Aksara For Arsyilla
38 Weeks!

“Kak, later in the afternoon you come home from the office what time?” arsyilla asked her husband, who was about to go to the office.

Hearing the question from his wife, Aksara turned back and looked at his wife's face. “You are so funny the hell Honey .. I leave not yet, you have asked when I came home. Why why?” ask Aksara to his wife.

Arsyilla's face smiled wide. It sounded funny, her husband was still at home and not yet gone, but Arsyilla had asked her when she was going home.

“No, just ask,” reply.

“What's Honey? Is there anything you need? Want to drop something maybe?” ask Aksara to his wife.

Aksara asked maybe there was something that Arsyilla needed or there was food that Arsyilla wanted. After all, several times when it was time to go home from work, Arsyilla also often called and sent messages to give him some food and snacks that he wanted. As a good husband, Aksara also always brought what was ordered by his wife. There are times when Arsyilla mintip to buy Cimol, Banana Caramel, Toppoki, and various other snacks that his wife wants to eat it.

“No Kak .. tuh forgot right, later we will have to check the pregnancy again Sis. Ahead of labor right now every week must check the condition of Baby Dedek,” said Arsyilla reminded her husband.

“Yes, until I forget, Honey .. yes already, I will return sooner from the office. You're ready. The clock is usually right?” ask Aksara to his wife.

“Yes, hours usually. So, later in the afternoon, sister,” take Arsyilla to her husband.

Aksara nodded his head, then hugged his wife's body with the increasingly bulging stomach. “Iya, later in the afternoon we see again the condition of Dedek Baby,” reply Aksara.

“Ya already ... I work first well,” said Aksara. After that, Aksara slightly lowered her head, the man peeked at Arsyilla's heavily protruding stomach, peeping at her affectionately. “Princessnya Dad .. Dad work first well. Well at home with Mother,” pampitnya to Dedek Baby which is from the results of the female gender USG.

Each time Aksara say goodbye and pee his increasingly bulging stomach, Arsyilla felt overwhelmed. It was a form of concern for a father to his baby who was still in his stomach.

“Iya Father .. be careful well,” said Arsyilla while smiling and waving her hand to her husband.

Afternoon …

Just as Aksara had promised his wife that he would come home from the office faster. Now, the man was at home, to pick up his wife, and then headed to the Hospital to recheck the condition of the fetus in his wife's womb. Before delivery, Dr. Rinta instructed that the examination be faster, once a week. For that, Aksara and Arsyilla must also prepare. At least they can both monitor the condition of the fetus in the womb Arsyilla until the deadline to give birth later.

“Aready, Honey?” ask Aksara to his wife.

“Already dong Dad ... let Daddy not last wait for me,” reply Arsyilla while smiling looking at her husband's face.

“You're tired, aren't you brother? Sorry well, had to go back and forth .. you should be able to rest, now have to go back and forth between me to the Hospital,” said Arsyilla.

At least Arsyilla knew very well that her husband was also exhausted after working all day. However, Aksara also never complained that he was tired. Aksara actually looks so sincere to bring Arsyilla.

“Make you and Baby Dedek, I'm not so tired Honey. Relax,” reply Aksara.

 Afterwards Aksara immediately brought Arsyilla to enter his car. At a moderate speed, Aksara drove his car. Tracing the streets in the capital that afternoon, until finally now both have arrived at the Hospital.

Just like the other patients, this time Aksara and Arsyilla had to wait in line for a while. Waiting until Arsyilla's name is called by the nurse. Because the pregnancy has also been growing, sometimes Arsyilla leaned her shoulders on the chair, sometimes rubbed her stomach, and was heard to walk, because indeed with the increase of the moon, it feels so engrossed, and want to move is also difficult. Arsyilla did not complain at all. He will go through everything slowly and wait until the delivery period arrives.

Almost half an hour waiting, Arsyilla's name was called by a nurse.

“Please Bu Arsyilla,” call a nurse who invites Arsyilla to enter the examination room.

