Chapter 70

• A week after her doctor’s appointment and the news that she was pregnant, Rakia did her best to look normal. However, she had to work hard to hide her morning sickness, not only in the morning but also in the afternoon. She went back to the same doctor and complained about the morning sickness that came every day.
• “Could you prescribe something to reduce it? It’s kind of annoying and it ruins my mood at work.” As Rakia poured out her heart, the doctor smiled.
• “Hang in there, the morning sickness will stop after the second month. Eat something sweet after morning sickness, like dates. It’s better than other sweets because it doesn’t risk raising your blood sugar.”
