I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s-Chapter 489 - 488: Good News

The responses to pregnancy vary according to individual constitutions. But since Beisitian is not experiencing any reaction now, it should be because the pregnancy is still in its early stages; general pregnancy reactions usually appear after forty days.

Beisitian discovered it early, so for now, only a blood test can confirm it, and it might still show a weak positive. Therefore, unless the person is very experienced, it would be hard to tell she’s pregnant, and even taking the pulse wouldn’t be too certain at this stage.

This pregnancy was quite unexpected. Although Beisitian and Luo Xudong had agreed to let nature take its course beforehand, they didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. Consequently, Beisitian wasn’t prepared at all.

The next day, Dong Fengzhen brought a pregnancy care plan to Beisitian, which she had drafted overnight.

"Take a look. Although you are a Mystic Doctor, this is your first time having a baby, so I was worried you might not have much experience. I drafted a plan for you, and you might have some improvements on it yourself," Dong Fengzhen said with a smile.

"I appreciate the effort, dear in-law grandmother!" Mrs. Qin said, looking at the long list filled with words. She was delighted in her heart; Little Tian’er’s newly found maternal grandmother was indeed very nice!

As Beisitian took a look at the plan, she found that from now until delivery, it contained very detailed instructions, including what reactions might occur at each stage, the child’s growth conditions, and precautions for each period, all thoroughly listed!

Beisitian was filled with joy and expressed her heartfelt thanks to Dong Fengzhen; such a list couldn’t be written without careful thought!

Dong Fengzhen smiled and said, "You must pay extra attention with your first child. After becoming pregnant, you’ll often feel tired, but you must not be lazy. It’s slightly better in the early stages, but in the middle and later stages, you can’t just sit idle; you need to move around more, or else it will be difficult to give birth. Moreover, generally, after three months, you’ll start to eat, but you mustn’t overeat; you have to control your appetite because overeating makes giving birth difficult..."

These words from Dong Fengzhen were also written on the list, but she was still not reassured and began to instruct bit by bit, especially regarding these early pregnancy matters.

Beisitian listened with a smile throughout, indeed benefiting greatly. Although she was not as knowledgeable in this area, lacking the rich experience of Dong Fengzhen, she was naturally open to learning.

Mrs. Qin also listened on the side. While she didn’t understand much of the technical terminology, she grasped the precautionary measures, remembered what could and couldn’t be eaten.

In fact, during her own pregnancy, there wasn’t so much fuss; it was all rather rough and careless. But it’s different now; Beisitian is inherently meticulous and particular. Honestly, Mrs. Qin didn’t want to mistreat Beisitian. Back then, the conditions didn’t allow, but now they do, so it’s only right to keep up with the times.

It must be said that Mrs. Qin is an exceedingly open-minded and insightful mother-in-law. If not for the emotional knots of earlier years, most daughters-in-law would get along well with her.

There were some aspects that Mrs. Qin didn’t understand, so she asked Dong Fengzhen to clarify in person. Seeing her continuously learning and remembering, Dong Fengzhen silently gave her a thumbs-up. Anyone with such a mother-in-law is truly fortunate.

However, Beisitian herself is a good person, and when two good people meet, life just grows more prosperous!

Dong Fengzhen didn’t stay for lunch, despite Mrs. Qin and Beisitian’s insistence for her to stay. Currently, with Mrs. Qin taking care of the large family, she didn’t want to stay and create more chaos.

After Dong Fengzhen left, Mrs. Qin began tidying up the house. Seeing her, Beisitian smiled and said, "Mom, let me do it. I’m not that delicate!"

Mrs. Qin continued tidying up while saying, "Delicate or not, in the first three months, you shouldn’t do work that raises your hands; it’s easy to strain your belly, like pulling curtains and such. Let Xudong do it, and I’ll do the rest when I come over."

Beisitian chuckled, "Mom, if this continues until I give birth, I’ll be a big fat person!"

Mrs. Qin snorted, "You won’t get fat; you’re too skinny. If the in-law grandmother hadn’t said you’re still okay, I would think you’re too weak."

Beisitian argued no further with Mrs. Qin, but she truly didn’t plan to make herself too delicate, as that wouldn’t be good for her body or the baby. As for the lifting tasks, there was some basis for it; it’s better to be cautious during the first three months.

Luo Xuping squatted beside Beisitian, looked at her belly, and asked, "Sis, is my nephew living in there?"

"Yes."

"Such a small space, can he fit in there?" Luo Xuping widened his eyes, gesturing with his hands at how small it seemed!

Beisitian covered her mouth and laughed, asking, "How do you know it’s a nephew? What if it’s a niece?"

Luo Xuping was taken aback; he had spoken without thinking, and now he couldn’t explain why he said so.

"A niece would be great too. Thinking about it, a niece seems better than a nephew," Luo Xuping said, scratching his head.

Mrs. Qin raised her leg and gave him a kick, "Go on, go play with Zhuangzhuang."

Having children was naturally better with boys, as they carry on the family line... but girls shouldn’t be bad either, especially since they came from Little Tian’er’s belly!

Nowadays, it’s not only people in the countryside, but even city folks mostly prefer boys over girls. It’s a traditional custom that has been cultivated by the Chinese from ancient times to the present, and Mrs. Qin is naturally no exception.

However, Mrs. Qin has witnessed Beisitian’s capabilities firsthand, so even if it’s a girl, with such a capable mother as Beisitian, it wouldn’t be bad. It’s just that she won’t carry on the family name, as future children would take another surname!

Mrs. Qin sighed; nothing could be done about this circumstance. No matter how capable a woman is, she eventually marries. But if the daughter is truly like Little Tian’er, bringing glory to both natal and marital homes, that wouldn’t be too bad.

While Mrs. Qin was contemplating, she ultimately still felt a boy would be better. However, whether it’s a boy or a girl, they would still be her own grandchildren. Thinking that a little life would come into the world in just a few months, Mrs. Qin was filled with joy.

Luo Xudong came home early for the past two days, bringing with him some good news.

"Really?" Beisitian couldn’t help but ask.

She couldn’t fully relax and feel happy about the pregnancy just because of the presence of certain people.

"Yes, those people’s ambitions and appetites are vast. I discussed with the old army chief for a long time and concluded that for them to develop, it would take at least six years before they could emerge on the Mainland."

Even six years is considered short. This group probably wants to gain everything all at once. While it’s all speculative, the time needed will undoubtedly be long; it aligns basically with Zhou Biwu’s findings.

After Zhou Biwu woke up, he disclosed everything he had uncovered. However, Wu Yuekai wasn’t involved in this mission, so he didn’t know much. These were things Zhou Biwu privately revealed to Wu Yuekai, for the sake of Beisitian’s presence.

They knew that as soon as Beisitian appeared, those people would surely target her, not to mention...

Zhou Biwu naturally had many things he couldn’t share with Wu Yuekai, and he didn’t plan to either.

In any case, this was good news for Beisitian, giving her ample time to prepare and some time to raise her child.
