Quarter Century Duda
Geriatric Pregnancy

"Goddessa ...."

Tendean's father really did not think that he and Dianti were trusted by God to have offspring again. After her daughter Anaya, she was 26 years old. Family already. Now, when just one month of marriage, Mother Dianti is actually positive two lines, meaning that his wife is pregnant now.

"I still can't believe it" replied Mother Dianti who was still crying, teary-eyed.

Initially Mother Dianti thought that most likely she would not be able to get pregnant. Given his age of 47 years. Moreover, the shadow of menopause was already peering before the eyes. So, it is not imagined if she is pregnant now.

"Have not cried ..would not believe, but this is the truth. We are grateful and take good care of it" replied Tendean's father.

"How do you feel about Dean?" ask Mother Dianti now.

"Yes, happy and grateful. There was a sense of surprise since I was already the head of five. It became Opa. My son will be my grandson's age" Tendean's father replied with a smile.

It does not feel like believing. I am 53 years old too. She has three grandchildren, Citra, Charel, and Charla. So, when the child is born, it is certainly the same age as his own grandson.

"Yes, already .. yuk, to the room. Gonna carry?" bargain Dad Tendean.

"No, I can walk on my own. I am healthy, do not say anything," replied Mother Dianti.

However, Tendean's father put his hand on his wife's waist, leading her to return to the room. In fact, slowly Tendean's father helped his wife to sit on the bed. Bring water first, so that his wife can drink.

"Diminum first," said Tendean's father.

"Thank you, Dean."

Mother Dianti drank the water, then put the glass on the edge of the nightstand. Then, Tendean's father sat on the edge of the bed. His hand wiped the remains of tears on his wife's face.

"When do you want to check?" ask Daddy Tendean.

"Faster is better, given my age. Is old. So that it can be handled well too," replied Mother Dianti.

"Well, will you be in the afternoon?" bargained for.

"Yes, can. I've read pregnancy in old age is risky, Mas. I hope I'm not too," he replied.

"Yes, hopefully ... want to go to the Obstetrician Anaya first or change Doctor?" ask Tendean's father to his wife.

"Who was Anaya's doctor?" ask Mother Dianti again.

"He's the best doctor in Jakarta. Patience and explanation are also detailed. However, she is the twin sister of her late biological Mother Anaya, her name is Indri. Doctor Indri," explained Tendean's father.

At least Dad Tendean also tell everything first that there is a good Obstetrician, once helped Anaya to arrive at labor, only she is the twin sister of Mother Anaya.

"It's okay, Mom. I don't really have a problem. After all, the late mother of Anaya's mother was long gone. Now Anaya juge calls me Mother. It's okay," replied Mother Dianti.

"Well .. I'll make a reservation first thing in the afternoon. Get ready well, later in the afternoon I'll pick you up and we'll go to the Obstetrician together."

Now, it still feels funny with their middle age. However, if it is lived and will eventually get used to it as well. Just have to adapt to new habits.

Afternoon ....

Now Tendean's father really took Bunda Dianti to the Hospital, and has also registered for an examination this afternoon with Indi. When it comes to Gynecological Poly is a middle-aged couple, then some young couples who are there are wondering.

"Who came here as Anaya yes, Mas .. we are the oldest," whispered Mother Dianti with a soft look to her husband.

"Yes, it's okay, Mother. It's in our interest to check," replied Tendean's father.

Waiting for approximately half an hour, then the name of Mother Dianti called. Both of them entered the room of Dr. Indri. Seeing who came was Doctor Tendean and his wife, Doctor Indri was surprised.

"Loh, Doctor Tendean well?" ask Dr. Indri.

"Yes, right ... we came to check," replied Doctor Tendean.

Actually Doctor Indri also not so surprised, because the first Doctor Indri also came when Doctor Tendean married. Just to congratulate.

"Is there any good news?" ask Dr. Indri.

"Hm, this morning I did a testpack and the results were positive," replied Mother Dianti.

"Well, I'll check first, because it's still early, we check by using transvaginal USG well, ma'am ...."

"No pain?" ask Mother Dianti later.

"No really .. precisely with this type of ultrasound can see the entire uterus and fetal condition," replied Dr. Indri.

Finally, with the help of nurses, the condition of the uterus of Mother Dianti will be seen first, then part of the Transvaginal Ultrasound is given Gell, then inserted into the birth canal belonging to Mother Dianti.

"Hold your breath .. don't think strangely, and I'll check well," instructions from Dr. Indri.

Then Mother Dianti and Father Tendean are welcome to look at the monitor screen. Then seen the condition of the fetus in the womb of Mother Dianti.

"His wedding was almost two months, right?" ask Dr. Indri.

"Yes, right Doctor," replied Mother Dianti.

"Yes, the results are really positive. This small moving circle was her fetus. With 6 weeks of pregnancy. Still small, so later I will give fetal strengthening well, because given the age of the mother," said Dr. Indri.

After being examined, they went on to a consultation session. Doctor Indri was happy. Age is not a barrier to add baby.

"So, my wife's womb is at risk not Doctor?" ask Doctor Tendean.

"Given the current age of 47 years, this is called a Geriatric pregnancy, in which women become pregnant at the age of more than 40 years. Given the age, the labor process that I recommend later is Caesar, and also must be more maintain body fitness," replied Dr. Indri.

Heard what Dr. Indri had just said. Mother Dianti nodded her head. Of course it will be more self-preservation and fitness later. Hopefully, everything will be fine.
