Chapter 729
When she got home, Ye Xingguang was still in shock.
Ye Junqing hadn’t returned yet. Out in the yard, her mother and mother-in-law were sitting in the sunshine chatting. She walked over to ask the two experienced elders if postpartum urinary incontinence was a real problem. She was doubting the exaggerated comments on Weibo.
Bai Peiluan felt a little embarrassed when she heard her daughter-in-law’s question: “Why are you asking about stuff like this, kiddo?”
“Mom, I’m not a kid, I just want to learn from your experiences.”
Bai Lanwu wasn’t as shy and honestly told her daughter: “It depends on the individual. After giving birth to your brother, I had urinary incontinence for two to three years. When I coughed or exercised, I couldn’t hold it in. It was very embarrassing, so I never told anyone.”
“same with me. For a while, if I walked a little fast, I would wet myself,” Bai Peiluan said, recounting her own experiences with the hidden health problems experienced after having children. “Especially right after I gave birth to Junqing, I once woke up feeling the urge to pee. I jumped out of bed and accidentally hit my head on the corner of a cabinet. By the time I got to the bathroom, it was too late. I wet my pants. Junqing’s father even laughed at me, saying ‘how could an adult wet their pants’. I was so angry, I ignored him for days.”
Bai Lanwu shared her indignation: “You were right not to speak to him!”
“Yeah, I didn’t interact with him. Before pregnancy, I only knew childbirth would be painful, no one told us about the other physical issues. When we found out about them, there was no turning back, we could only deal with it unknowingly. Today’s girls are lucky, technology now allows for test-tube babies. We missed out on these good things, born in the wrong era.”
Then, the two sisters started sharing more and more about their postnatal discomforts. By the time Ye Junqing hurriedly returned, Ye Xingguang’s face had turned pale. She went back to her room to drink some water, trying to calm her shocked nerves.
As soon as Ye Junqing entered the room, he noticed that something was wrong, so he strode over to her: “What’s wrong?”
Ye Xingguang clung to Ye Junqing like a scared rabbit, seeking comfort.
“What’s going on?” Ye Junqing asked, worried.
“I’m pregnant.” It should’ve been a joyful news, but after browsing Weibo and hearing her mother and mother-in-law chatting, she didn’t feel happy at all, but rather like a startled bird.
Ye Junqing was taken aback and looked down at her pale face: “What did you say?”
“I had a blood test today. The doctor says I’m pregnant. About ten to twelve days.”
Ye Junqing was stunned for three seconds before suddenly lifting her: “Baby, say that again? You’re pregnant? Pregnant?”
“Yes, you can put me down now.” Ye Xingguang was frightened: “The doctor said I shouldn’t exercise vigorously.”noveldrama
Actually, this wasn’t vigorous exercise at all, but upon hearing Ye Xingguang’s words, Ye Junqing’s nerves jerked and he immediately put her down carefully, afraid that he might harm her.
His hand landed on her lower abdomen, and looking down, the tenderness and joy in his eyes almost drowned her in feelings.
Ye Junqing bent down and lightly kissed her forehead, not hiding his delight at all. “Baby, how can you be so amazing? You said we have a baby and now we really do?”
