Pregnancy Care Guide

Actually, at first, Bai Xunyin didn’t plan to have a child soon after getting married.

Although many newlyweds long for the feeling of being parents, for her, she felt it wasn’t the right time.

Before getting the marriage certificate, she had already discussed with Yu Luoyin, “Let’s consider having a child in three years.”

They were only in their mid-twenties now, not even thirty in three years. It wouldn’t be too late to have a baby then. They were still young and should focus on other things first. Bai Xunyin had a clear plan for her future and didn’t like unexpected things happening.

And Yu Luoyin readily agreed, “Sure.”

After all, he also enjoyed their life together as a couple. 

Why would they need a child? The noise and trouble caused by a child would only annoy them, and it would distract Bai Xunyin’s attention. 

It wasn’t worth it.

They were both quite satisfied with their agreement, but they didn’t expect this argument to be broken soon.

Neither Bai Xunyin nor Yu Luoyin expected that they would be so quickly attracted to the idea of having an offspring.

It all started because accidents happen.

One time, during a weekend at home, they couldn’t resist being intimate on the couch while lounging around.

When they were both breathless, Yu Luoyin, still clear-headed, was about to get up to get protection. However, his slender waist was hooked by a fair and tender foot.

“It’s okay…” 

Bai Xunyin’s voice was soft, her ivory-white face blushing, her watery eyes looking at him, “It’s the safe period.”

They both liked ‘seamless’ contact. During the safe period, they usually didn’t take precautions.

Yu Luoyin knew her cycle, even ‘like the back of his hand’, but he was a bit worried, “It’s the last two days, is it okay?”

Better safe than sorry, he didn’t want Bai Xunyin to suffer from taking medication or anything like that.

The girl found him nagging and impatiently shook her head, “It’s okay.”

There was a hint of ‘why are you so fussing’ in her beautiful eyes.

“Damn it.” 

Yu Luoyin couldn’t help but curse, feeling like his kindness was being taken advantage of—however, it didn’t matter. 

He could ‘retaliate’ elsewhere and have fun.

But they didn’t expect that this ‘fun’ would cause trouble.

About a month later, Bai Xunyin suddenly felt dizzy while sitting in the laboratory, observing electronic quantities and writing experiment reports.

She frowned slightly and subconsciously reached out to grab the back of the chair behind her.

“Bai, are you okay?” 

The intern who was recording data was startled and asked anxiously, “Are you feeling unwell?”

For a moment, Bai Xunyin didn’t know why she felt both dizzy and nauseous, furrowing her brows and shaking her head, but unable to speak.

Could it be because the cafeteria food was too bad at lunch? 

Why was she feeling nauseous?

Bai Xunyin went to the pantry from the lab, drank two cups of warm water, took a few deep breaths, and barely calmed down the turmoil in her stomach.

But she still felt uncomfortable.

She pressed her slender hand against her flat abdomen a few times, pursed her lips, and unconsciously began to recall the last time she had her period.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

“Fanny.” 

Bai Xunyin’s fingernails involuntarily sank into her palm, pretending to be calm as she asked her colleague for a leave, “I have something to take care of, I’ll be gone for two hours. Can you help me inform the director?”

“It’s okay, but…” 

Fanny looked at Bai Xunyin’s slightly pale face with concern and said worriedly, “Xiao Bai, are you feeling unwell?”

“No, no.” 

Bai Xunyin thought of the possibility and stumbled in her speech, forcing a smile, “It’s just something at home.”

Instead of driving to the hospital where Yu Luoyin was, Bai Xunyin turned the steering wheel towards another comprehensive hospital.

While waiting in line to register and waiting for the examination, her slender fingers unconsciously tapped her knuckles.

She rarely had such a chaotic mind, for a moment she couldn’t say whether she felt more upset or happy, nor could she tell whether she was hoping this was a mistake or if she was really pregnant.

It wasn’t until almost an hour later, after she had finished all the examinations and was about to see the doctor, that she regained her senses.

