis should not be lifted. Because, if lifted later can be torn. If there has been no contraction of the baby, do not push because it can tear the birth canal," instructions from Dr. Arsy.

Ervita nodded her head. He recalled that when she gave birth to Indi, she was accompanied by a doctor and assisted by a nurse. Even the one she held her hand with back then was a nurse. Now, Ervita stared at Pandu, and she clasped her husband's hand so tightly. Pandu changed position, the man sat on the edge of the gurney and rested Ervita's head on his thigh. With a hand that tightly grasped Ervita's hand there.

Now, Ervita can feel her tight stomach and there is a desire to push, pull out the baby. Therefore, Ervita immediately prepared herself. She immediately held tightly to her husband's arm. Likewise with Pandu who prepares himself, accompanying the wife through the process for the process to welcome her baby. Pandu tried hard, although in fact his own heart was powerless and could not bear with the pain that Ervita was experiencing now.

"Hhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The first tease and the baby still hasn't come out. Ervita shed tears. All the power and effort he had put in, but apparently he still had to fight.

"Spirit, Nda .. I'm sure. You certainly can," replied Pandu who became the sole encouragement for his wife.

"Rest first Ms. Ervi, later if the stomach feels tight, take strong breaths, and push around the pelvis. His head is already visible Mom, so it will soon come out" said Dr. Arsy. This is a word of encouragement from Doctor Arsy, so that Ervita is not discouraged.

"It hurts so bad, Mom," Ervita's sobs are dominating now.

"Can, Dinda .. can, I'm sure. We can, Nda," replied Pandu whose hand while rubbing Ervita's head.

Oh my God, Pandu felt his heart break at that very moment. The great woman was now sobbing in tears. Complaining sick.

Up to the limit of Ervita's stomach felt strengthened, the wave of contractions again came, and now Ervita tried to take a deep breath. She pushed with all her might, and pushed her body forward to give birth to her baby. Some taunts, and finally ....

"Huhh ... Mas ... Mas Pandu's!

Screeches accompanied by shouts like ending the struggle Ervita now. With the sound of the baby's voice that filled the entire contents of the maternity room.

This time Pandu was really crying. This man saw with his own eyes how the baby came out, born from down there. Pandu can even see, the baby looks the whitest, among the blood coming out of the cervix. Incredible escorting a maternity wife.

"Our baby is born, Dinda" said Pandu in tears.

The first time she listened to the sobbing from her baby, Pandu could feel her body stiffening, her heart beating so fast, and there was also a sense of haru when it could pass this moment.

Oek ... Oek ... Oek ...

"Congratulations Mr. Pandu and Ms. Ervi, the baby girl," said Dr. Arsy.

Not disappointed, Pandu is happy. He managed to realize his dream of becoming a Sultan in a house surrounded with beautiful women at home.

"His sister Didi chick .. funny," replied Pandu.

"Yes Mas" Ervita replied with a teary laugh.
