Chapter 193 The doctor said it was a false pregnancy
Wang Xiulan rubbed her hands nervously, sat down carefully in front of Chu Yue, rolled up her sleeves and put her wrist on it. Because she was too nervous, she put her hand on the wrong place.
Chu Yue reminded her, "Sister Wang, you're wrong. Change your hand. Don't be nervous. I promised to treat you. As long as I can treat you well, I will do my best."
"Okay... okay... I'm not nervous, I'm relaxed... I'm relaxed..." Wang Xiulan murmured and placed her other wrist on it.
But how can I say that I am not nervous?
Wang Xiulan is almost thirty years old this year and has been married for almost ten years. In these ten years, she has never had a child, let alone gotten pregnant.
The only time was when she hadn't had her period for several months and suddenly she started liking sour food again. She thought she was finally pregnant and was so happy.
She kept the secret for three months, thinking that the baby was unstable in the first three months and she couldn't tell anyone. After the baby was stable, telling others the news of her pregnancy would definitely scare them.
She wanted to let those who looked down on her and thought she couldn't have children see that she, Wang Xiulan, could also get pregnant and have children!
However... the final result was just a false alarm.
Because the doctor said it was a false pregnancy.
Wang Xiulan had never heard such ridiculous words in her life. There were fake goods and fake medicines, so how could pregnancy be faked?
The doctor explained to Wang Xiulan, "When a person wants to get pregnant too badly, the body will sense this strong desire and undergo a series of physiological changes. For example, the absence of menstruation and the craving for sour foods are all caused by your brain controlling the body, creating the illusion of pregnancy, hence the name false pregnancy."
Symptoms of false pregnancy are most common in animals, such as rabbits.
It is a rare case in humans.
Such a rare case actually happened to Wang Xiulan, which is enough to show how strong her obsession with getting pregnant and having a child is.
In the years that followed, as she grew older, Wang Xiulan felt that her hope of becoming pregnant and having a child was becoming increasingly slim, so even the symptoms of false pregnancy no longer appeared.
But every time someone in the compound became pregnant, she, who always loved the hustle and bustle, would secretly hide at the outermost edge of the crowd.
Whenever her sisters-in-law took the children to and from school, she tried not to show up as much as possible, so as not to see the bustling atmosphere in other people's homes, which made her feel sad.
She suffered like this for a long time and almost gave up on herself in her heart. After all, she was a woman who could not get pregnant, just like a hen that could not lay eggs.
Chu Yue placed her fingers on Wang Xiulan's wrist, closed her eyes, and carefully felt Wang Xiulan's pulse.
A few minutes later, Chu Yue frowned and looked serious.
Something is wrong.
Wang Xiulan is not sick.
According to Chu Yue's diagnosis, Wang Xiulan's internal organs are quite healthy, her body is full of blood and qi, and she has no illness or pain. Perhaps it is because her hometown produces red dates and walnuts, and she has eaten them since she was a child, so her physical foundation is particularly good. She does not have the lack of qi and blood, coldness and weakness that most women have, but she does not have any of them.
Since there are no problems, how is it possible that you can't have a child for ten years?
Chu Yue slowly opened her eyes, looked at Wang Xiulan solemnly, then closed her eyes again and concentrated once again.
This time, Chu Yue not only checked the pulse, but also gathered the spiritual power in the portable space on her fingers, entered Wang Xiulan's body, and conducted a second examination.
Maybe there was some difficult problem that she had overlooked.
Wang Xiulan saw Chu Yue’s tightly furrowed brows, and her heart felt heavy and uncomfortable, as if a stone was pressing on it.
It is very likely that this time her efforts will be in vain again, and she is destined to be childless in this life.
Wang Xiulan felt a sharp pain in her heart. At this moment, a warm current suddenly flowed from her wrist to her heart, silently soothing the pain.
This feeling... is so strange...
When Chu Yue opened her eyes and was still frowning in thought, Wang Xiulan was still in shock and cheering, and had no idea what was going on.
After careful consideration, Chu Yue asked Wang Xiulan, "Sister-in-law Wang, you haven't gotten pregnant in all these years. You must have seen many doctors. What did they say?"
"I've seen it, I've seen a lot! I haven't seen doctors in big hospitals, old doctors in the village, or even blind fortune tellers. I've tried both Western and Chinese medicine. Don't worry if you laugh at me. I've even drunk the talisman water from the temple, but I can't get pregnant. I just can't."
"At the beginning, I was still young, and the doctors said I was in good health. They told me not to be too impatient and to wait a few more years. If fate brings opportunities, I will get pregnant. If I am too impatient, I will not get pregnant."
"I just listened to the doctor and didn't get impatient. I just waited year after year, year after year... In the blink of an eye, I'm already 27 or 28 years old. How could I be impatient? People my age have already given birth to three or four children, and the older ones can even work in the fields!"
"Every time I see a doctor, they tell me I'm in good health and I'll definitely be able to get pregnant, and they won't even prescribe me any medicine. Sister Chu, I just can't get pregnant, so how can I not take medicine?"
When Wang Xiulan talked about her experiences over the years, she felt a constant stream of grievances in her heart. Normally, she didn't dare to tell anyone because she wanted to save face. But now that Chu Yue asked her, it was like a hole was opened, and all the emotions that had been suppressed over the years burst out.
She and Chu Yue's relationship was definitely not close, but Chu Yue's identity as a doctor and her gentle and natural attitude made Wang Xiulan unconsciously let down her guard and tell everything that was on her mind.
"Sister Chu, you don't know how much pain I feel... There are so many women in the compound, one or two of them are pregnant, there is always someone pregnant... Why can't I get pregnant... I, Wang Xiulan, do like to take advantage of others, but this is my only bad flaw. I have never done anything that harms the world. Why doesn't God let me have a child, even if it is a daughter... I want a child, I am almost going crazy... Sister Chu, tell me, what disease do I have? What medicine should I take to have a child?... Money is not a problem! If I can't have a child, I am not a complete woman. Even if I have to sell everything I have, I will come up with the money..."
Wang Xiulan became more and more excited as she spoke. She stared at Chu Yue with her eyes and clenched her hands tightly, completely treating Chu Yue as her last and only hope.
This urgent pleading made Chu Yue feel uncomfortable.
Because Chu Yue had to tell Wang Xiulan what she had heard countless times before.
"Sister Wang, judging by your pulse, you have a very good physical foundation. Age isn't a problem. You are at the optimal age for conception. You can get pregnant naturally without spending money on medication."
To put it another way, Chu Yue’s words are - you are not sick.
