Chapter 1254: Chapter 1257 Obstetrics and Gynecology (5) Chapter 1254: Chapter 1257 Obstetrics and Gynecology (5) Lu Weixi was stunned, “I’ve already had a blood test done.” Blood tests were required at the beginning for things like blood sugar, blood lipids, blood pressure, and some liver indicators.

“This blood test is different from that one,” said the internist, still using the stethoscope to listen to her lower abdomen before swiftly writing up an order. “Go on.”

Lu Weixi took a look; it was a request from obstetrics and gynecology. She suddenly became a bit panicked, recalling her recent nausea, vomiting, and aversion to the smell of fish. Her voice trembled slightly, “Doctor, are you saying I might be… pregnant?”

The doctor remained calm, “What else? There’s already a fetal heartbeat. If it’s not pregnancy, then what is it?”

“This, this is impossible!” Lu Weixi was indeed flustered. Not to mention the precautions she and Qin Zhiyou had been taking, either through medication or other measures, and she had her period last month, hadn’t she?

“Doctor, I had my period last month.”

The doctor asked further, “Was your period normal? Was there a lot of bleeding? How many days did it last?”

Lu Weixi thought about it, “Not much, it usually lasts six days, but that time it was only one or two days.”

The doctor was very composed, “There you have it, that wasn’t your menstrual cycle but rather an early miscarriage. This child is nearly three months along, the heartbeat is very clear. Since there’s a sign of threatened miscarriage, you’d better hurry to get a blood test and an ultrasound to make sure the baby is safe.”

Lu Weixi, completely stunned, hastily took the doctor’s order to the obstetrics and gynecology department for an examination. In reality, no examination was truly needed, it was merely a psychological comfort. Calculating the time, the child was likely conceived during those last few days. Perhaps it was a failure in their contraception, or possibly the medication had expired.

Lu Weixi took the doctor’s order for a blood test, got her blood drawn, and waited on the side.

It would take another hour for the results to come out. Lu Weixi sat in the hospital holding her number slip. This was the obstetrics and gynecology department, so there were many pregnant women coming and going. Many were accompanied by their husbands, like the couple sitting next to her. The wife looked heavily pregnant, her belly significantly rounded, constantly holding her waist. Her husband held her hand, carefully guiding her to a vacant seat next to them.

The husband said, “It’s been eight months already, not long until the birth. When the due date is close, we’ll bring you straight here. Plus, we’ve already reserved a postnatal care center and arranged for painless childbirth, so you won’t suffer much and the baby can be well fed.”

The wife was still a bit nervous, “But painless childbirth and the postnatal care center cost quite a bit of money.”

“Don’t worry, as long as you’re healthy. We can always make more money, and having a good confinement will make your life much easier later on.”

Lu Weixi glanced at them again; the couple wasn’t dressed particularly lavishly, likely not wealthy. Postnatal care centers in Yan City are quite trendy; a month’s stay costs at least fifty thousand. Able to spend so much on his wife’s confinement, she felt a slight envy.

Before leaving, the wife’s shoelace came undone. She tried to bend down to tie it but struggled. Ultimately, it was the husband who bent down and tied it for her. For some reason, this scene made Lu Weixi suddenly recall the last time Qin Zhiyou helpfully bent down to apply medicine to her sprained ankle.
