"Why have a second child? Pregnancy is hard enough, and giving birth is even harder. We've been through this before, and one child is enough for us. Why should we suffer another one? When the child grows up, we will have to spend more time and effort on him. It's better to raise this one child well. No matter it's a boy or a girl, he will be no worse than others." Gu Zhao said.
Although he had never seen a woman giving birth, he had heard a lot with his ears. How many people had died from difficult labors or heavy bleeding?
These are the results. Gu Zhao didn't even know about the sufferings that one would endure during pregnancy. Although he had never heard of it, he could imagine that carrying such a big fetus in the belly would inevitably change the position of one's internal organs, and one would definitely suffer a lot.
Although Gu Zhao likes children, he will not let Tian Tian suffer many times because of this. He also thinks that one is enough. It doesn't matter to him whether it is a boy or a girl. As long as he educates boys and girls well, it is the same to him.
Besides, there was no difference between one child and two children to her. When she was in the countryside, she had seen many families giving birth to several children at once. As a result, each child was left alone without any care, and the only thing they needed to do was to give him enough food to keep him full and alive.
Gu Zhao didn't want this to happen. The child was his blood and he definitely wanted to educate him well. If he had more children, it would affect his education of the children. So he would definitely give priority to giving the children a complete education and love.
Moreover, family planning is in force now. If someone finds out that you have given birth to a second child, you will have to pay a fine, but if you encounter unreasonable people who force you to go to the hospital and have the child aborted, it will hurt your body. So Gu Zhao finally decided to have only one child.
Tian Tian was a little hesitant after hearing this. She wanted to tell Gu Zhao something, but she was worried that Gu Zhao would not be able to accept it.
"Then we have to use contraception after the baby is born. I heard that girls can now use an IUD to prevent pregnancy." Tian Tian asked tentatively.
"No, you can't go there to get the IUD inserted!" Gu Zhao said immediately after hearing this.
"I've learned about IUDs. They say that an IUD is placed in your body to make your uterus constantly inflamed, thus achieving the effect of contraception. Although it can prevent pregnancy, it is too harmful to you. Putting a foreign object in your stomach will definitely have an impact on your body!" said Gu Zhao.
He had already heard about IUD insertion and felt that it was not a good thing. Moreover, there was something constantly getting inflamed in the body, which was scary to think about. A small wound on your skin that was constantly festering and festered was already bad enough, not to mention that the thing was still inside the body.
Tian Tian was pleasantly surprised. She looked at Gu Zhao and felt that he was glowing. "What should we do? He said that the contraceptive method of using an IUD is more reliable. Even with a condom, there is still a possibility of pregnancy!"
"I've learned a little about it these past few days. They said there's a method of male contraception called sterilization. It causes less damage. It doesn't affect boys' activities after the procedure and they can get out of bed immediately. And the damage is less than that for girls. If we both want to have another child in the future, we can actually restore the sterilization," said Gu Zhao.
Tian Tian's heart was almost going off with firecrackers. She thought it would take a lot of effort to convince Gu Zhao. After all, this matter was beyond people's current concepts, and men also took this kind of thing more seriously.
Now that Gu Zhaoneng has brought it up himself, if anything happens in the future and his parents-in-law ask about it, it will have nothing to do with Tian Tian.
Tian Tian didn't say anything now, but Gu Zhao had already made up his mind to have the sterilization operation. He even found a hospital. "This operation is quite simple and does not require any technical skills. The Central Hospital in our provincial capital can do it. After the baby is born and you have finished your confinement, I will take a day to do the operation. This way, I don't have to worry about you not being able to take good care of yourself during the confinement period."
Since Gu Zhao said so, Tian Tian just rest assured and take care of the baby. Although she is not pregnant yet, neither Tian Tian nor Gu Zhao feel like they are parents. Although they pay attention to it in daily life, they don't have the baby in their belly in their hearts.
Tian Tian did not tell her colleagues about her pregnancy at work, but went about her work as usual. Fortunately, several English teachers have been hired after graduating from universities, so Tian Tian can relax a little, unlike before when she had full classes every day.
By the fourth month, Tian Tian could feel a little bit of pregnancy. First, her lower abdomen became a little hard. Although she was not obviously pregnant, it felt different from the soft abdomen before pregnancy. Tian Tian also began to have pregnancy reactions, such as being unable to wake up every day, not being able to eat, and having morning sickness.
Tian Tian vomits a lot. She basically cannot smell any greasy smell. She feels nauseous as soon as she smells it. She vomits whatever she eats, and sometimes she even vomits acid.
Seeing Tian Tian like this, Gu Zhao felt a little helpless and didn't know what to make for dessert. Sometimes he would ask Tian Tian what she wanted to eat before meal, and then make it for her. But Tian Tian thought that the food was very unpalatable, saying that it tasted different from what she had eaten before and she couldn't eat it at all.
In the end, Tian Tian didn't eat a single bite of the food that Gu Zhao had worked so hard to prepare. This was not a big deal, as Gu Zhao had to cook anyway, and he was very willing to cook for his wife and children.
Seeing that Tian Tian didn't eat anything all day and only lived on water, he felt a little worried. How could Tian Tian's body withstand this for a long time?
Now Tian Tian eats alone, and the two of them replenish the food, but now Tian Tian can't eat at all. The child can absorb the nutrients from Tian Tian's body, but where can the nutrients consumed by Tian Tian be replenished?
Tian Tian became thinner and thinner. Gu Zhao started to ask people around. He first asked his mother and bought a lot of fruits to bring home. Tian Tian did eat them this time, but she only ate fruits, especially oranges, which were the most popular fruit. Tian Tian ate until she turned brown and started to get irritated. Her mouth started to blister again.
Gu Zhao started to worry again. Eating oranges alone was not enough, so he called Lin Meiyu again.
After hearing this, Lin Meiyu immediately sent over some of the dried pickled vegetables she had at home, as well as some frozen pears and frozen mountain red pears.
