Shen Lanzhi raised her head and looked at the doctor. “Doctor, do you mean that the babies need to be born prematurely?”
The doctor nodded solemnly. “Yes, it’s best to be hospitalized right now. After a series of examinations, we’ll decide on the date and time of the surgery.”
“S-Surgery?” Zuo Weiyi, who had never experienced this before, was completely confused and did not understand what was going on.
“It will be a C-section surgery. Once pregnancy-induced hypertension appears, we don’t recommend a natural birth.”
Zuo Weiyi was stunned. Her babies were only eight months and seven days old. “But, my babies aren’t even full-term yet! They need to be delivered already?”
The doctor laughed at this point.
“Mrs. Shi, your babies are twins. I’ve told you before that it’s normal for twins to be less than full-term. Moreover, with your current physical condition, if you continue with the pregnancy, your babies’ and your life will be in danger at any time!” The doctor emphasized the last sentence with added seriousness.
Pregnancy-induced hypertension really wasn’t a joke.
It was best to be hospitalized now. Once the examination had been conducted, the operation would be carried out as soon as possible!
The doctor’s words were like a huge rock, weighing heavily on Zuo Weiyi’s heart.
Her brows started to knit into each other as she asked the doctor once more, “Is my life truly in danger? Other than feeling a little dizzy and having trouble sleeping recently, I don’t have any other symptoms that are particularly uncomfortable. Is this all completely necessary?”
The doctor remained relatively calm.
Most pregnant women did not know about pregnancy-induced hypertension, so they are not usually aware about the dangers involved.
“Pregnancy-induced hypertension do not have any other serious symptoms. Its real danger lies in the fact that it can take the lives of you and your children at any moment!” The doctor said seriously. He just wanted to make them to understand the dangers involved!
“Doctor, doctor, as long as you take the children out now, my daughter-in-law and grandchildren will be safe and sound, right?” Shen Lanzhi asked. As long as the mother and children were safe and sound, it would be fine to deliver the children at any time.
“I can’t completely guarantee this, but it will definitely be much safer than continuing with the pregnancy. It’s also your best choice.”
Things were happening too quickly. Shen Lanzhi was also a little uncertain. Nuannuan was also born prematurely. But at that time, she had given birth naturally and did not have any symptoms like pregnancy-induced hypertension.
“She was fine when she came for the check-up two weeks ago. Why did she suddenly have pregnancy-induced hypertension?” Shen Lanzhi frowned in confusion.
“Madam Shi, you don’t have to worry too much about this. This is a normal condition that occurs suddenly in the later stages of pregnancy. That’s why it’s called pregnancy-induced hypertension.” The name really said it all.
“Then, does she have to stay in the hospital in her current condition?” This was too sudden so they were not mentally prepared at all.
“Of course. Fortunately, you come for regular checkups. That’s how you found out in time. Many pregnant women think that the later stage checkups are not important, so they only come for the earlier regular checkups. That’s why many pregnant women have accidents.”
When the doctor said this, Zuo Weiyi’s heart became even more unsettled.
“Then, should we go back and pack our things before coming back?” Shen Lanzhi asked nervously as she looked at the doctor.
Since Weiyi was going to be hospitalized, she definitely had to go back and pack some things.
“I suggest Mrs. Shi to be hospitalized immediately. You can instruct your family to bring the things that you need.”
