Retaliation of the Sick Wife
Seventeen Weeks

The day continues to pass, it does not feel that Kanaya's gestational age is increasing. When nausea and vomiting are like Morning Sickness, Kanaya does not feel it. Only, the woman became more forgetful now and was easier to fall asleep. It is natural because there is an increase in the hormone progesterone that can trigger drowsiness in pregnant women. However, in the first trimester, Kanaya felt that every night she could not sleep well because of frequent urination. Nevertheless, Bhishma has always been a standby husband to him.

“Mas, I am already sleepy huh ..” lamented this time to her husband.

Even though tonight is still late, but the pregnant woman has complained of drowsiness. Kanaya's life changes so much. In the past, while still a novel writer, midnight became a very atrategis time to be able to pour his ideas into narrative sentences, descriptions, and combined with dialogue.

However, there was no 20:00 in the evening and he felt his eyes were heavy. Even a bed and a pillow seemed more cradled for him. Seeing the change of the wife, Bisma was just a head bobble.

"Yes already .. just go to sleep, baby. I'm temenin. After all, usually midnight, you will wake up and continue to make it to the bathroom. That's natural, because the production of the hormone progesterone that does trigger drowsiness. In addition, the body experiences blood production accompanied by a decrease in blood pressure and sugar levels, so most pregnant women will feel more sleepy." the explanation is so scientific to his wife.

Kanaya also listened to her husband's explanation while rubbing her eyes that had runny and felt so heavy.

"When I still want to talk to you" said Kanaya as she stretched herself and leaned her head against her husband's chest. The most comfortable position during her time as a wife of a Bhishma is to sleep soundly in her husband's arms.

"It's okay .. I can talk later. I will continue to prepare my ears for your story. The health of Bumil and the baby is more important." he said while wiping the top of his wife's head.

Kanaya nodded, the woman occasionally closed her eyes as if the softness of the bed and the aroma of Woody emitted from the perfume her husband used actually made her more lulled. However, before his eyes closed, he remembered something.

"Eh Mas, tomorrow we have a routine content check schedule right?" Kanaya asked and as if her sleepiness just disappeared.

"Yes dear .. tomorrow I register yes. Later in the afternoon I'll take you to the office to check on the baby again" he said.

"Makasih Mas, even though I took an online taxi is nothing. Pity you have to go back and forth from the Hospital to Jaya Corp and go back to the Hospital again, you must be tired" she said this time who actually felt sorry for her husband.

Bisma shook her head, "All for love, dear ..My love for you and for the baby both of us" he said as he landed his kiss on his wife's forehead.

...🍁🍁🍁...

The next day, just as Bisma had promised to pick up Kanaya at Jaya Corp. The man really did not allow his wife to ride the Taxi Online. He was more certain that he himself had picked up his wife. Back and forth is fine, as long as his wife is safe.

Once in the poly content, both of them also queue up until their turn to do the examination. While waiting, Kanaya read through various information contained in the Routine Content Checking Book ranging from nutrition for pregnant women, childbirth symptoms, and postpartum care.

"So the pregnant woman turned out to learn new things huh Mas?" ask her this time to her husband.

Bhishma nodded, "Yes .. lots of information about pregnancy and the baby. It's better in your spare time to read, if the less understanding can ask me" he said with a smile.

"Enak ya so me, if anyone does not understand can immediately consult." he said.

Bhishma laughed, "You're good, baby .. You can ask me and Mother Hesti too. Mother is very experienced in accompanying pregnant women to give birth, if there is anything asked Mother only nothing."

Then it was Kanaya's name that was called. The two then entered the examination room to see the development of their fetuses.

"Good afternoon Mrs Kanaya and Doctor Bisma .." said Doctor Indri to the two of them.

"Dok afternoon .." said the two almost simultaneously.

"How healthy is Miss Kanaya? Any complaints?" ask Dr Indri to Kanaya.

"I get sleepy more often and a little forgetful, Doc" he replied with a smile.

"It's okay Mom, pregnant women do become more sleepy because the body produces the hormone progesterone" replied Dr. Indri.

Hearing the explanation from Doctor Indri, Kanaya smiled. Apparently the answer from the Obstetrician was the same as the answer given by her husband. Seeing the expression of Kanaya's face, Doctor Indri also knew that Doctor Bisma must have explained it to his wife.

"Definitely explained Doctor Bisma first huh Ma'am? Yep yah, if there are complaints or questions can directly ask the Doctor Bisma." said Dr. Indri. "Alright, now we do the checking with USG yes Ma'am."

Kanaya nodded and then climbed into a gurney, a nurse helped to lift a little of the shirt Kanaya was wearing and also smeared USG Gell on Kanaya's stomach. Once ready, Dr. Indri starts moving the transducer in Kanaya's stomach.

"Welcome to 17-18 weeks of pregnancy. Now we proceed to measure the fetus huh. The length of the fetus from head to foot is about 12 centimeters. The weight of the fetus is about 15o grams, if illustrated by the fetus Mother is already as big as a radish yes ma'am. Well, at this gestational age the most important thing is to start hardening the bones in the body of the fetus. From the shell and other cartilage begins to harden. Now we listen to his heartbeat, ma'am."

Begin Doctor Indri again move the tranduser on Kanaya's stomach and press one part of the ultrasound device, so that heard the sound of a heart beat.

Deg ... Deg ... Deg ...

The first time they heard their baby's heartbeat, Kanaya couldn't hold back her tears. Her tears just broke, even though her face was smiling, but her tears just flowed.

"Masyaallah .." the woman made a soft voice when she heard the beating of her baby's heart for the first time.

The same is the case with Bhishma who looks teary hearing the heartbeat of her baby for the first time. What a moment he had always been waiting for all this time, being able to listen to the heartbeat of his baby, making Bhishma also praise the name of God.

Looking at Kanaya and Bhishma who looked touched, Doctor Indri smiled, "God willing, Doctor Bisma? If being a Obstetrician does hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time it feels happy to mix haru." story Indri Doctor this time.

She nodded, "Yes right, Doc .. I also first visited the newborn baby was very moved." this time it was the man's turn to tell the story.

"So broadly speaking, baby Mothers and Doctors of Bisma are in good condition huh. This umbilical cord is already visible yes ma'am, also the placenta has grown rapidly with thousands of blood vessels that can channel nutrients and oxygen to the fetus." dr Indri explained again while showing the umbilical cord and placenta using the ultrasound.

There is nothing happier for a prospective parent when they hear that their fetus is in good health. Even so with Kanaya, she also felt grateful when she found out that her fetus was in good and healthy condition.
