Spirit Up Hospital,

Manik and Nandini were outside Navya's cabin as she was busy with a patient. After five minutes they were called inside.

Navya: Hi guys!

She gets up and side-hugs them. They all settled down, and both Manik and Nandini had different feelings. Manik was feeling awkward while on the other hand, Nandini was feeling nervous.

Navya: Guys let me clear this up first I'm your doctor so you both don’t have to be uncomfortable with me. Be frank, relaxed, and comfortable.

Both nodded at her.

Navya: Alright, so Nandini let me give you a few pointers first. You need to look after yourself more. I'll offer you a list of foods that are off-limits to pregnant women. You should exercise and be extra cautious during the first trimester because the risk of miscarriage is high. I'll do some tests and advise you on what to eat more and what not to, and yes most importantly do not carry heavy objects. Yes, above all, make an effort to maintain your happiness. The happier and healthier you are, the better off your unborn child will be. Indeed, you will experience nausea from time to time, particularly in the morning. You may also experience dizziness. There's no need to worry it's all common and normal during this time.

Nandini: Navya I can work right???

Navya: Of course, even Nevertheless, we would prefer that women in this period require minimal labor, it supports your continued activity.

Nandini: Okay.

Navya: Alright, Nandini Thus, a few tests must now be carried out. This is the list, which you can review once.  Please excuse me while I finish this quick operation.

They both nodded at her and left her cabin. It took a whole 1 hour to conduct all the tests. The nurse asked them to wait for half an hour for the reports to come. After half an hour nurse gave the reports to her and asked them to go to Navya’s cabin as she was free now. They both enter and Nandini gives her the reports.

Navya: There are just a few things that need to be taken care of, nothing to worry about. I'll write you an order for calcium supplements and a variety of vitamins. To prepare your body to carry the baby, you will need to take them. We won't know for sure for a while, but as the baby grows, it will gradually require more nutrients from your body, which is when you will start to feel weak. Therefore, you need to take these vitamins and calcium to avoid that circumstance. In addition, I'm prescribing you a couple of more medications that will assist you when you experience morning sickness.

Nandini: I will take care of it.

Navya: For you this is it but there are a few things I want to discuss with Manik.

Manik: With me???

Navya: Ya there are many which you need your attention. You should also know about it and take care of it.

Nandini: Navya, you already informed me of all the things if there is anything else you can say that to me I'll take care of it.

Navya: Nandini this period is very precious for both of you. He should also know about it.

Manik: Nandini let her be.

Navya: Alright, Manik I've given her a list of foodstuffs that are off-limits to a pregnant lady. She needed to exercise more caution throughout the first trimester due to the increased risk of miscarriage. She can't exert herself. I gave her a list it what to eat and what not to eat after doing some tests. Keep her away from carrying bulky items. Indeed, the most crucial thing to do is to make her as happy as you can. The baby's health will improve in proportion to her happiness and well-being.
