My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 283 - 17: Becoming Pregnant Again
Chapter 283: Chapter 17: Becoming Pregnant Again
"Uh, uh..." Lin Xiaoguai leaned over the toilet, throwing up everything she had just eaten.
Shen Chi gently patted her back, anxiously asking, "Wanwan, how are you feeling?"
"Uncomfortable..." Lin Xiaoguai grimaced, sounding somewhat depleted.
Shen Chi reached out to help her up, took a cup from the sink to let her rinse her mouth, then half carried, half supported her out.
"Little Aunt, are you still feeling unwell? I have some preserved plums, do you want them?" Han Xinyu, already a mature fourteen-year-old girl, spoke like a little adult.
Lin Xiaoguai shook her head, just about to speak, when Zheng Cuicui interjected, "Wanwan, could you be pregnant?"
At this comment, everyone present was stunned, and Shen Chi quickly turned to look at Lin Xiaoguai.
Since Wanwan had graduated, they had stopped using contraception. In the past two months, he had hoped, off and on, that Wanwan might be pregnant, but her period had come on time every time, and his attitude had gradually leveled out.
Shen Chi quickly froze again, the hint of joy on his face fading as he shook his head, "No, today is the twenty-sixth, and she had her period on the third."
He spoke confidently, while Han Shouxin, standing by, felt somewhat awkward and coughed twice, turning his head away.
Lin Xiaoguai, also embarrassed but agreeing with Shen Chi’s words, nodded, "That’s right, it shouldn’t be pregnancy."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Cuicui frowned, "Even if it’s not pregnancy, you should still get checked at a hospital. It could be something gastrointestinal. Motion sickness wouldn’t be this severe."
Despite Zheng Cuicui’s mild manner and approachability, she was a professional thoracic surgeon, so when she suggested this, nobody objected, and they accompanied Lin Xiaoguai to the military region hospital.
Because Lin Xiaoguai was unable to ride in a car at the moment, Shen Chi still took her by bicycle.
At the hospital, under Zheng Cuicui’s insistence, Lin Xiaoguai first went to the gynecology department for a blood test. Just as they were about to move to the gastroenterology department, due to the influence of Han Shouxin and Shen Chi’s identities, the lab’s efficiency was maximized, and the test results came out.
"How is this possible?" Lin Xiaoguai looked at the test report in her hand in astonishment, knowing all too well what the hCG index and progesterone levels signified, having been pregnant before.
"Could there be a mistake?" she asked the gynecologist in disbelief, "I just had my period this month, how could I be pregnant?"
The middle-aged female gynecologist was also surprised but still said, "The test results are accurate, but given the low levels of those indices, Mrs. Lin, you must not have been pregnant for long, not even more than two weeks."
Lin Xiaoguai looked dumbfounded, while Shen Chi was the first to react, happy yet couldn’t help worrying, "Doctor, is there something wrong with my wife’s pregnancy? Otherwise, why would she have morning sickness symptoms so early?"
"Morning sickness has no relation to the stability of the pregnancy; it varies by individual. As long as there is no bleeding, there shouldn’t be a problem," the doctor replied.
Yet Shen Chi was still uneasy, knowing how difficult Wanwan’s previous pregnancy had been—she hadn’t been this sick. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
On the way back, Lin Xiaoguai, still touching her belly, was coming to terms with the news. Similar to Shen Chi’s reaction, they had initially been particularly careful when they first stopped using contraceptives. But just when they had finally adjusted their mindset, they were informed of the pregnancy, which was overwhelming amidst their happiness.
Shen Chi was alternating between happiness and worry, fearing complications with his wife’s pregnancy this time.
"What do you guys plan to do now?" Back at Han Shouxin’s house, Zheng Cuicui, who had held her tongue the whole way, finally couldn’t help asking.
"What?" Shen Chi and Lin Xiaoguai both looked perplexed.
Zheng Cuicui glared at them in frustration, "Are you actually planning to have the child? Do you think family planning is just for show? If Shen Chi has a second child, does he still want to work at the Military Department?"
Han Shouxin also nodded, "Although our Han family is prominent in the Capital, committing such act against regulations carries great risk and the consequences could be severe."
"And," Zheng Cuicui turned to Lin Xiaoguai, "why didn’t you wear an IUD?" Knowing that, after one pregnancy, the family planning bureau would enforce it.
"My residency was in the countryside while I was in the county town, so the local women’s director naturally couldn’t reach me, and when my residency moved with my school records to the Capital, no one bothered anymore," Lin Xiaoguai explained somewhat nervously.
Zheng Cuicui said in frustration, "Good, an abortion is so harmful to the body. Everything has been fine for years, why didn’t you just keep it up, and suddenly there’s a mistake?"
