Sharing Love: Winning Without Love
Seasons 2 - Absolute Relief
Welcoming the birth of a baby so dramatic and poignant has just faced Radit and Khaira today. The birth is silent, when the baby she just gave birth to does not cry at all. There is a sense of shock in the heart, fear of loss, even all negative thoughts as if facing Khaira and Radit.
Even the woman who had just given birth, paid no heed to the pain. Her heart raged and kept calling the baby.
"Sister .. Sister, Mama is here, Dik." Khaira's voice was so soft and heartbreaking.
"Mas, what's your baby sister?" again Khaira said shortly after giving birth to her baby.
While the silence of Radit is also a sign that the condition of the baby is not fine. Ten minutes like Khaira was on the edge of a deep abyss. Ten minutes that made it so crowded.
Until the medical action carried out by Indri Doctor and nurse, finally the tiny baby boy was crying. The cries they were waiting for finally filled the room. This time, the baby was placed on top of Khaira's chest, unceasingly Khaira was crying and at the same time grateful in her heart.
"Adik .. Mama loves you, son." said Khaira while stroking the head of her son who was on his chest.
Just like Radit who can't shed his tears. Not only glassy, but the man really shed his tears. The man then left his index finger in the grasp of his tiny baby.
"Your dear father, son." An expression of the affection of a Radit to the baby.
About an hour, their baby was on top of Khaira's chest and did the Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD), which is, and down there Dr. Indri took action to re-stitch the birth canal Khaira. After that, the baby was again taken to be cleaned from the remnants of amniotic fluid that is still attached to his body, put on adhesive diapers, and also put on clothes. Then Indri Doctor injects Vitamin K and HB (Hepatitis B) 0 which must be given within 12 hours after the baby is born.
Vitamin K injections are given in the thigh muscles. The purpose of this injection is to prevent bleeding in various organs of the body. While HB 0 injection is given to protect the baby from Hepatitis B virus that can cause dangerous disorders in the body.
After the baby was handled well, Khaira was now also cleaned. When Doctor Indri approached to congratulate him there was a curiosity that came to Khaira, so that made the woman to ask.
"Congratulations, Miss Khaira, Mother and baby are safe. Alhamdulillah ..." congratulations from Doctor Indri to Khaira.
Khaira nodded and shed tears, "Thank you Doc, I've been helped from giving birth until now." she replied. "However, the Baby Sister why is it Doc? How could she be born and not cry at all. My heart was almost broken, Doc." Khaira told me honestly.
The tightness he had felt a few years ago, as if it was still yelling in his chest.
"How can Doc? Isn't the time of the last examination, the condition of the amniotic fluid is still good. I feel so devastated, Doc." Khaira's story at the moment.
Mentally undeniable, he felt very devastated. The shadow she gave birth will certainly be like when giving birth to Arsyilla first, where the process of pushing the last and the baby born will cry. But this time it really became a silent labor.
"Yes Ma'am, the last ultrasound results and CTG results (Cardiotocography is a tool that serves to monitor heart rate and birth contractions while the baby is still in the womb) are also good. I was also quite surprised by this incident. Well Mom rest first huh. The baby is now kept in an incubator for at least 6 hours to monitor its organs. My message, try to ASI that will strengthen every organ of his body is Mom." said Dr. Indri before saying goodbye.
Their baby is now in an incubator. Khaira then looked at her husband who was still sitting in front of her.
"Mas, hug me for a moment .." call her this time to her husband.
Radit nodded and then approached to hug Khaira. His hands were not only limited to clenching, but also moved to caress the head to the back of his wife. Khaira was crying again. The woman buried her face in the chest of her husband's field.
"I was so scared, Mom. Even my body shakes everything." Khaira's confession right now. The woman also sobbed and broke her tears. "I can't imagine bad things happening. I will be uncertain, Mas." said Khaira sobbing. Even his hands that wrapped around Radit's waist were still trembling.
As with Radit, the man also shed his tears. "Sama Darling .. I'm scared too. After Baby Sister can cry then I feel relieved" he said.
Khaira nodded, "Yes .. upon hearing her cries I felt relieved. I'm traumatized for giving birth, Mas. So scared."
Maybe physically he still feels the pain of childbirth and fatigue, but psychologically there is also a fear that makes Khaira feel as if she feels the trauma of giving birth. What's more, babies who swallow their baby can also be fatal. Khaira and Radit are still lucky because Indri Doctors and the Medical Team took action quickly and precisely, so that the baby can survive.
"Yes Darling .. has two children. You are also great, dear .. Thank you for fighting so hard to give birth to your sister. Thanks for everything. I really love you, my wife." Radit spoke while kissing his wife's forehead. "Calm down, we'll go through it all together. We strengthen each other. We both need time to calm our minds and hearts."
It is undeniable to welcome a birth that is so dramatic and beyond expectations makes Radit and Khaira both need time to calm their hearts and minds. Mentally, they're both falling, shaking mentally. If you can hope, surely they both can experience the same birth moment as when Arsyilla was born first.
Each birth has its own story. Sweet and bitter, like and sorrow, as if walking hand in hand accompanied the birth of the Baby. That is also what Radit and Khaira are experiencing at this time. Two pregnancies, two normal deliveries, and two different stories.
