"The baby survived," the doctor announced.

Iyon agad ang bumungad sa tenga ko pagmulat ko ng mata. Sabay kaming lahat napahinga nang maluwag dahil sa sinabi ng doktor. Napapikit ako nang maramdaman ang masayang halik ni Raven sa noo ko.

"That was close. Mabuti nalang at malakas ang kapit ng bata. But that doesn't mean you should be less careful. Mas mag-ingat kayo simula ngayon dahil mas naging sensitive ang embryo sa nangyari," she added.

Masayang ngumiti sa akin si Maggie at Paupau na nasa gilid lang ng hospital bed. Mahina pa ako kaya hindi ko kayang tumayo kahit gaano ko subukan. Raven won't let me, too.

"But doc... I took a pill in the morning after the..." napatigil ako nang mapagtanto kung gaano ka awkward ang tanong ko. Natatawang lumingon sa akin si Maggie kaya mas lalo akong nahiya. Sa kanya ako humingi noon!

"You cannot rely everything on pills, hija. Dahil minsan sumasablay rin ito. When was the last time you had an intercourse?" bulgar na tanong ng doktor.

Alam mo ba kung gaano ka awkward 'yang tanong mo, doc?

But I know it's normal for her as a doctor. Kaya hinayaan ko nalang.

"More than two weeks ago," si Raven ang sumagot.

"So, possibly 3?" pagkaklaro ni doktora. Tumango si Raven kaya tumango rin ako.

"Then I don't think that baby on your womb was conceived after your recent intercourse. As I have checked, you are 6 weeks pregnant. How come you did not notice any sign of pregnancy within those weeks?"

"I didn't notice any aside from sudden dizziness. Inalis ko na rin sa isip ko dahil dinatnan naman ako last month," sagot ko sa kanya.

Umiling ang doktor sa akin. "That was probably not a menstrual bleeding, hija. Spotting ba ang tinutukoy mo?"

Tumango ako.

"That is common during the early stages of pregnancy. Spotting usually has a lighter flow than a menstrual period and the color also varies from the menstrual blood. Pero hindi lagi ibig sabihin na may problema na sa pagbubuntis mo. Your spotting is due to the implantation of the developing embryo. So, no need to worry if in a few days, may light bleeding ka na namang mapapansin, as long as wala kang kakaibang nararamdaman na sakit o hindi malakas ang discharge ng blood."

After what happened, ngayon ko lang napagtanto at naalala ang nangyari noong inakala kong dinatnan ako. I ony had spottings and it didn't even last for two days. Hindi ko naman iyon binigyang halaga dahil kadalasan ay tigtatatlong araw lang ang tagal ng normal menstruation ko.

I had no record of food aversions. May dizziness but I thought it was only because of stress.
