Chapter 94 Renting a House
Tong Yao, who was planning to move, suddenly felt her legs give way and nearly stumbled, "Ugh, I’m not pregnant."
Li Nuanchun burst out laughing, her eyes narrowed into tiny slits and her facial features bunched together from amusement, "Oh! Younger sis, even though I’ve never given birth, I’ve watched many others do so. Your pregnancy is a good thing. You do not have to hide it from us. We’re all looking forward to the baby’s birth and receiving some sweets as well."
The younger generation today is just so thin-skinned, feeling embarrassed to announce their pregnancies. In stark contrast, in her generation, word of a pregnancy would circulate among friends and relatives throughout an entire village. Pregnancy is something to celebrate and should be shared with everyone to spread the joy.
Li Nuanchun spoke teasingly with a ’you can’t fool me’ expression, chuckling, "Did you get your period?"
Tong Yao:...actually, no.
"See, I told you you’re pregnant, and yet you still denied it. You haven’t had your period yet, isn’t that what pregnancy is? In my opinion, you should quit your job immediately and stay at home to rest, careful not to move recklessly until your placenta is stable."
Something crossed her mind and she pulled Tong Yao aside, whispering only loud enough for the two of them to hear: "Younger sis, let me tell you, the first three months of pregnancy are crucial and the baby is not stable yet. So, you and Doctor Si need to be careful at night. I recognize that both of you newly-weds are still in the honeymoon phase, but you cannot be careless about this matter. Ignorance might result in consequences as severe as future infertility."
Her cousin from her mother’s side was a victim of such a circumstance; robust and strong typically; she suffered a miscarriage due to negligence during her pregnancy. Ever since then, she hasn’t been able to get pregnant. The doctor stated that her body got hurt, and she wouldn’t be able to have children in the future.
