Chapter 121 Post-Wedding Extra: Baby (Part Two)
the next day.
As soon as Jiang Wan got up, she took the pregnancy test and went to the bathroom.
The result is still the same as last night: two lines.
Furthermore, the two stripes are more vibrant in color.
It's almost a done deal.
Jiang Wan was not surprised by the result; she only took the test again to feel more at ease.
When she came out of the bathroom, Zhou Chong had already changed his clothes.
"How is it?" Zhou Chong asked as he walked toward her, fastening his cufflinks.
Jiang Wan held up the pregnancy test stick in her hand. "Same."
Zhou Chong stared at it for a moment, his eyebrows curving slightly. "Okay, let's get ready to go to the hospital then."
Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctor ordered blood tests and an ultrasound.
Because the blood test was done on an empty stomach, Zhou Chong first accompanied Jiang Wan to have breakfast after the blood test, and then they came back for the ultrasound.
I've received the blood test results. The HCG and progesterone levels are both normal, and the test results confirm pregnancy.
I'm still waiting for the ultrasound report.
Jiang Wan sat on a bench in the corridor, holding the blood test report in her hand, and nervously crumpled the edges of the paper.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Chong took the blood test report from her hand, flattened it, and placed it beside him. "You were so calm before, but now that you've confirmed your pregnancy, you're starting to get nervous?"
“…Hmm.” Jiang Wan nodded, grabbing Zhou Chong’s hand and unconsciously squeezing it tighter. “I suddenly remembered that I drank some alcohol last night. Although it was just one sip, and I immediately spat it out, I don’t know if there was any residual alcohol…”
Jiang Wan frowned. "What if it has a bad impact on the baby's development? And I was running and jumping around yesterday, could that affect the embryo's position?"
Before this, Jiang Wan was indeed quite calm about learning that she might be pregnant.
On the one hand, it was because she had been mentally prepared in advance; on the other hand, she had not realized what pregnancy meant before coming to the hospital for a check-up.
Seeing the various numerical indicators on the blood test report, lying on the ultrasound examination bed, and feeling the probe moving and examining her abdomen, she finally felt a sense of reality.
It turned out that a little life was already growing inside her.
And her every move will affect the growth of this little life. This is the first experience of becoming a mother.
With responsibility comes worry.
"It's okay, the blood test results are all normal, aren't they?" Zhou Chong held her hand back and gently massaged her tense fingers.
"But the blood test report only shows that I am pregnant and that my progesterone levels are normal, but it doesn't show the embryo's development."
"We'll ask the doctor when the ultrasound results come out." Zhou Chong held Jiang Wan's hand in his palm, warming her slightly cold hand with the warmth of his own. "Don't worry."
Jiang Wan sensed the warm, damp temperature emanating from the back of his hand and knew that Zhou Chong was also nervous. Since last night, his usually dry and warm palms had been slightly damp.
When I woke up in the morning, I noticed he still had faint dark circles under his eyes.
But the way he comforts himself now still makes him look so calm and composed.
Jiang Wan pursed her lips, no longer letting herself let her imagination run wild, and said, "Mm."
Not long after, the ultrasound results came back.
Zhou Chong took out the report, turned around and smiled slightly at Jiang Wan, "The imaging diagnosis is all normal."
"Really?" Jiang Wan took the order and carefully read it from top to bottom.
Although she couldn't understand many medical terms, and the embryo images were a jumbled mess of light and dark, she still couldn't make sense of them.
"We need to go see a doctor right away."
The two returned to the consultation room.
The doctor took the blood test report and ultrasound report. "It's all good. It's an intrauterine pregnancy, more than 6 weeks pregnant. The shape of the embryo can already be seen. It's a single live fetus, very healthy, and the implantation location is good."
Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked with concern, "Doctor, I didn't know I was pregnant yesterday. I accidentally drank a little bit of alcohol and then vomited. Will it have any lasting effects?"
"It's a minor issue, nothing serious. Everything seems fine so far." The doctor handed the report back to her. "You need to be careful in the future. You absolutely must not drink alcohol, and you can't move around too much, especially in the first three months when the fetus is still unstable. You have to be extremely careful."
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Wan nodded vigorously.
The doctor then turned to Zhou Chong and said, "Family members should also be very careful. Walk slowly and do not lift any heavy objects. If you have severe morning sickness and can't eat, eat less. It's okay. Don't rush to take supplements. Meat and oily foods will make you more prone to morning sickness."
“Yes, I understand.” Zhou Chong nodded as well.
"Alright, that's all. You can go back now. After 12 weeks, go to the obstetrics department to register and then come for prenatal checkups on time."
"good."
"Thank you, doctor."
The two walked out of the consultation room, and Jiang Wan looked at the report in her hand, finally showing a relieved smile on her face.
Zhou Chong walked beside her, looking at her curved eyebrows and eyes, and smiled along with her in a good mood.
"Oh, right, Zhou Chong." Jiang Wan suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Hmm?" Zhou Chong raised his eyebrows to look at her.
"The doctor said I'm over six weeks pregnant," Jiang Wan said, pointing to the diagnosis on the ultrasound report. "If we count the dates, it's exactly the time you just came back from New Zealand, right?"
That was the first time they hadn't used protection, but it was during their safe period, and Jiang Wan originally thought it wouldn't be so easy for her to get pregnant.
Who knows...
Jiang Wan couldn't help but mutter, "How did I get it on the first try?"
Zhou Chong raised an eyebrow, bent down slightly, leaned close to Jiang Wan's ear, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Are you questioning my abilities?"
The tone rises at the end of the sentence, conveying confidence.
A warm breath tickled her ear, and Jiang Wan blushed, quickly pushing Zhou Chong away. "We're still outside!"
Zhou Chong smiled, grabbed her hand, pulled it into his arms, and hugged her tightly. "The doctor just said that you can't move too much. You have to be very careful."
"Where is it bigger?" Jiang Wan leaned against him, raising her eyes to glare at him.
"Pushing me that far away, isn't that a bit much?" Zhou Chong raised an eyebrow and hugged her even tighter. "That's what you call being careful."
Jiang Wan glanced at him, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Let's go, what kind of behavior is it to be hugging and cuddling in the hospital?"
"They look like a married couple."
Zhou Chong answered naturally, and continued walking out with his arm around Jiang Wan.
