1144 Qiao Nan Had the Final Say

No matter what, Qiao Nan had the final say. After ‘waiting’ on Qiao Nan, Zhai Hua took her time to consult the doctor regarding Qiao Nan and the babies.

Luckily, the female doctor replied that they were doing well. “The mother is in good health. It has been nearly five months. One could tell that she has been well taken care of. She did not have significant pregnancy reactions. The mother and babies are doing well. Actually, one could tell that she is having twins. But even so, the babies are developing well.”

The female doctor studied the ultrasound. The babies in the ultrasound were larger than the previous checkup. They would eventually develop to have small hands, legs, noses, and eyes.

“All the data indicates that the mother is doing well, but there is something to take note. The mother is still in the early terms of her pregnancy, so she and the babes are doing fine. When the babies develop and grow bigger, they will need more nutrition. It will be more difficult for the mother to carry twins. Though she is blessed with twins, she will have to withstand higher stress and she may have more pregnancy reactions. Another thing is that mothers with twins will usually go into labor around the ninth month. She would not carry the babies to full term. Therefore, you have to be prepared that the mother will have premature labor.”

In other words, other pregnant ladies only needed to go to the hospital one to two days before their due date.

But for Qiao Nan, she would need to stay at the hospital earlier than other mothers, lest she go into labor earlier than expected and they might be caught unaware.

Having twins was double the joy and double the risk.

“Alright, I understand.” Zhai Hua turned serious. “We will definitely go to the hospital many days before the due date.” It was alright to spend more money. What was important was that Qiao Nan and the babies were safe.

Previously, Zhai Hua was ecstatic that Qiao Nan had twins. Now, it dawned on her that it was indeed happy to have two babies in the family, but it would be hard on Qiao Nan to carry twins.

After all, unlike other pregnant ladies, Qiao Nan had to go to school every day and take part in social practice. She had to work hard for her studies and scholarship.

Now that Qiao Nan was pregnant with twins, she must be feeling the pressure.

Qiao Nan was only twenty-one years old this year. Zhai Hua felt sorry for Qiao Nan and her heart ached for her. “Nan Nan, don’t worry. Everything will be alright. We will take good care of you. Don’t feel pressured. If you have anything that you want to do, tell us and we will do it. Nothing is more important than the twins that you are carrying.”

Qiao Nan remained silent and she looked serious. Zhai Hua felt that Qiao Nan must be worried due to the doctor’s words.

Qiao Nan forced a smile at Zhai Hua’s words of comfort. “Sister Zhai Hua, I understand. I am fine. It is just that it is too sudden. I am still coming to terms with it.”

Qiao Nan had a bitter smile on her face. “As you know, I am young and I am going to be a mother of two all of a sudden. Sister Zhai Hua, I am afraid that I don’t know how to be a mother and I won’t be a good mother. I fear…”

She feared that she would be muddleheaded like Ding Jiayi. What should she do if she hurt her children in the future?

Qiao Nan was enveloped by helplessness. She had an impulse to abort the babies. If she did not have any children, she would not have the chance to hurt them in the future.

Qiao Nan broke into tears at this thought.

She longed to have a baby in her two lifetimes. She could not bear to abort them.

She would rather die than lose her baby.

Qiao Nan cried uncontrollably. In no time, her face was soaked with tears. Zhai Hua was scared stiff. “Nan Nan, don’t cry. Don’t be worried. We are not afraid at all. Everything will be alright. You are such a good person, and you are so good to us. Why will you mistreat your children? You will be a good mother. Don’t frighten yourself. Don’t cry anymore.”

Zhai Hua did not know how to console people. She panicked and rushed to wipe Qiao Nan’s tears. She looked at Tian Dong, asking for help.

Since Zhai Hua was helpless, as a man, Tian Dong was all the more clueless. “Doctor, what do you say?”

The female doctor handed a tissue to Qiao Nan, while she advised Zhai Hua. “In fact, she did not suffer from a serious case of pregnancy reactions. Pregnant ladies will have mood swings and they will tend to cry or lose their temper. There might be all sorts of situations. This is very common. As her family, you must learn to reassure her and prevent her from having mood swings. This is not good for the mother and the babies.”

“A pregnant woman will be sensitive and tends to think too much. I believe you should have heard that many women may suffer from postpartum depression. This is not limited to ladies who gave birth to their babies. It also applies to pregnant mothers. Therefore, you must be patient and good-tempered when you are with pregnant ladies.”

One must treat a pregnant lady as the queen, wait on them, and make them happy.

Although the female doctor did not say it, Zhai Hua understood her intended meaning. “Doctor, rest assured. We will definitely do that. Nan Nan has been doing well since her pregnancy. It might be that she is still in shock upon learning that she has twins. Therefore, she has mood swings. I understand what needs to be done. By the way, will it be better if the husband spends more time with her?”

“Is the husband not around?” The female doctor was surprised. It was no wonder that the sister-in-law accompanied the pregnant lady during the two visits to the hospital. She had indeed never seen the husband.

Zhai Hua was proud yet sorry at the situation. “My brother is a soldier. He rarely gets to spend time at home or accompany my sister-in-law.”

There was a look of respect in the female doctor’s eyes. “I see. It will be good if the husband can spend more time with her. Of course, as the family who gets to spend more time with the mother, it is more important that you take good care of her and reassure her.”

“Thank you.” Now that she knew that Qiao Nan was having twins, Zhai Hua posed a lot of questions to the doctor to learn more about Qiao Nan’s situation. She made sure that she clarified all her queries. The female doctor also reassured Zhai Hua that if she had any doubts or she thought of other questions, she could always call her on the phone. It was then that Zhai Hua finally felt that she could call it a day.

The female doctor had to pay more attention to Qiao Nan on account of Doctor Wei.
