TWENTY-TWO

When I emerge from the exam room, clothed and ready to go, Dr. Alston says, "All set?"

"Yeah."

She hands me a bag with a couple of things in it. "I've included another copy of the book I gave you, since you don't have the original one, and a few additional things about diet and such. To help with the lack of red meat." She winks at me.

I look in the bag. It’s the book about how the body changes with pregnancy, the one left behind at my old apartment. "Oh that reminds me," I say. "I noticed this morning that, um, my breasts are swelling. A lot. To the point of painful."

"How painful?"

"Achy, really."

"That's pretty normal. A little early, but normal. Your breasts are beginning to produce colostrum. It's a form of breast milk. It's a thicker, creamier substance that is generally higher in fat and very good for the baby when she's born. Sometimes you can begin to leak early, which is okay. A good, supportive bra or sports bra can help alleviate some of the tenderness. Even wearing one at night can help. There are some tips in that book that might help. Plus..." she says as she turns back to her desk. She grabs a couple of pamphlets and brings them over to me. "Here are a couple of good information sources on some things you can do to be more comfortable. They will better explain that part of pregnancy."

I take them and slip them into the bag. "Thank you. For everything."

"Anytime, Vivienne. Anything. I'll see you in a month."

"See you then." I reach for and turn the knob on the door.

Andrew is standing in front of the door, but he moves away quickly as I step through.

"Thanks again, Dr. Alston," I say over my shoulder.

She waves and Andrew whisks me down the hall. He reaches for his phone. "On our way," he says as we round the corner back toward the parking garage.
