Xu Junhui said casually, "It's nothing, I'm not that tired. You know me, even if I wake up, I can go back to sleep very quickly."
"This doesn't affect me at all. And I asked my mom, and she said that when babies are first born, they wake up every one or two hours at night."
"I'm preparing for the future now. Once I get used to it, I won't find it so hard after the children are born."
That's true, but being able to sleep through the night is definitely better than waking up three or four times a night like this.
Xu Junhui's actions go far beyond simply waking up twice every night to turn Huang Qinqin over. Now that Huang Qinqin is further along in her pregnancy, she goes to the toilet more frequently.
He has to go to the toilet two or three times every night, so Xu Junhui basically sleeps in fits and starts all night.
Even though Huang Qinqin repeatedly emphasized that Xu Junhui didn't need to accompany her to the toilet, he wouldn't listen.
Xu Junhui had already made her a stool so she could sit down to use the toilet, and they had also bought an extra flashlight specifically for Huang Qinqin to use at night. So she could manage on her own without any problems.
However, Xu Junhui was still worried. No matter how gently Huang Qinqin moved, he would wake up as soon as she moved.
"but…"
"Okay, it's alright."
Xu Junhui knew what Huang Qinqin wanted to say, so he quickly interrupted her.
"Honey, you're having a much harder time during your pregnancy than I am. I know you're worried about me, but it's okay. I'm strong and healthy, and it won't affect me much if I just tough it out."
"If I really can't hold on any longer, I naturally won't get up anymore, right, my wife?"
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go to bed early. We need to go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow morning."
Seeing that Xu Junhui remained unmoved and insisted on doing so, Huang Qinqin felt both heartache and gratitude.
...
The next day, after Huang Qinqin got up, she saw Chen Zhaodi and Huang Eryuan in the yard.
She asked Xu Junhui with a hint of helplessness, "Did you tell Mom and Dad?"
"Didn't I tell you, I don't need to trouble my parents? I'm going to prenatal checkups alone, why would I need so many people to accompany me?"
Xu Junhui quickly waved his hands to protest his innocence, saying, "No, I didn't! You said you wouldn't tell Mom and Dad, and I definitely won't tell them."
"I haven't been to my parents' house for the past two days, how could I have told them about your prenatal checkup? It really wasn't me!"
Zhang Yumei came out of the kitchen and, upon hearing Xu Junhui's words, smiled and explained to Huang Qinqin, "I told my in-laws."
“After all, this is your first pregnancy, and it’s twins. I thought your in-laws must be very worried, so I called them over as well.”
Chen Zhaodi nodded: "Yes, you have twins. I'm so worried about the test results unless I see them with my own eyes."
"Anyway, it's the weekend, and we're just sitting at home doing nothing, so we came along to go to the hospital with you."
Chen Zhaodi genuinely wanted to see Huang Qinqin's test results in person, which is why she came. After all, Huang Qinqin is her own daughter; how could she not be worried?
However, Zhang Yumei's purpose was not just to reassure Chen Zhaodi, but to have Chen Zhaodi go along to hear what the doctor's advice was.
Zhang Yumei planned to ask the doctor whether, based on Huang Qinqin's actual situation, it would be better to have a cesarean section or a vaginal delivery.
If the doctor says natural childbirth is better, then Zhang Yumei will need Chen Zhaodi to talk to Huang Qinqin and encourage her to exercise more.
Otherwise, given Huang Qinqin's current condition, it would be very dangerous when she actually gives birth.
Since Chen Zhaodi and the others have already come, what can Huang Qinqin say?
Moreover, they came because they cared about her and valued her, so Huang Qinqin was very happy.
The main reason she didn't want them to come was that she felt Chen Zhaodi and the others had finally managed to get two days off, and there was no need for them to travel back and forth for her prenatal checkup.
When Huang Qinqin and her group arrived at the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department, the doctor immediately recognized Huang Qinqin as the pregnant woman upon seeing the group.
This was the first time the doctor, who had worked at the hospital for so long, had seen a pregnant woman come for a prenatal checkup with both her husband's and her own family present. Upon closer inspection, the doctor noticed that there seemed to be even more people this time than the last time.
Given this level of attention, the doctor believes that she will likely find it difficult to forget Huang Qinqin, the pregnant woman, for at least five years.
Because the doctor remembered that Huang Qinqin was pregnant with twins, he ordered an ultrasound examination for her based on his previous experience.
When she returned from her checkup, the doctor took Huang Qinqin's pulse and listened to the babies' heartbeats with a stethoscope.
"The fetal heartbeats are much stronger than last time, which is great. After the ultrasound results come out in a while, we can see how the fetuses that were smaller last time are developing."
"If the size of the fetus is within the normal range, then there is absolutely no problem, and you can rest assured and wait for delivery."
While waiting for the results, Zhang Yumei bombarded the doctor with all her questions.
"Doctor, I'd like to ask if the hospital currently offers a procedure called a cesarean section?"
"Is this surgery dangerous? Will it damage my body?"
"I also want to ask, for twins like Qinqin, is it safer to give birth naturally or via C-section?"
"Also, if Qinqin runs out of strength halfway through labor, can she still have a C-section at that point?"
The doctor was taken aback by Zhang Yumei's barrage of questions and took a moment to reply, "The hospital does offer cesarean sections, but if possible, I would recommend vaginal delivery."
"One reason is that recovery is faster after vaginal delivery. The second reason is that the hospital has only performed two or three cesarean sections, and those were all due to difficult labor when there was no other option."
"I think the pregnant woman is in very good condition. As long as she gets enough nutrition, she just needs to exercise more in the months before delivery to ensure she has the strength for childbirth. Then there shouldn't be any problem with a safe delivery."
"If, I mean if."
"If any complications arise, it is possible to switch to a C-section midway through the process. So we still recommend that you have a vaginal delivery first. If any special circumstances arise, we can then make further considerations."
After listening to the doctor's words, Huang Qinqin lowered her head in shame. She seemed to understand why Zhang Yumei had suddenly asked about the cesarean section.
