Wu Zhaodi: "Doctor Ye, please give me a hand."
Yun Qiao said "hmm" and asked Wu Zhaodi to stretch out her hand. He then placed two fingers on her pulse to feel it carefully.
During the minute that Yun Qiao was taking her pulse, Wu Zhaodi and her mother-in-law, Old Lady Liu, almost held their breath, staring at her face without blinking, both pairs of eyes filled with identical expectations.
When Yun Qiao withdrew his hand, Old Lady Liu immediately asked, "How is it going? Doctor Ye, is my daughter-in-law pregnant?"
"It feels like she's pregnant, but it's still early, probably only about a month old, and the fetus isn't very stable." Yun Qiao said, "Sister Wu, you just said you had your period today, right?"
Wu Zhaodi: “Yes.”
"Is there a lot of blood?"
"Not much, just a little blood."
Yun Qiao nodded and asked, "So, did you feel uncomfortable before you met Hongyu?"
Wu Zhaodi shook her head. "No, I was fine before this, and my periods were normal. After I gave birth to my little girl, I had two periods without any stomach pain, so I felt something was wrong."
Yun Qiao: "Your feeling is correct. Spotting and lower abdominal pain in early pregnancy are very consistent with the symptoms of threatened miscarriage."
When Wu Zhaodi heard this, her eyes immediately turned red. "First, threatened miscarriage? How could this happen? I've given birth to three children, and nothing like this has ever happened to me."
Yun Qiao explained, "Perhaps it's because the interval between your pregnancies was too short. You gave birth in early July, and it's only been less than four months now. Your uterus hasn't fully recovered in such a short time. If you continue to carry a child under such circumstances, there will inevitably be some minor problems."
"Then, can I still keep this baby?" Wu Zhaodi was very confused.
Old Madam Liu declared, "It can be saved! It can definitely be saved! Don't be afraid, Zhaodi. When I get pregnant, I'll kill the old hen at home and make you some chicken soup. I guarantee you'll be strong and healthy! Not to mention one child, even if you're pregnant with two, I can still handle it!"
Wu Zhaodi looked at Yun Qiao and said, "Doctor Ye, what do you think? Is drinking chicken soup helpful for preserving the fetus?"
"It's not completely useless, but it's not very effective. Drinking more chicken soup is good for nutritional supplements, though. Pregnant women should eat more good foods." Yun Qiao said, "Of course, it's best to rest in bed and reduce activity. Don't do heavy work or lift heavy objects, and try not to hold the baby. A three or four-month-old baby weighs at least twelve or thirteen pounds, and it would be bad if you strained your stomach."
"Not doing heavy work or lifting heavy objects is fine, but not holding a child... I'm afraid that's out of the question." Wu Zhaodi looked troubled. "Sanni has only been here a day, and she's really clinging to me. I really can't let go for a moment."
"Zhao Di, you don't have to worry about this. I'm here. I'll take care of the children for you." Old Mrs. Liu patted her chest and took the responsibility of taking care of the children on herself. "I raised Dayong and his four siblings by myself. Just let me take care of the children, and you can rest assured."
Wu Zhaodi was immediately moved beyond words: "Mom, I feel relieved when you say that."
Old Madam Liu smiled and patted Wu Zhaodi's shoulder. "Then it's settled. Sanni, I'll help you take care of it from now on. Just lie down and focus on taking care of your baby. Try to give birth to a big fat boy for our Liu family next year."
"Um."
Wu Zhaodi had given birth to three daughters in a row and had high hopes for the baby in her belly. She hoped that this baby would be carried steadily.
So, after the consultation, when I heard Yun Qiao say that there was no need to prescribe medicine and that I just needed to lie down and rest more, I even felt a sense of emptiness in my heart.
She had already reached the door, still feeling a little worried, so she came over and asked, "Doctor Ye, can I just go home and lie down? Do you really not need to prescribe some pregnancy-preserving medicine or something?"