“Congratulations.” 

The male doctor with glasses glanced at the test report and immediately smiled at Bai Xunyin, “You’re already two weeks pregnant.”

Bai Xunyin was stunned, two weeks?

“Based on the timing of your last period, you should have conceived about a month ago.” 

The doctor’s eyes behind the lenses were full of kindness, “The embryo looks very healthy.”

Bai Xunyin was still in shock, two weeks?

“Thank you, Doctor.” 

Bai Xunyin was still in a daze, her response sluggish.

Then she watched as the doctor wrote her a prescription, recorded the times she needed to take the medication daily according to the doctor’s instructions, and noted what foods she could and couldn’t eat.

Finally, Bai Xunyin regained her senses and thought for a moment before asking, “Doctor, I work in physics and often need to go to the laboratory. Will it be harmful to the fetus?”

“I’m not sure what you have in your laboratory,” the doctor smiled, “but things related to chemical and physical elements, as well as radiation and such, are best kept away from.”

Bai Xunyin nodded, having a general idea.

Of course, she had to make sure of these things because she wanted to protect her baby.

Although this little angel came unexpectedly and not according to plan, it was still the crystallization of her and Yu Luoyin’s love. There was no reason not to want it.

After understanding this, she felt relieved.

After leaving the hospital, Bai Xunyin drove to pick up Yu Luoyin from work. Along the way, whenever they stopped at red lights, she would unconsciously touch her abdomen.

As if vaguely, she could feel the lively life beneath her skin.

Thump, thump.

Whether it was the little one or her own heartbeat, it was beating rhythmically.

Bai Xunyin rarely did things like picking him up from work, so when Yu Luoyin, coming out of the hospital, saw the familiar car and the woman leaning on the steering wheel inside, he couldn’t help but be surprised.

He walked over and knocked on the car window with a smile, somewhat teasingly, “Did the sun rise from the west?”

Bai Xunyin got out of the car but didn’t joke with him. Her expression was somewhat solemn, quietly looking down.

“What’s wrong?” 

Yu Luoyin was puzzled for a moment, then asked seriously, “Did someone bully you?”

…

Bai Xunyin wanted to laugh.

“Yeah,” she pointed to her abdomen, lips curved with a meaningful smile, “Someone is making me restless, I can’t even eat properly.”

Being pregnant was really troublesome. She started having morning sickness just two weeks after conception.

This time, Yu Luoyin was completely stunned, looking somewhat dumbfounded, as if he couldn’t understand what she was saying.

“I just went to the hospital.” 

Bai Xunyin smiled and took his hand, placing it on her stomach, gently asking, “Do you feel anything?”

Yu Luoyin closed his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Without saying anything, Bai Xunyin knew he was excited. Perhaps all first-time parents felt this way—joyful yet anxious.

“Yinyin, don’t blame me.” 

After a while, Yu Luoyin regained his clarity and spoke in a low voice, “I didn’t mean to be careless.”

Bai Xunyin didn’t expect him to say this as the first thing, blinking in surprise.

“It’s okay… The doctor said it was about a month ago.” 

Bai Xunyin smiled a little embarrassedly, “I calculated the safe period wrong.”

“But it hasn’t been three years yet.” 

Yu Luoyin pursed his lips, looking at her somewhat anxiously, “Do you want it?”

‘It’, naturally referring to the baby.

“Of course I do.” 

Bai Xunyin said naturally, “Although I like to plan things, how can we plan for something like this?”

The baby wasn’t an accident; it could only be considered a ‘gift’.

Upon hearing this, Yu Luoyin finally relaxed and smiled. He couldn’t help but lift the girl up and gently kiss her, “Wife, I really love you.”

This sudden confession clearly showed his excitement.

In the parking lot, people came and went. Many of Yu Luoyin’s colleagues from the hospital saw this scene and were somewhat surprised, stopping in their tracks, and some even whistled teasingly.

