Looking at the due date, Su Tiantian and Liu Jingze were full of confusion. This expectant father and mother did not know that the due date was calculated in this way.
The doctor's original words were: Clinically, when a woman becomes pregnant naturally, the gestational age is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period, and the expected date of delivery is about 280 days (40 weeks) later.
So the doctor calculated that Su Tiantian's due date was January 21st in the Gregorian calendar, which is December in the lunar calendar. According to traditional customs, this child was born in the same year of the marriage.
The doctor also said: "Even if it is a single baby, the birth may be early or delayed. If it is twins, it is likely to be early. 37 weeks is considered full term."
Of course, I hope they can be born full-term. Su Tiantian touched her belly, hoping that the two babies can stay in her belly until full-term before being born. I heard that if the weight is too light, they will have to be put in an incubator.
Grandma Lu laughed happily: "I can't believe my Jingze got married at the beginning of the year and became a father at the end of the year. These two children are sensible. They know that parents should give out two red envelopes during the first year of their marriage. They were born before the Chinese New Year. Are they trying to earn back the red envelope money?"
"Giving out two red envelopes during the Chinese New Year" is a local custom. It means that when a married couple celebrates the New Year together for the first time, they have to give two red envelopes to the unmarried person. The amount does not have to be high, it is just for good luck.
When Grandma Lu said this, she certainly wasn't sad about giving out the red envelopes. She was just happy that she could have a grandchild during the Chinese New Year.
Liu Jingze said: "If the birth is according to the due date, then the Chinese New Year will coincide with the month of confinement, but it is possible that it will be earlier."
Liu Liangjie said, "Don't be afraid, Tiantian. We will hire the best obstetrician, put you in the best ward, and hire two nannies to take good care of you and the baby. We happen to have a house near the hospital, so it will be convenient for you."
The best ward that Liu Liangjie mentioned, Su Tiantian heard a pregnant woman mention it when she went for a check-up. It costs 1,200 yuan a night, plus an additional 300 yuan a day for expert fees, which is equivalent to 1,500 yuan a day. This price is quite expensive.
A caesarean section costs only a few thousand yuan without social security, and even less with it. A VIP room at 1,500 yuan a day is incredibly expensive, right? A farm attendant's monthly salary is only enough for three nights' accommodation.
Su Tiantian said, "Do we need to hire two confinement nannies? I heard someone say that even twins can have one."
Liu Jingze said, "It would be better to hire two. After all, hiring a confinement nanny is only for one month, and it will cost a little more money. Or you can hire a confinement nanny and a nanny, plus Sister Lan, I think they can take good care of you and the baby."
Grandma Lu said: "I am old, otherwise there would be no need to hire a nanny, I can take care of the children."
Liu Liangjie said: "Actually, I can also take care of the child, but Jingze will have to work harder."
Su Tiantian smiled: "I guess Dad will take better care of the child than Brother Jing."
Liu Jingze said unconvincedly: "If Ma Yiqian can take care of the baby, why can't I? I will learn more from the confinement nanny when the time comes."
Su Tiantian said: "I have maternity leave, and I will learn how to take care of the child. I don't need to hire too many people."
Liu Jingze said: "I asked the doctor, women must be careful during the confinement period. You should take care of your body first and then take care of the baby slowly."
Liu Jingze's thoughtfulness made Su Tiantian feel warm in her heart.
Grandma Lu said, "Is Tiantian still vomiting frequently now?"
Su Tiantian nodded.
Liu Jingze was also worried: "She eats plain porridge without vomiting, but she can't eat plain porridge every meal. It's not nutritious enough. She has to eat it again after vomiting. The doctor actually said her vomiting is not too serious."
Liu Liangjie said: "I remember Jingze's mother vomited for almost a month before she stopped."
Su Tiantian thought that she had only been vomiting for a week and became worried. It was really a very uncomfortable feeling.
Liu Liangjie said, "Take your time. I'll change the dishes for you. Tell me what you like to eat and I'll definitely arrange it if I can. If you want to eat something in the evening, ask Jingze to have someone make it. Don't cook it yourself."
Su Tiantian said, "I don't want to wake up Brother Jing."
Liu Liangjie said: "Your brother Jing should have taken good care of you."
Liu Jingze said: "Tiantian actually said that I should sleep in the guest room. How can I sleep there?"
Although she felt bad that her grandson didn't sleep well, Grandma Lu didn't approve of Liu Jingze sleeping in the guest room: "You work so hard, what's the harm if he gets less sleep? Besides, he works at his own farm and company, so he can rest during the day."
Liu Jingze said: "I am smart now. When Tiantian sleeps, I sleep with her. When she wakes up, I wake up with her."
Liu Liangjie smiled: "Tiantian has been sleeping around 7 o'clock lately. Can you sleep well?"
Liu Jingze said: "I've gradually adapted to it, so now I usually don't work overtime."
Liu Liangjie said, "Okay, after all, I just want to skip the farm duty tonight. Ah Xi and Ah Yang will go. Is that okay? You can spend more time with Tian Tian. I haven't told your Uncle Xiao about Tian Tian's pregnancy yet. I think he'll scold his son if I tell him."
Grandma Lu laughed heartily: "He will probably urge A-Bo and Hui-Lin to find a partner and get married quickly every day."
Liu Liangjie said, "There's a birthday party in a couple of days. It's actually a blind date party. A-Bo might go. Jingze, several of your friends have received invitations too. You should go too."
Liu Jingze said: "Isn't it good for me to stay at home with Tiantian? I'm married now and don't want to go."
Liu Liangjie spread his hands and said, "Your Uncle Zheng wants you to go with Ziyang, and your Uncle Xiao wants you to go with Abo. In fact, it's not just a birthday celebration, nor is it just a blind date party. Many people who want to do business and get orders will go."
Su Tiantian said: "Brother Jing, then you go, I'll be fine at home, I guess I'll want to go to bed again around seven o'clock."
