Gap between the Childbirths

Mother: (Calling) I hope that you get ruined… you have ruined the yard… Neela… hey Neela… where is your sister… take care of her…

Neela: (From far) she is in the yard and playing with the hens and cocks…

Mother: (With herself) uff God… I am too tired… what is this situation… one is only 2 Yrs… the other is of some months… taking care of two consecutive children at a time are too hard…

(Crying sound of 2 Yrs baby)

Mother: (Calling) Neela… hey Neela… where is your sister?

Neela: (Replying) she fall down… I am going to wash her hands and then will bring her home…

Mother: I hope that she does not disturb the other from the sleep… God… you help me… that these two small children get grown soon.

(Door opening sound)

Neela: (Laughing) this is mummy… take your daughter… her clothes are dirty…

(Laughing Sound of 2 Yrs Baby)

Mother: (With kindness) come here;… my lovely daughter to me… it is good that you didn’t hurt yourself… come to me come…. (Laughing sound of child)

Neela: How nice is she laughing… my brother went to sleep?

Mother: (With kindness) Yes dear… he has a belly ache…  he is really disturbed… he just went to sleep… go and bring the grams because it is already getting late and it will be night soon.

(Crying sound of a small baby)

Mother (With kindness) enough… enough… don’t cry… what happened to you son…

Neela: My father will bring a syrup for the belly ache of my brother…

Father: (With kindness) I will bring… you may have taken cold water because of that she got belly ache…

Mother: (With kindness) I don’t know… I gave him a kind of dry milk… that may have some effect on him…

Father: Najla… come and sit with me… dear daughter….

Mother: (With tiredness) these two small children fed up me… I am too tired with them…

Father: (Laughing) It is ok… after a year you will get rid of them… my cousin give birth to boy… if you go and meet her once tomorrow would be good…

Mother: (With tiredness) If I go there then who will be taking care of the children…

Neela: It is ok mummy… lets four us go together… I will hug Jamil and you Laila…

Father: (Laughing) Naughty… how is this possible.. it is ok their home is near us… Neela will take care of Najla and Jamil for 2 hours… you go once there… she doesn’t have anyone… God will give you reward on this…

Mtoher: (With kindness) It is ok… I will go… I have plan to tell her not to get pregnant soon… because it will create problems for her… there was no one to tell me… but I will give her advice..

Neela’s Mom: (With Joy) I hope that he brings you luck Khalida… how are you? Was the delivery normal?

Khalida: (With Joy) thank you very much Neela’s mom… I hope that your children also raise normally and with happiness… yes it was a normal delivery… thanks to the doctors they really worked hard…

Neela’s Mother: God bless them…

Khalida: You look very happy… how are the kids… especially the small girl and boy?

Neela’s Mother: (Laughing) everyone is fine… Neela’s father was conveying her greetings to you… I left Jamil and Najla to Neela, I said with myself that once visit you and then I will quickly go home…

Khalida: (With Joy) thank you… you made me very happy…

Neela’s Mother: One of the purpose of my coming is that I would like to tell you that take either tablets or injection… not to become pregnant soon… otherwise you will be like me.. see my children are consecutively after each other… Najla is totally weak… I am also very weak… taking care of two children at a time is very difficult…

Khalida: (With Joy) yes… for sure I will do this… the doctors also told me that each and every child should be breastfeed for two years… they also said that the gaps between the deliveries is very important… do you know if there is no gap between the children then they come to this world disable… meanwhile it is dangerous for the mother…

Neela’s Mother: (With Joy) it is ok that you are a clever lady… with your permission I would like to go home as the children are alone…

Khalida: (Laughing) what is the problem… it is already lunch time… the children will be in the guardian of Neela… why are you hurrying?

Neela’s Mother: (With hurry) I wish your health… take care of yourself and your baby… bye…

Message of Drama: Dear mothers; the 2 to 3 years gap between the births are necessary, lack of consideration of gaps between the childbirths (deliveries) is dangerous for the child and mother and it threaten their health and prosperity.