Yu Luoyin then smiled and let her go.

Bai Xunyin blushed, pinching him, “What’s gotten into you?”

“I’m about to be a dad.” 

Yu Luoyin shrugged, smiling brightly with a ray of sunshine, “I’m ecstatic.”

With that, the next day, almost half of Yu Luoyin’s colleagues at the hospital knew that he was going to be a father.

But during this process of becoming a father, while everyone initially felt excited, Ji Huiying, Gu Yan, Yu Yuan, and even Yu Shitian, Ning Shumo and the others… all were overjoyed.

But when it was quiet at night, only Yu Luoyin knew the unknown suffering behind this joy.

For example, the inability to engage in intimate activities.

Compared to Bai Xunyin becoming more and more difficult to serve, willing to throw tantrums, unable to eat this or that due to morning sickness, and only being able to eat food he cooked, etc., this was really uncomfortable.

Finally, after enduring for three months, when he wanted to ‘indulge’ a little, Ji Huiying came to accompany Bai Xunyin again.

Living under the same roof, Yu Luoyin naturally didn’t dare to be reckless in front of his mother-in-law, so he had to endure it with grievance.

“Little one.” 

When they had the chance to be alone, Yu Luoyin would occasionally touch Bai Xunyin’s still flat abdomen and smile helplessly, “You’re making it hard for your old man.”

“Shh.” 

Bai Xunyin leaned against the head of the bed, her smile peaceful, “Not good for prenatal education.”

…

Pregnancy made Yu Luoyin stop speaking incoherently even occasionally.

…

The day the little one was born was early November. Yu Luoyin had already arranged everything in the hospital, and there were enough people waiting outside the operating room to form a football team.

Because it was a ‘little junior’ from the Yu family, even Yu Luoyin’s grandfather came in person, waiting for his great-grandson to arrive.

Yu Luoyin naturally accompanied Bai Xunyin in the delivery room, watching her pale face, covered in sweat, he could only hold her hand and gently comfort her.

“Yinyin, be good, it’ll be over soon.”

It turned out that giving birth was such a painful thing, as if all the organs, bones, and joints in the body were displaced.

Bai Xunyin couldn’t say anything, she could only close her eyes and furrow her brows. She stubbornly refused to cry out, but occasionally there would be a hint of pain leaking between her teeth.

In a daze, she even felt like she was about to die.

But what would be regretful if she didn’t do anything before she died?

For a moment, Bai Xunyin’s mind cleared up, and she struggled to open her eyes. Through a thin layer of mist, she looked at Yu Luoyin, who had the same pale face.

“Yu, Yu Luoyin…” 

Bai Xunyin’s voice was weak. After saying this, Yu Luoyin hurriedly leaned closer. 

He only heard her whisper, unexpectedly confessing, “I love you very much.”

From high school to separation, to reunion, to marriage, it had been almost ten years. But Bai Xunyin had never said the word ‘love’ to him before.

Her first time saying it was in this delivery room, at her most painful moment.

Tears welled up in Yu Luoyin’s eyes uncontrollably.

At this moment, he finally completely understood a saying: A woman only willingly bears a child for a man when she loves him to the core.

Fortunately, the little one didn’t cause too much trouble. With the baby’s cry, Bai Xunyin finally deeply understood the meaning of ‘relief’ for the first time. She let out a long sigh of relief.

Her whole body relaxed, and with misty eyes, she stared blankly at Yu Luoyin.

“Yinyin, it’s a boy.” 

Yu Luoyin leaned down to her ear and gently said, “His name is Yu Baiqi.”

He had already thought of the name beforehand.

If it was a boy, he would be named Yu Baiqi. If it was a girl, she would take Bai Xunyin’s surname and be named Bai Yuqing*.

*T/N: Qing means “to adore”

Because Yu’s feelings for Bai were deep, he admired Bai for eternity.

Inheriting each of our names, I want the meaning of ‘I adore you’ to be embedded.
