Bun in the Oven

Phoebe Call the Midwife "Apparently!" she said with a laugh. It did happen she knew, some couples were just blessed with child after child. Then there were others that struggled to conceive even one. It didn't seem to have a specific rhyme or reason, but there was only so much anyone could every really know about how that worked. Frey or Safrin would probably have a much clearer idea. Perhaps she would ask them sometime. "Well if you are concerned he won't be gentle enough I can give you massages as part of your treatment every so often." Phoebe said with a smile. She would be checking up on her regularly anyways, it wasn't like it was something that was out of the way. "I am assuming he is more the rough and tumble type? My brother was like that until he had his daughter." she said with a grin. After Ara had been born, Brahm had become quite the gentle giant unless provoked. But Phoebe would still carefully walk Vai through the process of stretching out her lower back on her own, showing her how to use tabletops and walls as a brace to push or pull against. "If it is even particularly bad, you can stack up pillows in a circle and put your tummy in the middle. You'll look and feel a little ridiculous but the relief will be well worth it!" Phoebe put the list and all the prepared remedies in a little bag for Vai. "Anything with which I can trade or things I can use like foodstuffs would be preferred, but I am willing to work with whatever you've available." she said with a smile. She wasn't sure what Vai's personal working situation was - mostly she wasn't sure what someone who owned a tavern and ran an infirmary had for payment - but if her child's father was still in the picture he might have other means of providing for her that could be used.
