Chapter 466: Sudden Abdominal Pain
Seeing Ella stop and clutch her belly with a frown, Eric quickly supported her. "What’s wrong? Are the two little foodies causing havoc again?"
Ella frowned but managed a smile. "Probably... It hurts a bit, though more than usual this time."
Hearing this, Eric was alarmed. He immediately scooped Ella up and carefully placed her on a nearby bench. "Mia, go call Dr. Robinson right away!"
To ensure Ella’s safety, Eric had hired a professional female doctor when she reached seven months of pregnancy, just in case of emergencies.
Lying on the bench, Ella’s face scrunched up slightly. The two little ones inside her were particularly restless. Were they fighting in her belly?
She recalled reading in some parenting books that twins sometimes do "fight" in the womb, though it’s usually mild and harmless. The only downside was that it might occasionally cause the mother discomfort.
Dr. Robinson arrived in a hurry and, seeing Ella lying on the bench, placed her hand on Ella’s belly. "How are you feeling now? Do you feel any downward pressure or pain?"
Ella shook her head. "Not yet..."
Dr. Robinson observed the visibly shifting movements of her belly and smiled slightly. "It’s just the little ones causing trouble. You’ll have to bear with it. You’re only eight and a half months along—it’s too early to deliver."
Ella breathed a quiet sigh of relief, knowing that babies born at eight and a half months were considered premature. Many believe premature babies are more fragile than full-term ones, so she hoped to carry them to term.
"How about we head to the hospital just to be safe?" Eric suggested with a frown. The home wasn’t equipped with adequate medical facilities, and he wanted to ensure the safety of both Ella and the babies.
