Although the next day was New Year's Day, Qi Zhijun had something to do and did not come. After he finished his work, he hurriedly saw Qi Mengmeng and then left.
Qi Huilan was worried about Qi Mengmeng's health, so the meal she cooked was not rich and not much different from usual. However, it was a combination of meat and vegetables, and better than what most people eat.
"Mengmeng, how about I accompany you to the hospital in a couple of days?" Qi Huilan ate half a bowl of rice and couldn't eat any more.
"Mom, we just went to the hospital and asked Granny Wu to check on me. She said I'm fine now, so we don't need to go so often."
It’s not that Qi Mengmeng doesn’t take herself seriously, it’s that Qi Huilan is too anxious.
She can eat and sleep now, so even if she goes to the hospital, it won’t solve the problem. It’s better for her to stay at home and take good care of her health.
Qi Huilan just wanted to ask the doctor to take a look. She would only feel relieved if the doctor said Qi Mengmeng was fine.
"Mom, the weather is bad now. It's really inconvenient for us to find a car every time we go. We can go later."
Qi Mengmeng counted the days and planned to go to the hospital again in a month.
Although Qi Zhijun said that she could borrow a car from her comrades, there were still more than two months before Qi Mengmeng was born, and she would have to go to the hospital at least two or three times. She couldn't borrow a car every time she went.
It is said that favors should be used when necessary. It is definitely not good to always trouble others.
Qi Huilan certainly knew this, but she was worried about Qi Mengmeng and was really concerned.
Qi Mengmeng was in a good mood: "Grandma Wu taught me a few moves. I'll try them after dinner. Maybe the baby's position will be changed and I can give birth more smoothly."
Of course, Qi Huilan also hopes that Qi Mengmeng can give birth to two children smoothly.
Qi Mengmeng only ate one bowl of rice and didn't eat any more. Qi Huilan wanted to serve her another bowl, but Qi Mengmeng refused. She wanted to eat small meals more frequently in the future to prevent the baby from growing too big.
Qi Huilan and Qi Mengmeng spent the Spring Festival of 1977 in a simple manner.
The weather was getting colder and there were two snowfalls outside. Except for Qi Huilan occasionally going out to buy groceries or to call Liu Dajiang, Qi Mengmeng almost never went out.
At the end of the first month of the lunar year, Qi Mengmeng went to the hospital. What Dr. Feng said was no different from usual. He told Qi Mengmeng to pay attention to nutritional supplements and walk as much as possible.
Qi Mengmeng took the opportunity to ask about the caesarean section. Dr. Feng looked at Qi Mengmeng in surprise and asked, "You want to have a caesarean section?"
"I just heard that caesarean sections are now possible. I'm worried that I won't be able to deliver my baby because I have two babies in my belly."
Qi Mengmeng expressed her concerns.
Dr. Feng could understand Qi Mengmeng's idea, but she did not directly perform a caesarean section on Qi Mengmeng.
"There are very few doctors who can perform caesarean sections nowadays. If you are able to give birth, I suggest you give birth on your own."
Qi Mengmeng could tell from Dr. Feng's words that she did not support caesarean section.
What she was worried about was that if the baby in her belly could not be born, the chances of the baby being born safely would be higher if there was a caesarean section.
"Don't worry too much. The midwives in our hospital are very experienced and will definitely keep you and your baby safe."
Dr. Feng comforts Qi Mengmeng.
After leaving the hospital, Qi Huilan said to Qi Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, I think Dr. Feng is very experienced. You should be able to give birth to the baby smoothly. Don't worry."
In fact, Qi Huilan's hands were shaking with worry, but she was afraid that Qi Mengmeng would be scared, so she only said positive things.
Although Qi Mengmeng was scared, she had no other choice but to think positively.
A few days ago, Grandma Wu had touched Qi Mengmeng's belly and said that she was in good condition and asked her not to worry.
Qi Huilan tentatively asked Grandma Wu to go to the hospital to accompany Qi Mengmeng, but Grandma Wu still refused.
Qi Huilan, feeling stressed, couldn't sleep, so she took advantage of the daytime shopping time to call Liu Dajiang.
"I didn't expect having twins would be so troublesome. Mengmeng's belly is getting bigger and bigger. I'm really worried."
"It's all Qi Zhijun's fault. If he hadn't told me that I once had a twin brother, I wouldn't have been so worried."
"I don't even dare to say this in front of Meng Meng, for fear that he might get suspicious."
"Guizhi is not at home either. What if something happens to Mengmeng? What should we do?"
Qi Huilan was really scared. Now she accompanied Qi Mengmeng every night, fearing that something might happen to Qi Mengmeng.
Liu Dajiang was afraid that Qi Huilan would not be able to bear it before Qi Mengmeng gave birth, so he said he would come and accompany her.
Qi Huilan quickly shook her head, realizing that Liu Dajiang couldn't see her, and quickly raised her voice: "No, no, you just work hard at home, I'm here."
Qi Mengmeng is in good condition. Even if Liu Dajiang comes, it won't help. It will just be one more person to worry about. It's better to let him work well at home.
Liu Dajiang felt that Qi Huilan was just idle, but he was afraid that if he said it, Qi Huilan would get angry, so he changed his way of saying it.
"Mengmeng is about to give birth. How are you preparing things for the two children? Do you want me to buy some more fabrics and send them over?"
"No need. The things in the department store here are better than those in our place. I have almost prepared everything."
During this period, Qi Huilan not only cooked for Qi Mengmeng, but also prepared things for the two children.
She prepared a lot of things, including bedding, small clothes, and diaper rings.
Qi Huilan counted on her fingers and found that she had not prepared any toilet paper. These things would be used a lot when giving birth, so she had to prepare them in advance.
With something to do, Qi Huilan didn't bother to complain to Liu Dajiang and hung up the phone directly.
Qi Mengmeng was already calm when she saw Qi Huilan coming home with a big bag of toilet paper.
These days, Qi Huilan almost bought out all the items in the department store. She felt that it was not her who was pregnant and about to give birth, but her mother.
Qi Huilan's pregnancy syndrome is much more serious than hers.
However, Qi Huilan will be calm for several days now that she has something to do.
Qi Mengmeng is almost nine months old, but Gu Guizhi still has no news.
Qi Mengmeng called Political Commissar Liao's office once to ask if there was any news about Gu Guizhi.
Political Commissar Liao said there was no news for the time being and asked Qi Mengmeng to tell him if she had anything to say.
Qi Mengmeng just hoped that Gu Guizhi could come back before she gave birth. She couldn't tell Political Commissar Liao about this.
Fortunately, Qi Huilan was by her side, letting her know that she was not alone.
In the past two months, she listened to Grandma Wu's advice and ate small meals frequently. The child was well nourished and she didn't grow much either. However, her legs had become badly swollen and she couldn't wear her original shoes at all.
Qi Mengmeng guessed that she had gestational hypertension. After she told Dr. Feng, Dr. Feng immediately measured her blood pressure.
Her systolic blood pressure had reached 150 mmHg. Dr. Feng immediately became nervous and thought he should prescribe medicine for Qi Mengmeng to lower her blood pressure.
But Qi Mengmeng disagreed to take the medicine. She was about to give birth and she was worried that the medicine would affect the safety of the child.
