THE Naive ME

part 31

Katleho

******

Daniel came to my place later that evening with my packages. I couldn't wait any longer to have my meal, just to see them my cravings went higher, I eat until my stomach complains about being full he was just sited staring at me all the time while eating pizza maybe it's because of how I was eating but I didn't mind him. After our dinner, he went for a bath so while he was bathing I was laying on the bed with my PC ready to play a movie waiting for him, But then boom I woke up around 4 am' I don't know what happened last night it seems like I dozed off while waiting for him, am covered by my blanket. I went to check him on the sitting-room he wasn't there maybe he went back to his place. I went back to my sleep I was weakenedd by 6am alarm, It's my queue to prepare for school just to arouse from bed I had an urge to throw out I ran to bathroom, it should be the food I eat yesterday am not familiar with Mopani worms but they never upset my It. After vomiting I cleaned my mouth and then I prepared for bath.

I went to school, its hot today I attended my first class. After my first class my stomach was growling I went to buy snack to keep me going until my free time, when I get to the store the temperature was high, it was really hot, the queue was long plus the operation was too slow I had no choice cause I can't be going to class while am starving, I tried to be patient to reach my destination. I just started to feel dizzy I searched for a spot where I could sit down, while i was looking around I went bleary and the next thing I see blank. When I wake up I was at the school clinic I don't know how did I get here. I look around I saw the nurse sited, she was writing something that seems to take all her focus. I cleared my throat that was when I had her focus shift from her work to me

Nurse: Good morning how are you feeling?

Katleho: what happened to me?

Nurse: I expect to hear that from you

Katleho: I believe I fainted, I felt dizzy than before I knew It I blanked out

Nurse: you were brought here 30 minutes ago
But you can relax the baby is fine cause I know the first thing you thought about was the baby

Katleho: what baby? I don't think I follow

Nurse: you didn't know that you are pregnant?

Katleho: No I can't be pregnant its impossible I saw my periods last month am not carrying a baby

Nurse: slow down stay calm, it's normal to see your periods while you are pregnant but I believe they weren't of normal flow, you might have seen small drops of blood for two or three or even a day it happens to most people during their pregnancy and faint is very common during pregnancy. It generally does not mean something is wrong. It is most common during the first trimester, but it can happen anytime during pregnancy. Dizziness and fainting (syncope) are often caused by a drop in blood pressure. This is from the hormones released during pregnancy that relax the body's blood vessels. Too little blood is then pumped up to the brain. When this happens, you lose consciousness (faint). Fainting is not dangerous to you or your baby unless you fall and hurt yourself. So I have examined you, your blood pressure has dropped a little I believe its the main cause of your dizziness

Katleho: ooh so what should I do with this law blood pressure?

Nurse: you should start avoiding alcohol, drinking plenty of water and eating small, low-carbohydrate meals along with fruits and vegetables will help. But now am to give you some pills that will help reduce the blood pressure

Katleho: Okay

Nurse: This are beta-blockers take 1 twice a day. Please try to take this medicine at the same time each day. As for pregnancy, you'll be seen for your first appointment between 6-12 weeks. Yes, this seems like a really long time to wait, especially when you have so many questions

Katleho:( I was so confused being pregnant, low blood pressure its all confusing I needed some time to process everything. I couldn't wait any longer for her to fill me with the information ) can I leave?

Nurse: yes am done with you, you can go don't be hard on your self ever since you just discovered about the pregnancy just process everything nicely and don't stress its not good for your health and the baby enjoy your day

Katleho: Thanks for your time( how can she expect me to enjoy my day while she just dropped the boom when I exit the door I was surprised to see Daniel, he was with dimakatso he seem too worried and concerned I believe she called him but how did she find out that am here I must have taken so much attention) Daniel what are you doing here?

Dimakatso: I called him ever since he seems to be the only family you have around here

Daniel: are you okay? what's wrong
You scared me off

Katleho: Can you please take me to the apartment( he seemed really concerned)

Daniel: okay let's go

We went to his car the drive to the apartment wasn't long plus the fact that we been quite even though you can tell he had so many questions to ask he never did and am glad cause I wasn't prepared to answer any of them he just dropped me off and leave as I told him I want my own company. Immediate when I get to my room I just broke down and cry how could my life be a mess like that just when I thought I have closed his chapter am done with him something come up to link me with him again
