During this period, Zhang Yumei often encouraged Huang Qinqin to get up and move around more, so that she could get more exercise and it would be more helpful for childbirth.
However, because Huang Qinqin's belly was so big, she could walk a few steps without feeling her belly sinking down, and her back would ache after walking for a while.
So she often takes a few steps and then sits down or lies down.
Because George's order was finished, she relaxed immediately and felt lazy and didn't want to move.
Zhang Yumei probably felt that exercising was too difficult, which is why she inquired about a cesarean section with the doctor.
If the C-section doesn't cause much harm, I probably won't force her to exercise anymore.
Chen Zhaodi, however, was hearing about cesarean sections for the first time. She said with some fear, "A cesarean section is no good! Making an incision in the stomach, that must be very harmful to the body!"
Cesarean section, cesarean section. Chen Zhaodi felt scared just hearing the name. The thought of cutting open the abdomen was terrifying.
Then he said seriously to Huang Qinqin, "Daughter, I don't care how you are usually, you have to train hard these next few months."
"And you, Junhui, from now on, you're not allowed to ride your bike to pick Qinqin up from work anymore."
"You should walk with her to and from work. It's okay if you walk slowly, but you have to keep moving."
Chen Zhaodi knew her daughter's personality well. Before she got married, she would avoid doing anything except for things she absolutely had to do.
Moreover, when Huang Qinqin is at home, she will never sit if she can lie down, never stand if she can sit, and never walk if she can stand.
After marrying into the Xu family, Xu Junhui and Zhang Yumei doted on her and never forced her to do anything she didn't like.
Even a fool could guess that Huang Qinqin was unwilling to move; otherwise, why would Zhang Yumei have brought up the topic of a C-section?
Xu Junhui and Huang Qinqin were completely humiliated by what they were told. Xu Junhui mainly felt that he hadn't seriously tried to understand the situation regarding pregnant women.
This led him to want to do everything for Huang Qinqin. If something happened to Huang Qinqin because of his indulgence, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Huang Qinqin mainly felt ashamed. In fact, Zhang Yumei had said similar things several times before, but Huang Qinqin would always choose to act cute to get away with it.
Zhang Yumei would soften whenever she saw her like this.
Or perhaps, because Huang Qinqin is, after all, her daughter-in-law, Zhang Yumei was afraid that if she were too forceful, it would upset Huang Qinqin.
But Chen Zhaodi didn't have that concern. If Huang Qinqin dared to outwardly comply but inwardly defy her, Chen Zhaodi's warm yet powerful slap would land hard on Huang Qinqin in no time.
"Mom, I understand. I will definitely supervise Qinqin's exercise more in the future. I won't ride my bike to and from get off work anymore." Xu Junhui was practically raising his hand to swear an oath.
Huang Qinqin smiled sweetly at Chen Zhaodi and promised, "Yes, Mom, I promise you, I will definitely keep exercising from now on."
Despite what Huang Qinqin and Xu Junhui said, Chen Zhaodi was still not entirely reassured.
So she said to Zhang Yumei, "Mother-in-law, I'm afraid Qinqin won't listen to me. You have to help me keep a close eye on her."
“If she doesn’t want to exercise, or if she starts acting spoiled and unreasonable again, come over here right now and tell me, and I’ll teach her a lesson!”
Zhang Yumei nodded: "Okay, I will definitely keep a close eye on Qinqin. Actually, I also have a responsibility. If I hadn't been too hard on Qinqin, she might have already started exercising."
"Oh, I know her too well. You must have told her, but she didn't take it seriously and instead whine to you, saying she'd practice next time, right?"
Chen Zhaodi knows Huang Qinqin all too well; if you ask her for money, she'll give it to you without hesitation.
But if you want her to stay put, she can come up with a whole bunch of excuses to put it off until next year.
Seeing that Chen Zhaodi had settled Huang Qinqin's training arrangements in just a few words, Zhang Yumei couldn't help but sigh: "It's true what they say, one thing can subdue another."
After waiting a while, the ultrasound results came back.
The doctor held up the two test results and compared them with the fetus's: "Look, this fetus has grown a lot since the last one, and it has reached the size of a normal fetus."
"In the later stages of pregnancy, if possible, try to buy some fresh cow's milk or goat's milk for the pregnant woman. This is better than malted milk powder."
"Of course, if you don't have that, you can drink more milk powder and eat more meat."
"The pregnant woman and both fetuses are healthy. If she maintains her current diet and increases her exercise, she can rest assured and wait for delivery."
Hearing the doctor say this, both families were relieved.
During their first prenatal checkup, they were heartbroken to see how small one of the fetuses was, fearing that he wouldn't make it to birth.
......
After leaving the hospital, Zhang Yumei wanted to invite Chen Zhaodi and the others to stay for dinner, but Chen Zhaodi declined.
"No need, we've already bought groceries. Besides, we're not strangers, no need to be so polite."
Huang Eryuan didn't care where they ate lunch today. He looked at Huang Qinqin, who was heavily pregnant, and noticed that she was swaying as she walked.
Feeling particularly sorry for Huang Qinqin, he remembered that Chen Zhaodi had just said she would walk to and from get off work, and he couldn't help but want to plead for her.
He leaned close to Chen Zhaodi's ear and said, "Wife, look how hard our daughter is walking. Is it really necessary for her to walk to and from get off work every day?"
Chen Zhaodi glared at him when she heard his words, but she didn't say anything because Zhang Yumei and the others were still there.
Huang Eryuan fell completely silent after that glance.
When they rode their bicycles home from the Xu family's house, Chen Zhaodi said, "It's not that I don't care about my daughter."
"It's because we feel sorry for her now and don't force her to exercise that we might end up harming her."
"Giving birth is a life-threatening experience for women. Ordinary women usually only have one child at a time, and they are exhausted after giving birth."
"Our daughter is carrying twins! If she doesn't exercise now, she won't have the strength to give birth to two when it's time to go."
Huang Eryuan sighed, understanding in his heart that this was indeed the case.
He thought of Chen Zhaodi giving birth to three children for him, and felt deeply moved: "Wife, thank you, thank you for giving me three children."
Sitting in the back seat, Chen Zhaodi felt her face flush when she heard Huang Eryuan's sudden gratitude. She muttered to herself, "Why is he being so mushy all of a sudden? We're an old married couple."
