The Shackles of Love are Lying
Ectopic Pregnancy

"Yes, I had a pregnancy outside the womb. Let's look at this area, there's a lump of meat here." Ana's doctor shifted the device in Aina's stomach, which was connected to the monitor.

While lying down, Aina and Najib looked closely at the monitor in front of her, an even more sophisticated monitor than the one she had seen. The picture is more real, and the baby's heartbeat is seen and heard clearly.

"This is the ovary, this is the fallopian tube. It's womb. It's the abdominal cavity and it's the cervix. The baby will grow well when it is in the womb. A very powerful place, created by God to grow. But unfortunately the baby Mother did not grow in the right place. " Ana's doctor took a short breath before continuing his remarks.

"In an ectopic pregnancy, the baby grows outside the uterus. A very fragile place to grow. It is usually in the fallopian tube area. But it can occur in the area of the ovaries, abdominal cavity or cervix. But it happens very rarely. Usually, if in the fallopian tube area, the baby does not live long. Between 2-10 weeks the baby's pouch will detach by itself or miscarry. The older you get, the greater the risk that you and your baby will have to bear." Maybe this information is difficult to understand by both, but there is no harm if Ana explains it, so that patients take the right decision.

"The baby's father grew up in the abdominal cavity, a rare ectopic pregnancy. And I estimate your baby is 20 weeks old, already entering the second trimester. Beyond the age of ectopic pregnancy in general."

"Is that really our baby?" He looked as if in disbelief, But seeing the heartbeat inside the monitor, he nodded his head.

"At the time of the first control the doctor said that it was just a benign tumor. Harmless, action will be taken after our baby is born." Najib's Light. She indeed always accompanied Aina during the control. It's not strange if he knows his wife.

"Indeed right. Often the ectopic pregnancy is not detected, only after experiencing symptoms that are like the Mother feels and carried out a deeper examination can be known about the ectopic pregnancy."

"Is that dangerous, Doc?" ask Aina. He could not hide his anxiety to the point that his hands trembled violently while tidying his clothes back.

Doctor Ana was silent for a moment. He looked at Aina and Najib in turn. It is heavy but he must say.

"Ectopic pregnancy is very risky for both mother and baby. It can cause complications for both mother and baby. The place where the baby grows is very prone to release, the slightest movement can be fatal. Cause the mother to miscarry and severe bleeding and life at stake. As for the prospective baby, the possibility of experiencing complications is very large as well. Caused by abnormal growth of the heart or lungs or other organs."

"Usually an ectopic pregnancy will go away on its own. But if it happens further growth usually we will recommend to do the removal of the fetus. Given the very high risk to mother and baby."

"Do you mean abortion?" Tanya Aina was terrified.

Doctor Ana nodded her head without saying anything.

Aina grabbed Najib's arm for a moment, holding him tightly. Staring at him with a stiffened, anxious and confused face. Both of his eyes were heating up, holding back tears.

"Mas??" Say it later with teary eyes.

Likewise with Najib, in fact he was also very hit with what was delivered by Ana's doctor. But he is more able to control himself and can be calm.

"Whether there is an event, someone who has experienced this kind of pregnancy can give birth well and healthy." Said berahan.

"Early it happened in Siberia, the baby was born in good health as well as the mother of the baby survived, in Bali, and from the other hemisphere as well . What happened to Paula Cawte. She chose to maintain her pregnancy despite the high risk. Thankfully, God wanted to give happiness to the couple. Paula Cawte was able to give birth safely and the baby was too. Yet almost his soul was frowned at the operating table."

"However, it can not be used as a reference that ectopic pregnancy is safe. Estimated one in six hundred thousand, the chances of the mother and baby passing through at birth are safe."

"If the appointment is done, what are the risks. Can we get pregnant again?"

"Whatever the removal of the fetus in the age that has entered the second trimester, has a high risk. But as doctors, we will try methods that can minimize these risks. We're just trying, God determines."

"To get pregnant again, that possibility still exists. But it would be nice to do a fertility program first, so that ectopic pregnancy does not happen again."

"So it could repeat?"

There was a glimmer of hope for them, making them able to breathe a sigh of relief. However, they must carefully make decisions.

"What is the doctor's advice?"

Dr. Ana was silent and took a deep breath before giving an answer.

"As I described. The sooner that action is taken, the better it will be for the health of the mother. But it's all up to you. We're just helping."

"Should this be the path we choose, my dear?"

"You think, Deck?"

"This can't be Mas. Our baby has life. She's been alive for almost 5 months in my womb. Would you do that to him. Just decided on his life?"

"I did too, Dek. You're strong, right, if we keep him?"

"We try, Mas. May God give him health until the time when he can see the world in truth without any meaningful complications."

"All right."

"Thank you, Mum."

"No. I'm the one who should thank you. Because I actually can't bear to see you in so much pain."

"It's okay, Mom."

Ana's doctor allowed the two for discussion. It's a difficult decision especially for moms-to-be. Whatever he decides, he can understand it. She is also a woman, of course heavy when it comes to choosing removal on her fetus.

"May we decide to keep him, Doctor?"

"All back to the ones who lived it, we can't intervene with you."

"Yes, we are happy with his presence. And we'll keep it."

"I recommend that the mother remain in total bed rest and under the supervision of a doctor until the baby can be born. And also avoid things that are harmful to the mother and the future baby mother."

"Alright, Doctor, thank you for everything."

He immediately lifted Aina's body from the bed and sat her in a wheelchair, then took her outside the room.

"Mas, is this because I have dared to snatch Mas from Mbak Sheza so that God gives this kind of trial."

"Don't think like that. If we are sure, whatever happens, God must be hiding something beautiful if we are patient," he replied calmly, Although in his heart he whispered, Maybe it is my fault also for all of you. Having offspring is very difficult.
