Manan: Together We Will survive This

Chapter 25

Nurse: Nandini Murthy....

Manik: yes... That is us...

Nurse: sir reports aa gayi hai... You two can go inside....

Hearing the nurse both Manik and nandini moved inside the cabin...

There Dr shikha was going through the reports...

Manan sat in front of her....

Manik: Dr everything is fine right??

Dr shikha: well manik.... I don't want to lie to you... Nandini's reports aren't that good but they are not completely bad too....

Listening to the doctor manan gave each other a tensed look...

Manik: aunty.... Hua kya hai?? Dekhiye aunty please I don't want you to hide anything.... Whatever it is just please tell us so that if there is some problem too hum jald se jald uska solution nikalne ka try karengey.....

Dr shikha: I understand your concern Manik.... Mai khud ek doctor hone ke naatey tumse kuch nhi chupaungi....

Manik sabse phele baat kare toh nandini's feet.... I have examined her body.... And I have seen they are baldy swollen and red.... I know ki pregnancy mai feet do swell but in nandini's case the swelling is too much... It needs to be controlled..... Nhi toh aagey as her pregnancy will proceed she will gain more weight and uska Chalna mushkil ho jayega.... She will have immense pain then agar abhi swelling ko control nhi kara toh..

Manik:aunty I know swelling zyada hai.... We have started massaging her feet with oil... Will it be helpful??... And koi aur cheez that you suggest that can help in reducing the swelling...

Dr shikha: manik it is good that you have started giving her massage..... Mai khud ye suggest karti.... And apart from that there are special kind of slippers and shoes for pregnant women.... Buy them for nandini.... I would suggest that she should only wear those special pregnancy slippers and shoes... That will not put much pressure on her feet while walking....

But yes Manik.... Definitely they are a little expensive.. So...

Manik: you don't worry about that aunty... All that matters is nandini's comfort.... I don't care about the price.... I will buy it even if it gives slightest of relief to nandini....

Dr shikha: Okay... So moving forward...
Manik her pulse,blood pressure,sugar level,haemoglobin etc is all perfectly fine and this is a good thing.... It is good that this all is within the prescribed range....

Coming to the food.... Maine nandini ke test karwaye thai toh mujhe pata chala that she isn't allergic to anything... But Manik are you allergic to something???.... Actually mai Yeh isliye puch rahi Hun kyunki agar ek parent bhi kissi bhi cheez se allergic hota hai toh there are chances that baby ko bhi ussi cheez se allergy ho.... And so it is recommended that the mother should not eat that food item because usko bhi allergic reaction ho sakta hai....

Manik: yes aunty.... I am Allergic to pineapple and peanuts.....

Dr shikha: Theek hai Manik... This is good that you know... Nhi toh kuch cases mai people even don't know that they are allergic to something..... So I would suggest ki nandini shouldn't consume anything that contains pineapple or peanut... There are high chances of some allergic reaction to happen....

Coming to her immune system... Manik it's really weak... Because her immune system is weak there are chances that she can fall ill regularly and this will affect her as well as the baby's health..... Moreover it isn't prescribed to take any medicine in pregnancy....if she falls ill toh medicines leni padegei that is not recommended...

Manik: aunty.... What can be done for it??

Dr shikha: Manik her immune system can be increased.... Just a few measures and it will be helpful.... Walk ke liye toh maine tumhe phele hei bata diya hai.... Healthy fruits and vegetables are also suggested... Apart from this I will suggest you to start making her drink milk.... It will be really beneficial for her and the baby..... Milk not as in tea or coffee....  1 Plain glass of milk in a day at any time but not more than that... Too much intake bhi nhi hona chahiye...balance needs to be maintained... And also dry fruits... Start making her eat dryfruits..... Which dry fruit can be eaten and which cannot is already mentioned in the list I have given

Hearing the doctor nandini spoke...

Nandini :but aunty plain milk... I won't be able to drink it... I mean I feel pukish with the smell of plain milk...

Dr shikha: we can do one thing.... You have to drink one glass of milk but instead of drinking it plain... It's completely fine if you add chocolate powder or some other flavoured powder... Now a days we have so many varieties available.... You can add whichever flavour you like...

Manik: I will make sure ki Yeh saare instructions are being followed....

Dr shikha: good
Now coming to an important issue...
Jaise ki maine tumhe bataya ki nandini ko maine kuch vitamins and calciums prescribe kare thai... But Manik I don't think she has consumed them.... I mean it's been three months I am checking her... It looks ki 1.5 month approximately nandini ne vitamins and calciums liye hai that too half the quantity that was prescribed but after that it doesn't seem she had her medicines....

While Dr was saying this nandini started fidgeting with her fingers......

Well I am sorry to say Manik... But Yeh ek Bahot badi galti hai jo nandini kar rahi hai.... Already Bahot damage ho chuka hai... We need to control the situation... She needs to start it's consumption.... If this doesn't happen uski body slowly aur weak hoti ja rahi hai.... Her health has decreased in the past 1 month.... Jaise jaise her pregnancy grows uski body iss pregnancy ko support karna chod degi and phir mai aur tum kuch nhi kar payenge.... Tum samjh rahe ho na what I am trying to say...

While Manik was stunned listening to the doctor... The thought of loosing his princess or nandini got him goosebumps.... They are too precious for him... Something he cannot afford to loose at any cost....

While Manik after registering everything looked at nandini with questioning eyes whereas nandini lowered her eyes not being able to meet his gaze...

Dr shikha could see the tension that was being created after this news so she decided to speak...

Dr shikha: i am not asking you the reason nandini ki why did you not eat these medicines but I can only tell you to start having them as soon as possible..

Manik composed himself and spoke...

Manik: I will make sure doctor.... She will have all her medicines from now onwards.... But aunty this situation is under control na??  Mera matlab hai ki...

Dr shikha: i understand what you are trying to ask..... Agar till delivery nandini inhe continously leti hai from now onwards toh phir koi chinta ki baat nhi honi Chahiye.... But only if she takes it regularly and continously without skipping it's consumption......

That will be all Manik from my side...
Anything you want to ask??

Manik: nhi aunty... Thank you so much for taking out so much time... Agar kuch Hua toh I will call you...

Dr shikha: sure beta.... You are like family.... No need of thanks...

With this they were about to get up to leave when Dr spoke...

Dr shikha: Manik kya mai tumse akele mai baat kar sakti Hun??

Hearing this both Manik and doctor looked at nandini and she looked at manik...

Nandini: I will wait outside....

With this nandini left the cabin...

Manik: kya Hua aunty... There is nothing to be scared of right??  Nandini... Nandini Theek hai na??  Aap kuch chupa rahi hain??  Koi complication hai kya??

Dekhiye aunty aap mujhe bata sakti hai agar kuch baat hai toh... Mai nandini ko nhi bataunga taaki voh Stress na lei.....
