Meanwhile, on the other side...
Huo Tingzhou asked Dr. Jiang the same question, his tone quick and urgent.
"Dr. Jiang, my wife had been perfectly fine before and had never vomited."
"I just smelled the whale oil and suddenly started vomiting."
"Also, she can't stand the smell of disinfectant anymore."
Feeling he hadn't explained it clearly enough, he added, "She can't even think about it; just thinking about it makes her gag."
Huo Tingzhou felt a pang of heartache whenever he thought of how distressed she had looked earlier.
"Dr. Jiang, will her vomiting like this have any impact on her health?"
"Wait a minute, don't rush."
Dr. Jiang gestured with his eyes, indicating that he should sit down and talk.
This person just rushed over, looking like the sky had fallen.
To be honest, she was also very startled, thinking something had happened.
"Don't worry, your spouse's situation is normal."
"Is this normal?" Huo Tingzhou hesitated for a moment. "But she was perfectly fine before."
Dr. Jiang said, "The timing and severity of morning sickness vary from person to person. Some people start vomiting as soon as they become pregnant, while others start later."
"Your partner might be more sensitive to this fishy smell, which is why she had such a strong pregnancy reaction."
"When will her condition improve?"
"That's hard to say."
Dr. Jiang reiterated, "Everyone's situation is different; some people only need to vomit once or twice before they're fine."
"However, most people stop vomiting after about three months."
"Of course, there will be a very small number of people who will continue to vomit until the baby is born."
Seeing that Huo Tingzhou's complexion was not good, Dr. Jiang said, "Your wife should just have an acute reaction; it's not a serious problem."
"Try to keep her away from the smell of whale oil for the next few days."
"Find some fresh-smelling things for her, like oranges or lemons."
At this point, Dr. Jiang gave another important reminder.
"Some women experience changes in their sense of smell and taste after becoming pregnant."
"For example, I might like to eat some strange or unusual things, or things I used to like but now I suddenly don't like anymore."
Everything was normal up to this point, until Dr. Jiang added another sentence.
"Including people."
Huo Tingzhou: "People too?"
"Yes." Dr. Jiang said seriously, "I've met several pregnant women before, and they were perfectly fine."
"But I vomit uncontrollably whenever I see my loved one or smell their scent."
"!!!"
Huo Tingzhou's face stiffened.
Dr. Jiang didn't notice any of this, and the sound continued.
"You should also be careful when eating, and don't eat too much at once."
"Eat less soupy or watery foods and try to eat drier foods instead."
"If she still feels nauseous, you can press here for her."
Dr. Jiang pointed to the area between Huo Tingzhou's thumb and index finger, "This is the Hegu acupoint. Press it with a little force; it can stop vomiting."
Seeing that he looked nervous and didn't say anything, Dr. Jiang smiled and said.
"You don't need to worry too much. As long as you don't keep vomiting or vomit to the point where you can't eat anything, you'll generally be fine."
"Go back and try the method I told you. If she still vomits, then bring her back."
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Jiang."