“Sore Bu Arsyilla, so often meet me well,” reply Doctor Rinta while laughing. Indeed, before the delivery period and the frequent time of examination makes them often meet and consult.

“Is there a constraint Bu Arsyilla?” ask Dr. Rinta to Arsyilla.

“What obstacles do Doc ... just more stuffy just Doc... want to tilt to the right is difficult, tilted to the left is difficult, and also more urination, Dok,” replied Arsyilla who seemed to tell her her current condition.

“Sabar ya Bu .. if in accordance with the Estimated Birth Day (HPL) just wait two more weeks. So lived with gratitude,” response Doctor Rinta.

After a little talk, then Doctor Rinta invited Arsyilla to go up to the top of the gurney and began to check with the USG first.

“Pregnancy of Ms. Arsyilla is now entering 38 Weeks. That means the day of labor is getting closer. During pregnancy, the weight gain of Bu Arsyilla up to 12 kilograms. Quite a lot, it's just still normal,” explained Doctor Rinta.

Slowly Arsyilla nodded her head and laughed a little, “Iya Dok .. a lot ya Doc, up to 12 kilograms?” tanyakanya.

“Still normal Kok Bu .. because there are those who experience weight gain up to 20 Kilograms. So, this can be said to be normal,” replied Doctor Rinta.

After that, Doctor Rinta prepared with a transducer in his hand that was ready to move on the surface of Arsyilla's stomach.

“Well, after pregnancy already 38 weeks yes Ma'am. Here it is seen if the baby's space in here begins to decrease because in her womb the baby also continues to move. Now we measure the length of the baby, from head to foot, about 49 centimeters in length. Now we measure her weight, well, it turns out to be quite big baby yes Mom. Already 3 kilograms.” explanation from Doctor Rinta by moving the transducer in his hand.

“Baby position and placenta how is Doc?” asked Arsyilla this time because she remembered the message from Mama Khaira to ask about the position of the baby and the position of the placenta.

Start Doctor Rinta again moves the transducer in his hand to see the position of the baby and the location of the placenta. “Baby position is good yes Bu Arsyilla .. can Mom and Dad see on the monitor that the baby's head has entered the pelvis. In addition, the placenta also does not block the birth canal, or commonly called placenta previa. So anyway, if you want to give birth normally it can,” explained Dr. Rinta.

As Dr. Rinta explained, Aksara and Arsyilla both focus on looking at the monitor. Both are also grateful for the location of the placenta that does not cover the birth canal.

“Bu Arsyilla wants to give birth normally or Caesar?” ask Dr. Rinta this time to Arsyilla.

“Sick Yes Doc?” ask Arsyilla.

Hearing Arsyilla's question, Dr. Rinta smiled, “Birth must be a pain Ms.... It's just that pain that gives great happiness. So, I explained if Ms. Arsyilla would give birth normally, now many streets, doing squatting and standing activities, also doing husband and wife relations. It's just avoid to provide resistance in the chest area,” explained Dr. Rinta.

“Iya Doc,” Arsyilla replied briefly.

“If giving birth by Caesar, next week Mother can give birth to her baby. Remember Mom, normal or Caesar is just a maternity method. Everything is the perfect Mother, so please do not distinguish between Caesarean and Normal childbirth. The struggle is the same,” explained Doctor Rinta this time.

“True Doc .. I agree,” reply Arsyilla.

“So want to give birth normally or Caesar Bu?” ask Dr. Rinta to Arsyilla.

“Euhm, maybe I can try to give birth normally first, Doc,” replied Arsyilla.

“Good Miss Arsyilla. Next week if we do another check, we'll do a deep check to see if there's been an opening. The rest maintain sleep patterns and eating patterns. The baby's weight is already 3 kilograms, so reduce sugar intake,” explained Dr. Rinta to Arsyilla.

It feels like a thrilling day. It's just that Arsyilla wants to continue through the period of pregnancy that is only a few weeks away with gratitude. After all, he did not himself have a character who was also loyal to him.
