Chapter 507: Chapter 507: Particularly Severe Morning Sickness
“Based on your situation, you mainly need to avoid exams with significant radiation for now. That means no X-rays, CT scans, MRI, and so on. I’ll take you to have some blood work, gastroenteroscope, heart, liver and lungs examinations—those that don’t involve radiation,” the Female Doctor led her to the Physical Examination Center, explaining as they went, “Radiation can lead to fetal malformations, you know that, right? At home, try to minimize using your mobile phone and stay away from the computer. If you really need to be near a computer for a long time, I suggest you buy some radiation protection clothing to wear.”
“Okay, got it,” Chi Enen listened carefully and with seriousness, “Is there anything else I need to be especially careful about?”
“Something to pay special attention to… that would be what I told you last time, try to avoid vigorous exercise. Besides that, there’s nothing much to worry about.”
“Overall, a woman’s immune system is at its weakest during pregnancy, so you must take extra care. Otherwise, once the child is born, they might suffer from lingering health issues. Also, pay attention to your diet. You should consume less of foods like hot pot and seafood that are spicy and cold in nature. There was a pregnant woman who came in last time, who loved eating hot pot during her pregnancy, and as a result, her child was born covered in a rash. They’ve been to all the hospitals but still can’t find a solution…”
Hot pot, seafood… Chi Enen committed these to memory.
“Alright, go have your blood drawn. I’ll wait for you here,” the Female Doctor, having a rare moment of leisure and fond of Chi Enen’s personality, was very gentle.
There weren’t many people getting blood drawn at the Physical Examination Center now, and with the Chief of Gynecology having informed the Nurse responsible for collecting blood samples, she was the first to skip the line and get it done.
Different from last time, it didn’t take very long after her blood sample was collected for her to receive her report.
“Just like what I saw yesterday, there’s a slight case of anemia—you need to get more nutrition,” the Female Doctor put away the report and led her to the next location, “Let’s go, on to the next examination.”
Gastroenteroscope, heart, eyes, oral cavity, liver… after going through all this, Chi Enen’s face grew paler and paler. She couldn’t stand the smell of the hospital’s disinfectant water, which was particularly strong in the examination center, mixed with the bloody smell coming from the blood test area. The nausea she had barely suppressed was surging back.
Having barely completed the last examination, Chi Enen didn’t manage to return to the outpatient clinic with the Female Doctor. She had already rushed to the restroom and started vomiting intensely…
The Female Doctor patted her back for a few minutes, but seeing no signs of improvement, she hesitated before saying, “I’ll take the report back first; come over when you feel better, alright?”
Chi Enen, reduced to vomiting to the point where tears were welling up in her eyes, and with a churning stomach, had hardly any energy to respond to the Female Doctor; she could only nod.
The Female Doctor, having gone through childbirth herself, knew that morning sickness was not a serious issue for a pregnant woman and would pass after a while. Seeing that she had nodded, she felt reassured and left with the examination report towards the outpatient clinic.
Chi Enen’s stomach churned violently, having held it down for so long, it seemed like it wanted to unleash everything at once. Vomiting exhausted all her strength.
Only after a grueling round did the ordeal end, and she leaned against the restroom wall, finally feeling some relief and ready to rinse her mouth and recover a bit.
To her dismay, hardly a minute had passed before her stomach started churning again.
With no time to recover, she bent over once more and began to vomit—
