A few hours later..
The doctor and the sisters came out of the IGD room.
"How does Varo condition my wife?" ask Al.
"Your wife's condition is fine. It's just that he needs to be treated until tomorrow for further follow-up. Lucky the fetus in her stomach survived. The fetus in the stomach of your wife there are about 6 anyway. That's also if I don't miscalculate" said doctor Alvaro.
"6 fetuses?" muttered Al.
"Yes Sir. I thought that after I counted. Moreover, her fetus is still too small. Later if you want to see more directly from the USG only sir." said Dr. Alvaro.
"But doc.. Why do I also follow the symptoms of pregnant women?" ask Al.
"There may be a sympathetic syndrome" replied Dr. Alvaro.
"What is sympathetic syndrome? And how do I handle it doc?" ask Fiona.
"Sympathetic pregnancy or also called Couvade syndrome occurs when the husband feels the signs of pregnancy experienced by the wife. Generally the trigger factor is stress and empathy of the husband to the wife who is pregnant.
Sympathetic pregnancy is usually experienced by the husband when the wife's pregnancy is in the first and third trimesters.
Symptoms of Sympathetic Pregnancy
Similar to a pregnant wife, a husband who is experiencing a sympathetic pregnancy can feel some physical symptoms, such as:
Nausea and vomiting
Stomach pain or cramping
Stomach bloating and heartburn
Changes in appetite
Back pain
Respiratory disorders
Irritation of the urinary tract
Sympathetic pregnancy can also be characterized by several psychological symptoms, such as:
Moodswing (moodswing)
Disturbance of sleep patterns or difficulty sleeping
Anxiety
Descending passion ****
Depressions
How to Deal with a Sympathetic Pregnancy
Bumil and husband do not need to worry because sympathetic pregnancy is not a disease or mental disorder. This condition is generally not serious and is only temporary.
The good news, sympathetic pregnancy can be controlled or alleviated by doing some of the following ways:
Overcome psychological pressure
Being a new parent can make anyone stressful and emotional. This condition is not only experienced by pregnant women, but also the husband. It is during this stress that the body secretes chemicals that can lead to a sympathetic pregnancy.
To reduce psychological distress, pregnant women and their husbands can attend parenting classes, chat with relatives and friends who already have children, and discuss with their spouses. Mutual understanding and planning activities after having children will also help facilitate the transition of pregnant women and couples into parents.
Improve husband and wife communication
The closeness of the emotional relationship between Bumil and husband can indeed make the husband feel what Bumil is feeling. Therefore, communication between pregnant women and their husbands is very important because it can be the key to calming each other during pregnancy.
Ask for professional help
Excessive mind load in men can lower testosterone levels and increase the stress hormone cortisol. In the long run, excess cortisol can increase prolactin which can cause pregnancy-like symptoms, such as breast enlargement.
In some severe cases, men with Couvede syndrome may need to get professional assistance, take drugs, or undergo psychological therapy" explained Dr. Alvaro at length.
"Well doc." said Al.
"If there's nothing else to ask, excuse me. And for your wife to be aware soon." said doctor Alvaro then left.
Ayu was moved to the nursery.
"Son, I didn't think you were pregnant with my six granddaughter" Fiona said.
"Ma, just let Al say it, maybe Ayu will be aware" said Kenzo.
"Darling.conscious. Don't you know? In your stomach is our child. And said doctor Alvaro, our prospective child there are about six dear" said Al.
Suddenly, Ayu's fingers moved.
The first time Ayu saw Al as he came to his senses.
"Water." lirih Ayu.
Al also gave Ayu water.
Al also did not forget to call doctor Alvaro.
"Alright, your wife is conscious. The possibility between tomorrow or the day after can just go home. Excuse me first." said Dr. Alvaro.
"Ma, let's leave them alone. Maybe they want to talk about something." said Kenzo.
"Yes pa, Queen, Azka, let's go out first!" said Fiona.
"Iya Fio." said the Queen and Azka compact.
The four of them left Ayu and Al in the room.
"Honey.. Why am I in the hospital? Not that I just vomited and then.hm." said Ayu.
"After that you passed out baby. You know? In your stomach is our child. And Alvaro's doctor said there are six of our children's candidates" said Al.
"Six of our child candidates? That's plenty!" said Ayu.
"Yes dong.kana who made me too!" al said arrogantly.
"Hm." said Ayu.
Ayu still remembered the struggle when she gave birth first.
The flash back on.
Ayu suddenly felt pain in her stomach. Because it's still early, Ayu doesn't want to disturb anyone. So Ayu decided to go to the hospital alone.
Before Ayu walked, her amniotic fluid suddenly broke.
Ayu who saw it decided to walk quickly to get to the hospital.
Lucky distance of Ayu's residence with the hospital close. So Ayu doesn't have to go far.
Ayu also did not forget to leave a message for aunt that she was in the hospital.
In the hospital..
"How many openings has Ana?" asked Ayu while enduring her pain.
"Already five. We have to wait until the opening of ten Yu." said Ana's doctor.
"Hm." said Ayu.
A few hours later..
Finally has opened ten.
"Let's Yu start huh. I count 123." said Doctor Ana, holding Ayu's hand.
So what helped Ayu give birth was another nurse and also another doctor.
Doctor Ana pityes to see Ayu has to give birth alone. Doctor Ana intends to give Ayu strength.
"Mum's spirit. Let's go on." said the doctor.
"Come Yu. Go on." said Ana.
Finally, the first baby boy came out.
"Congratulations ma'am, first baby boy" the doctor said, then gave the nurse a clean-up.
Ayu continued to try until the baby came out two women.
"Congratulations mom, second baby girl" said the doctor giving the baby to the nurse to be cleaned.
Ayu kept trying until the third baby came out. Women too.
"Congratulations Yu, the third baby is still a girl" Ana said.
Ayu who heard doctor Ana's words just nodded.
"Four girls' baby" said the doctor.
"And the last baby.. Man." said the doctor.
Flash back off.
"Darling..What are you thinking?" ask Al.
