Chapter 878: Consulting a Doctor
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When he arrived on Earth, Ren Baqian arranged for someone to get the eight winged cavalry warriors out of the way and made an appointment to see a gynecologist. After waiting for two hours, he finally met a bespectacled female doctor who was in her thirties.
She was young, but her level was high.
“How are you? Have you eaten?” Ren Baqian was sitting at the table enjoying his food. Seeing his secretary bring the doctor in, he greeted her.
The doctor was a bit stunned as she didn’t expect to be asked whether she had eaten instead of seeing a patient, which was unusual.
“I’m not hungry, thanks. Where’s the patient?” The doctor was discreet.
Furthermore, she had been given some instructions before she came.
Those that were brought in by Ren Baqian’s assistant were the reliable type.
“The patient isn’t here. Please be seated and wait a while as I’m very hungry!” Ren Baqian laughed and continued eating voraciously.
It must be mentioned that the family of chefs that came over earned a huge amount of money.
Ren Baqian felt that he had recovered his weight very quickly during these two trips.
His weight was approaching 150 kilograms again.
Of course, it also had to do with having to live like a sage. Otherwise, every exhilarating session would cause him to lose dozens of kilograms of weight, which nobody could take.
The assistant brought the doctor to the hall, and Ren Baqian continued to eat three plates of noodles and an entire roast lamb before he tightened his belt and picked his teeth as he went out.
He was only half full!
“Hello doctor, my wife is pregnant and her temper is bad. May I know the reason?” Ren Baqian was very polite, and the doctor felt comfortable.
She was brought out from the hospital and, knowing the unusual status of the client, was feeling uncomfortable.
“To understand the condition of the patient, it’s best to see her personally. How long has she been pregnant?”
“More than five months.”
“Are there any other changes besides her bad temper? What about her character, diet, and daily behavior?”
Ren Baqian thought for a while before answering, “She has frequent mood swings, says things that she would not say before, and is also more suspicious.”
The doctor adjusted her spectacles and asked, “Do you spend very little time with her?”
Glancing at that ferocious looking bald head, she sort of speculated.
“I have been busier recently, but I keep her company every night.”
The doctor asked some other questions and then said, “As I haven’t seen the patient, I can only explain briefly. Generally speaking, the reasons why pregnant women behave like this are due to certain causes.
Physiologically, many pregnant women will have different levels of hormone changes during pregnancy, such as increases in progesterone and estrogen, which makes pregnant women sensitive, emotional, and grumpy.
Psychologically, pregnant women also need company. In the early stages of pregnancy, the physical discomfort induced to pregnant women makes some of them unable to adapt to the role change from wife to mother. During this period, the mood of a pregnant woman is often very unstable, easily angered, and highly dependent.
Although your wife is more than five months pregnant, it isn’t uncommon for some people to continue experiencing these changes through this period.
Furthermore, the scope of activity for pregnant women is limited, which can also make them restless.”
Ren Baqian nodded thoughtfully.
“Do not underestimate these changes as it isn’t good for the pregnant woman or fetus if they go on for too long.”
“What should I do?”
“Spend more time with her and be more caring. Eat less spicy and heat inducing food and listen to more music…”
Ren Baqian suddenly jolted.
He had just remembered something and asked, “Does her drinking have any effects?”
He had thought that drinking wouldn’t affect the empress due to her ability to control her body. However, in this case, it was hard to say.
When the doctor heard these words, her eyes widened, she looked incredulous, and she exclaimed, “Of course that isn’t allowed! Even ordinary people know that it isn’t advisable to drink when preparing for pregnancy, let alone after becoming pregnant. Alcohol can cause fetal alcohol syndrome, damage brain cells that aren’t completely developed, and even cause a miscarriage!”
Ren Baqian pulled a long face. Although he had known about the effects of drinking alcohol during pregnancy…
“How much does she drink in a day? No matter how much she drinks, she must stop drinking.”
Ren Baqian estimated it to be two bottles of sorghum wine, which was too much… When he got back, he had to stop the empress… At the very least, he should get her to cut it down by one bottle!
“By the way, after five months of pregnancy, there isn’t much change in the size of the belly. Are there any problems with that?” he asked.
“The conditions of every pregnancy are different. Go to the hospital for a B-scan ultrasound to find out.”
Subsequently, Ren Baqian asked a few other questions before asking the assistant to send the doctor back.
When the assistant returned, Ren Baqian asked her a question, “Is there an erhu shop in this city?”
It was time for Ren Baqian to show his command of “The Moon Over a Fountain.”
…
In the dim moonlight, the empress felt that the space beside her was empty. That guy still wasn’t back from Earth.
There was a red gauze hanging above the couch. Otherwise, she would see the high ceiling and feel uncomfortable.
Although Ren Baqian didn’t observe it, the empress knew her body the best and was naturally aware of the changes in her body.
There was a life growing in her womb and deriving its nutrients from her.
Although the amount was insignificant, it was increasing gradually.
This was a good thing because she didn’t have to worry about her strength reaching the limit for a period of time.
In the short run, she wasn’t thinking of making a breakthrough.
The concept of a child was still strange to her. Suddenly, there seemed to be an additional thing within her, and for a period of time, she was at a loss.
The empress rolled on the couch a few times and found it spacious as there was one fewer person.
She hugged the other pillow and continued rolling. There was a slight smile on her face, and she was in a good mood today.
Through the windows of the palace hall, she could see the sky beginning to brighten.
Since the weather wasn’t bad, she was thinking of going for a stroll in the garden after attending court.
After washing up and as she was preparing to eat breakfast, she felt something behind her. She turned around to see Ren Baqian wearing baggy pants and a T-shirt while carrying bags of various sizes.
“What did you bring me?” the empress asked in anticipation.
“Ding, ding, ding, ding…” Ren Baqian took out a set of underwear that was made of strings. It could be said that what needed to be covered wasn’t covered and that what needed no covering was also not covered.
“Disgusting guy!” the empress exclaimed. “Do you want me to wear that?”
“You can give it a try!”
The empress put her arms on the table to prop up her chin and said, “In that case, you perform a dance first.”
“It’s still early! Don’t you need to attend court?” Ren Baqian smiled.
The empress looked at the clock and said languidly, “Fine, you escape this time!”
After the empress left, Ren Baqian began to assemble some of the things that he had brought back. One of them was a human-shaped family doctor robot with a ceramic upper body and a lower body equipped with caterpillar tracks.
The most important function of this robot was to make an announcement when it sensed alcohol and say, “No drinking during pregnancy!” It could also teach popular science to the empress.
