Chapter 1174 You're Going to Be a Father

Inside the private room, Lin Yuesha and her two maids heard everything clearly. The three of them looked at each other, stunned.

"I'm not just pregnant, I'm carrying triplets?"

Lin Yuesha took a deep breath; she simply couldn't remain calm.

Before she came, she never expected it to turn out this way.

Childbirth is difficult for women; even giving birth to one child can be a brush with death. Under the medical conditions of Daqi, could she possibly endure giving birth to three at once?

Lin Yuesha clenched her fist. Qi Heng was the culprit behind this, and he couldn't escape responsibility.

But from another perspective, people in this era still hope for many children and many blessings. Lin Yuesha managed to have a baby in one go, which would have taken other women three times. Although it was a bit of a hardship, it was efficient.

Lin Yuesha looked at Qingxing and Qi'er and found that the two maids were still in a daze, so she had no choice but to continue to listen carefully to the discussion outside.

"Dr. Li, you mentioned before that you've only encountered a few women pregnant with their third child in recent decades. Did any of these women give birth safely?"

Having no experience with this, Yan Yan asked nervously.

"Some women give birth safely, while others experience miscarriage and the loss of their unborn child. In short, triplets are fraught with danger."

If you have the means, it's good to have someone specifically to take care of you.

He just took her pulse and found that the woman was weak.

Insufficient Qi and blood make a third pregnancy extremely risky.

"Is there any other way?"

Yan Yan's heart was in her throat. She humbly asked for advice, because in terms of experience, she was indeed no match for the old doctor.

"In comparison, the risks of taking contraceptive soup are greater."

The old doctor pondered for a moment and then gave his opinion.

Pregnant with three children when one's blood and qi are insufficient will indeed cause further depletion of the body. If the fetuses are forcibly removed, it is unlikely that all three can be removed completely at once.

If even a small mistake occurs and there is severe bleeding, the consequences could range from difficulty conceiving again to death.

The doctors gathered together and discussed the matter at length before finally reaching a consensus.

The best solution would actually be to reduce the number of tires, but of course they can't do that at all; it's all just wishful thinking.

"Even women with good health find it difficult to conceive three children, let alone those with weak blood and qi."

Lin Qian looked at Yan Yan and said, "Women who are pregnant with twins usually give birth early, so we need to prepare her mentally in advance."

Given the current situation, taking contraceptive decoction is not practical; we can only take it one step at a time.

During the first three months of pregnancy, it is best to avoid heavy physical labor and rest in bed. After three months, light activity can be resumed.

Otherwise, it's playing with your life.

One more thing, to avoid accidents, sexual intercourse should be avoided throughout the entire pregnancy.

Lin Qian wrote a list, which was supplemented by Li Langzhong and the other doctors. The precautions started on one page and eventually expanded to more than ten pages.

After the doctor left, Yan Yan handed the prescription to Lin Yuesha and said, "Sister Yuesha, you should not hide this from the Emperor."

With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching and the grand ceremony for the investiture of the empress underway, there were numerous trivial matters, including worshipping at the Imperial Ancestral Temple and the pilgrimage of officials and their wives, some of which were quite a hassle.

Furthermore, they couldn't keep hiding from Qi Heng indefinitely, as doing so would damage their relationship.

"No wonder I haven't been feeling well lately, it turns out it's because I'm pregnant."

Lin Yuesha straightened her expression. For the sake of her health, she couldn't act recklessly; she knew that perfectly well.

It is said that it is not advisable to announce a pregnancy to outsiders during the first three months, but Lin Yuesha does not intend to hide it from her family.

"Your body is still very weak, you need to rest and recuperate more. I will take you back to your residence."

Yan Yan was worried and planned to move into the guest courtyard of the Qi residence in the near future, so that she could come whenever Lin Yuesha was unwell.

"Sister Yan, you've finally managed to find a moment of peace while researching medicine to prevent the plague in the south..."

Lin Yuesha promised not to run around, but in fact, she didn't have the energy to run around anyway.

These days, she can fall asleep while sitting at the table looking at the account books, and her appetite is also greater than before.

"It's alright. The food in the Qi family's kitchen is excellent. I've been wanting to try it for a long time. I finally have the chance to stay here, so you can't stop me from enjoying the delicious food."

Yan Yan held Lin Yuesha's hand firmly and said, "Don't worry, don't have any concerns. If there are any problems, don't forget that I also have the skills to perform a cesarean section."

"Sister Yan, I was fine at first, but what you said has made me even more scared."

If the delivery goes smoothly, Lin Yuesha doesn't want to have a C-section. She stroked her belly and said, "How come it's triplets? Are they three boys or three girls?"

"It's hard to say. We can't tell right now. We'll have to wait three or four months."

If Lin Yuesha is curious about the gender of the child in her womb, Yan Yan can take her pulse again.

However, Dr. Li once said that a woman pregnant with triplets may not necessarily give birth to three boys and three girls; she may give birth to two boys and one girl or two girls and one boy.

If so, Lin Yuesha could have both a son and a daughter, becoming a winner in life all at once.

After returning to her residence, Lin Yuesha asked someone to send a message to the palace.

Upon receiving the news, Qi Heng returned to his residence from the palace in about half an hour.

"My lady, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell again?"

Upon hearing that Yan Yan had moved to the Qi residence, Qi Heng immediately grasped Lin Yuesha's hand and looked her up and down, asking nervously.

"I'm fine, I've just been feeling sleepy lately. Didn't I tell you I'd be back tonight?"

Judging from Qi Heng's hurried manner, he must have rushed back immediately after receiving the news.

"If it weren't for something important, given your personality, you wouldn't ask someone to send a message to your husband."

Qi Heng, who thought he understood Lin Yuesha, was about to pull her into his arms when Qingxing and Qi'er immediately took hands and stood side by side, blocking the two of them.

"My lord, please speak properly and don't resort to violence."

Qingxing mustered her courage and defied Qi Heng for the first time.

"yes."

Qi'er echoed, and she and Qingxing sandwiched between Lin Yuesha and Qi Heng, preventing the couple from making any moves.

"you……"

Last night, when Granny Fang came to him and mentioned that couples should be moderate in their sexual relations, Qi Heng felt something was wrong. Today, Doctor Yan moved into the mansion, which made Qi Heng even more suspicious. Could it be that his wife has a health problem?

"There is a minor problem."

Lin Yuesha looked at Qi Heng and said, "I'm pregnant."

"What?"

Qi Heng thought there was something wrong with his ears. His wife was pregnant, and he was going to be a father?

"Yes, you're going to be a father."

However, it will be more than half a year before I become a father. It won't be that fast. After all, babies don't just spring out of a rock.

"You've lost a lot of blood and are very weak. Will it affect your ability to conceive during this period?"

Qi Heng was not overwhelmed by the sudden good news. His remaining rationality made him prioritize Lin Yuesha. He only needed one of their children.

"Yes, I guess so, considering she was pregnant with triplets."

Lin Yuesha pretended to be nonchalant, then quickly looked at Qi Heng to observe his expression.

As expected, Qi Heng was stunned upon hearing the news, just like she had been.
