After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1726 Pregnancy Encyclopedia

Qiao Mei had no choice but to give up the struggle and follow Xia Fang to the hospital for a full-body checkup. After a long and busy day, the results of all Qiao Mei’s physical examinations showed that there were no issues and that she was very healthy.

“Aunt, can you tell if there’s one baby or two? Boy or girl?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

Xia Fang looked at Qiao Mei suspiciously and asked, “Why are you asking this?”

Based on her own work ethics, she did not discuss this aspect of the baby with pregnant women and their families. In this era, sons were favored over daughters. Most families would decide on an abortion once they found out that the baby was a girl. There were times when they even refused to listen to her advice and both the mother and child ended up dead. This happened so many times that Xia Fang was greatly affected by it.

“I just want to know if I’m pregnant with twins again. I want to know the type of clothes to sew and whether I should prepare things for a boy or a girl. I’ve already given away everything that Xia Fan and Xia Xing used, so I want to get a new set for this child,” Qiao Mei said calmly.

Seeing that Qiao Mei was not thinking of getting an abortion, Xia Fang said honestly, “This time, it’s only one baby, a boy and he looks to be very healthy. It’s just that he’s already a little too big. Don’t eat anything too nourishing for the time being. I’m worried that it’ll be too tough for you during childbirth if he gets too big.”

“Does that mean I can only eat light dishes?” Qiao Mei asked nervously.

The baby had probably absorbed too much energy from Qiao Mei’s body, causing him to be slightly bigger than a normal baby at this stage. Qiao Mei had no way of controlling this.

“Just eat normally, but don’t pick favorites and then keep on eating it. That way, you’ll easily cause harm to your own health. Eat a combination of meat and vegetables,” Xia Fang said.

“Alright, I understand,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

Xia Fang was still worried about Qiao Mei and wrote down a list of things for her to take note of. She only stopped after writing three full pages. It clearly stated what Qiao Mei should do every few months. She wrote down everything that Qiao Mei could and could not eat. She was just short of detailing the exact grams of food that Qiao Mei needed for every meal.

“Aunt, if we combine the information in these sheets of paper and the letter you wrote to Xia Zhe the last time, we can probably publish a pregnancy encyclopedia,” Qiao Mei said to Xia Fang as she looked at everything written on the papers.

“That’s true! Why didn’t I think of this!” Xia Fang said in surprise.

At this moment, there were not many books on pregnancy knowledge and the care of pregnant women. Some of the books were not even up to standard. If she could author a pregnancy encyclopedia, it would allow pregnant women and their families to better understand what they should and should not do during the pregnancy. This way, there would be fewer patients coming to the hospital.

“Aunt, I think that you can definitely do it,” Qiao Mei said.

“Thank you for your kind words, but before that, you still have to read everything I wrote and strictly abide by it,” Xia Fang said sternly.

“Alright! I’ll definitely take note of everything Aunt says!” Qiao Mei said.

“Also, don’t stay in the military family compound once you get to the eighth month. It’s too far from the capital. If anything happens, we won’t be able to come to your side immediately,” Xia Fang said worriedly.

“Alright, I’ll consider coming home to rest during that time,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia Fang brought Qiao Mei to her office. Some time ago, the high school principal had come to look for her to ask if Qiao Mei was going back to school. The college entrance examination was going to resume next year. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and Qiao Mei must not miss it.

“Do you want to go back to school?” Xia Fang asked.

“Yes! Of course! I’ll go when school starts this semester!” Qiao Mei said excitedly.

With Qiao Mei’s capability, she actually did not need to go to school to get into the best university. However, that would look too phony and it would not be good if someone went to run an investigation on her. She would not be able to explain why she had amassed so much knowledge.

Furthermore, Xu Ju’s family had been eyeing her. There was also Shi Rui now. Xu Jiao had studied for so long and might not even be able to pass the college entrance examination. No one would believe that Qiao Mei, an “illiterate person”, could get into the best school in one try.

In order not to let anyone get something on her, Qiao Mei could only return to the capital to study earnestly. It was actually not a bad thing to return to school. She could experience the joys of school days again.

“It’ll be tough for you since you’re also pregnant. If it’s too difficult, you can actually take the exam the year after,” Xia Fang said.
