The next day, Yu Qian first took Liu Yun to the department store. After taking leave from work in the morning, the two of them headed to the hospital after lunch.
This was Liu Yun's first time visiting an obstetrics and gynecology clinic, and she felt a little embarrassed and awkward. Although she was already married, she still felt that she wasn't actually that old. And indeed, her body wasn't very old; she was only nineteen in a month, just starting university in the 21st century.
The gynecologist was a woman in her fifties who, after taking her pulse, said confidently, "Although the pulse is still very weak, the pregnancy is likely imminent." Only when they received the result did the two of them feel relieved.
Although she had this suspicion, she was still somewhat shocked to find out. And according to her mother-in-law's memory, it should have been triplets. Even though the babies were likely born safely, she was still flustered. She pursed her lips, grabbed Yu Qianhe's hand, and stammered, "Then...then what should I do?"
Yu Qianhe noticed her nervousness and gently patted her back.
Seeing her like this, the old doctor smiled kindly and said, "Don't worry, is this your first pregnancy?"
"Um."
"It's still early in the pregnancy, and the pulse isn't very strong yet, probably only about a month into the pregnancy. The first three months are the most important to be careful about. Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity, as well as any injuries or bumps. If possible, eat well, as you're eating for two. You can eat more now, as the fetus needs nutrition to develop."
But seeing that the two were dressed well, and the husband's loving gaze towards his wife was genuine, he added, "But once your belly gets bigger, you should eat smaller, more frequent meals, and don't eat too much, so that the baby isn't too big and it will be difficult to give birth."
As doctors, they've seen all sorts of family members, and they can usually tell a lot about a woman just by looking at her attitude towards her. This husband clearly cares about his wife, and she's happy to offer him some advice. But if it's someone who doesn't care about his wife, no amount of talking will help. They're all women, and they know best how hard it is for women in this world. Things are a little better now, but it used to be much harder.
"What's your job?"
"In the finance department."
"Sitting in an office isn't a big problem, as long as you're careful and avoid crowded places to prevent collisions. Also, it's best not to wear tight leather shoes, especially in the later stages of pregnancy, as your legs may swell."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
Seeing that Liu Yun was less nervous, Yu Qian also relaxed. "Doctor, are there any dietary precautions we should take?"
"You can eat more fish, meat, eggs and dairy products. You should try to get as much nutrition as possible. But you should avoid foods that are too cold or have a cooling nature, such as crabs, turtles and almonds."
"Are there any ways to relieve morning sickness in the future?" When his sister-in-law was pregnant, she vomited so much that she couldn't bear to eat anything and was afraid that Liu Yun would be like that too.
"Morning nausea is hard to avoid. If you feel really uncomfortable, you can prepare some sour plums or preserved plums and suck on one when you feel nauseous, which may help. Of course, some people like spicy food and will eat hot sauce. It depends on personal taste. You will experience morning sickness when you get pregnant. However, it is hard to say. Some people do not experience morning sickness. Everyone's constitution is different, and the symptoms of various pregnancy reactions are also different. So don't worry too much and just let nature take its course."
"You are in the early stages of pregnancy now, and it's your first time, so there are many things you need to be careful about. But if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, please don't try to bear it. You can come here and I will take a look at you. Don't be too active, be careful, and pay attention to safety. And most importantly, you shouldn't have sex in the early stages of pregnancy."
One sentence made the two expectant parents blush bright red. The senior doctor laughed when he saw this, saying that young people are just funny.
"According to regulations, pregnant women are allowed to have a pound of dates and a pound of peanuts. Would you like them?" she asked as usual.
"Yes, thank you, doctor."
She knew that eating red dates during pregnancy could replenish blood, but she didn't expect that she could also eat more peanuts. She had quite a lot of peanuts in her space, and she could plant more later. The jujube trees were also in bloom, and she would be able to eat them in a few months. Anyway, she would definitely be able to eat them before her postpartum period. Although it was the first time, the fruit would not be plentiful, but with six jujube trees, it would definitely be enough for her to eat.
The beehives under the jujube tree were almost full of honey, but she dared not take any out; she could only add a few more beehives. Her thoughts drifted away.
Yu Qian carefully helped Liu Yun downstairs to get red dates and peanuts from the nurse. Seeing his careful manner, Liu Yun couldn't help but laugh, "There's no need to be so dramatic, I'm not that fragile."
"No, I'm worried."
On the way back, Yu Qian rode very slowly but steadily. When he arrived home, his father had not yet come home from get off work and told his mother the news.
Yu's mother was indeed all smiles. You have to know that Yu Qian is already twenty-five this year. In this day and age, people his age usually have children who are already old enough to grow soy sauce. Moreover, Yu's mother also really likes triplets.
Putting aside their good looks, the triplets would always send over nice things whenever there was something good. Although she knew that her daughter-in-law had asked them to send them, it still couldn't stop Yu's mother from loving her grandchildren.
Although she said she wasn't biased, even five fingers can be different lengths, and Yu's mother clearly favored the triplets the most.
When Yu Qian's father returned and heard the news, he smiled broadly, mainly because Yu Qian was getting old.
Having raised so many children herself, Yu Qianhe's mother was quite knowledgeable about pregnancy precautions, so he received a long list of parenting tips. He nodded earnestly, wishing he could write them all down in a small notebook, word for word.
After that, whenever Yu's mother bought meat, eggs, or nutritional supplements, she would bring them over. Even when she had nothing else to do, she would come over every few days to see if her daughter-in-law needed anything. Chen Xi and Gao Lan were so angry when they heard this from their son that they almost smashed their bowls; the old couple were just so biased.
