Wednesday (28/2) was Kiki's routine control schedule. When examined by the gynecologist, it turned out that one had opened. However, because this was Kiki Amalia's first pregnancy, the doctor advised her to go home first.
"The doctor checked, it's already opening one. But because we're the first child, usually opening one to nine is quite a long time. We'll go home at 5-6 o'clock." said Kiki's husband.
The doctor also conveyed a message to Agung, Kiki's husband, that the contractions he felt were getting more intense. They had to return to Tembuni, the birthplace chosen by Kiki.
"Doctor Ridwan said, if the contractions last every 5 minutes, then let me know or don't come back here." said Agung.
3. Contractions appeared until he was taken to the hospital.

Not long after arriving home, Kiki suddenly started feeling contractions every 5 minutes. Signs of giving birth are already visible. Without thinking any further, Agung quickly took the suitcase of birthing equipment and took his wife to the hospital.
"As soon as I got home, blood spots came out and there was mucus, it turned out it felt like 5 minutes or two," said Agung.
This husband and wife couple initially wanted to be taken by private car. However, because their condition was critical, Agung and Kiki immediately took a taxi which happened to be parked in front of the house.
"Incidentally, when I got off at home, there was a taxi, right? I told security (to take a car), that's it. The one that was there (took) a long time. There was a taxi, so I took (the suitcase) to the taxi." he said.
4. Stuck in traffic until stopped by the police.

Because that moment occurred in the late afternoon, at the same time people were coming home from work. As a result, the taxi that Kiki and Agung were riding in was stuck in traffic. Seeing that Kiki was about to give birth, Agung finally had to ask the driver to move to the busway lane.
"There was a traffic jam. Finally I said , 'Hey, just go through the busyway' . I was hit on the busway. The police also stopped me." explained Agung.
Due to moving to the busway lane, the taxi carrying Kiki and Agung was stopped several times by busway officers and the police. Agung also explained that his wife was about to give birth and had to be taken immediately to the hospital. Luckily, the officers and police at that time understood his condition and they were able to arrive at the hospital on time.
"Sorry, I broke the rules a bit, because this is really urgent. And thank you to the police and busway line guards. Thank you. If not, I would have given birth in a taxi." he concluded.
5. Have prepared and learned about childbirth.

Kiki's normal delivery did not occur without preparation. It turns out that long ago, Kiki and her husband learned about childbirth and did research on what needs to be prepared before birth.
"Thank God, we have studied beforehand, yes. We have researched, we have studied, it is really important to learn before we are born. Especially at my age, it is very important to learn before we are born," said Kiky.
At the end, Kiki and Agung gave encouragement and a message to those who have or want children at the age of four, not to be discouraged and believe that everything can be overcome as long as everyone is healthy.
