Lembayung Dusk
Qurrota A'yun Safiyah Abdullah
Twilight
"This has entered the 36th week yes ma'am. but the position of the baby breech.. " Reveal Dr. Anna, while moving the transducer in my wife's stomach.
My wife was aghast, "Can Ko doc? first pregnancy, no..? " She asked me, and I immediately clasped her hand.
"The cause of breech babies is not yet known for sure ma'am.. But there are several factors that can be the reason this condition occurs. One of them is the volume of amniotic fluid that is too much or too little. "
"Keep doc.. What should I do? " Task my wife again a little frantic and her net is staring at the fixed monitor screen.
"So if I see, this position is called footling breech.sungsang with the position of one of the baby's legs located under the buttocks. During the labor process later.the legs are the first to come out before the baby's body."
"Actually, there are ways that can be done to lower the baby's head towards the birth canal naturally.... If the method does not work, medical measures can be done to improve the position of the fetus, the position of the fetus, external cephalic version (ECV)..."
"What is doc? " Let's be curious.
"ECV is done by rotating the position of the baby in the womb through massage or emphasis on the surface of the abdomen of pregnant women.If it turns out that the ECV method is not successful, the delivery process will be carried out by cesarean section. "
Deg.
I was stunned to hear Anna's words.
"But doc. I want to give birth normally.. " My wife complained while looking at me.
"Cesarean section is the safest step if ECV should not be done because the fetus is still in a breech position when approaching birth time... Breech baby position does carry quite a lot of risks, both for the baby itself and the mother. "
I see, my wife's eyes are glazed.
"Don't be discouraged ma'am. This method is more natural, easy and safe for pregnant women to do..When doing so, the mother must breathe deeply and slowly so that there is no muscle tension or contraction. No need too often, you can do it three times a day.."
"Thank you for the info doc... " I'm feeling a little calm.
"A lot of walking is also good ma'am. 30 minutes is enough, if still strong swimming can also be, or pregnant yoga.. "
"My wife is lazy for yoga dok. pregnancy now prefers to walk.. "
"Oh yeah? in shaa Allah.ikhtiar first yes ma'am.. " Said doctor Anna motivates.
"Aamiin O Allah. Thank you very much doc.. "
After saying goodbye, my wife and I left the room.
"Honey. don't be sad. later our child is also sad.in shea Allah everything is gonna be ok.. Uhmm? " I clasped his hand as usual to strengthen.
"Butie.. "
"We do a lot, baby.. "
He nodded and smiled and leaned his head.
I hope all is well, my wife.

"How sir? it's been more than 20 hours, but Lembayung's mother still has no signs of giving birth.. " Light doctor Anna, when we were in the delivery room.
"But doc.. "
"The wife of the father is experiencing slow progress in the face of labor, the trigger could be from stress lately. In addition, a thinned cervix will make the mother's energy drained out, and a caesarean section will be the only option. "
"The position of the baby is actually Alhamdulillah already not breech, but now experiencing fetal distress.Conditions in which the baby has a lack of oxygen or asphyxia is born. The baby's heart rate is abnormal and fetal movement is less active due to the presence of foreign substances in the amniotic fluid."
"Well doc then.please help and do my best for my wife and daughter doc.. "
Anna's doctor immediately informed the assistants, and they swiftly prepared everything quickly.
"Iang.. all will be well. a lot of do'a. dhikr and shalawat !" I kissed my wife's head, she was sobbing and crying.
Feeling how painful the contractions were, it was also sad to know that she had to have a cesarean section to give birth to our child.
"I-I don't know what to say. hiks.. I resigned. I don't feel strong anymore.. "
"Darling.don't say that.I'm sure you're strong.. " It's comforting to see him cry.
"I'm sorry Twilight.if I haven't been a good wife to you.. "
"You said what, baby, you're the best and perfect for me and Dew.. "
"Sakiiii... " His complain again, while rubbing his stomach.
"Honey. good there yaa. help umma. good boy.. son shalihah. "I kissed my wife's stomach and whispered do'a.

I'm stunned.
My wife is on blood tests. He said he had a blood test, so the doctor could find out his hemoglobin level and blood type, and blood type tests needed to be done to prepare for transfusions if needed.
Before the operation begins, he is anesthetized with epidural anesthesia so that the stomach area down will be numb. During the caesarean section, my wife will be conscious.
I really feel like I'm dreaming..
Whether giving birth normally or caesarean, both of them really make my heart throb pain.See the struggle, I really feel small as a husband.
My mother and I, and others, waited outside the operating room anxiously. I was not allowed to enter to accompany my wife in surgery for reasons to keep the room sterile.
After about 50 minutes of surgery, Anna's doctor came out of the room,
"Congratulations sir.... Thank God the baby was born, the second daughter again... "
"Alhamdulillah... " Everyone is thankful.
"How's my wife doing doc? " Many worry.
"The wife of the father is lying down, it was said that he was very dizzy, nauseous and wanted to vomit. but do not worry, this is indeed common.please wear PPE that has been provided.. if you want to go into the room... " Ana's doctor let me in, after I had PPE.
My wife was lying down with my second child face down on her chest.
"Iamuang.. " I approached them, and without feeling tears flow from both corners of my eyes.
My wife was crying, she reached out and I reached her.
"Thank you my wife, you have struggled to bear our children.. " Say me while pecking at the top of his head.
"I'm sorry, it's caesar.. Mothers who undergo cesarean section often get negative talk, Many say not a perfect mother.." He said while sobbing.
"Astagfirullah. don't say so dear..And every mother who has a C-section is still a mother.." I rubbed his teary cheeks.
"Alhamdulillah.. "
"Who says so ma'am?. o Allah. who says giving birth by caesarean is easy.. do not worry about bonding between mother and child, the mother will also definitely still have a beautiful breastfeeding experience, and a close bond is established with the baby while breastfeeding.." Entertain Anna's doctor, and manage to make my wife smile.
"After this, the mother will be moved to the treatment room..I will also prescribe pain medication to reduce the pain in the incision.It is recommended to get up and learn to walk shortly after returning to the treatment room... "
After undergoing the examination process, my wife was in normal condition, finally she was transferred to the treatment room.
"It's so pretty that his son is mum.. " Say a nurse as she pushes the baby box beside us. "Alhamdulillah already in Apgar.. "
"The weight is 3.2 kg. height is 51 cm.. " Sister said again.
My wife and I looked at our second little angel with great admiration. Like looking at birth time dew, it's very similar.
"his name? " I asked, stroking my wife's head.
"I always pray to be given offspring who do obedience, so that by obedience it makes his parents happy in the world and the hereafter." My wife answered expectantly.
"Qurrota A'yun Safiyah Abdullah.. "
"A woman, the obedient and pure servant of God .the eyes and hearts of joy to her parents of the world and the Hereafter. " My neighbor, holding my son and chastising him, whispered the words of God so that his heart would always be filled with love for his Creator.
"We call him Ainun... " Say my wife, and I reply with a nod in agreement.
Ainuns....
May you grow up to be a pure girl, your heart, your beauty, and your morals. Always cool for those who look at you.
To preserve your purity and honor, and to be obedient servants of God, to one day be our helper.
Dew and Ainun...
Little angels beautiful baba umma...
May you be obedient and safe children both in the world and in the hereafter.
