Live-in Son-in-law
Chapter 803 803: Prenatal Anxiety
The child hasn't been born yet, but the name has already been decided.
Qin Ping'an, Xia Pingluan.
Although the name is a bit masculine, both Qin Yi and Xia Yanbing are very satisfied.
Xia Yujiang and Dong Jinsu have arrived, and they seemed noticeably nervous when they saw Qin Yi, acting quite timid.
According to Qin Wan'er, the elderly couple has been coming to see Xia Yanbing often recently. They've truly repented and haven't caused any more trouble.
"Mom and Dad, you're here," Qin Yi greeted them proactively.
Xia Yujiang and Dong Jinsu quickly nodded, their hands too nervous to know where to put them.
"Husband, it hurts..." Xia Yanbing suddenly gripped Qin Yi's arm, her face full of pain.
Qin Yi was frightened, "Wh-what's going on? Is it time to deliver? Quick, call the doctor..."
Dong Jinsu hurried forward, looked at Xia Yanbing's belly, "Xiaobing, relax, everyone don't panic, it should be contractions, take deep breaths, relax..."
Dong Jinsu is the only one here who has given birth, so she is experienced and quite useful at times like this.
However, to be safe, they still called the doctor, and indeed, it was contractions.
"Contractions are a prelude to labor. Someone should stay with the pregnant woman, and call us immediately if there's any issue," the doctor instructed.
Qin Yi nodded, "Thank you, doctor."
"Wife, how are you feeling now? Still in pain?"
Xia Yanbing shook her head, "A bit still, but not as painful as before."
"Let me massage for you..."
Xia Yanbing pushed Qin Yi's hand away and reproached, "Contractions, is this something you can massage away?"
Qin Yi looked embarrassed and turned to Dong Jinsu, "Mom, we have no experience, so we'll have to trouble you a lot."
Dong Jinsu smiled and nodded. Qin Yi being so forgiving and treating them kindly is already a huge favor.
"Brother, when I went out to call the doctor just now, I saw Brother Dong and the others outside the ward," Qin Wan'er said, remembering something in her panic just now.
"Husband, go check it out. You can't be of much help here anyway."
Qin Yi smiled wryly, true. He had faced death countless times without fear, yet he was terrified when Xia Yanbing screamed in pain, completely at a loss.
"I'll go take a look, be right back."
...
...
Qin Yi stepped outside, and Liu Zhanyuan, Dong Zhiping, Zhang Wenhao, and Jin Wenchang were all there.
"Mr. Qin?"
The four of them looked shocked to see Qin Yi, quickly bringing their things over, excitement all over their faces.
They hadn't seen Qin Yi in a long time.
"Long time no see, how have you all been?" Qin Yi asked with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Qin, we've all been well," Liu Zhanyuan replied, as respectful as ever.
Dong Zhiping said, "I saw Wan'er rushing around for a doctor just now, is everything alright?"
Qin Yi shook his head, "It's nothing, just contractions. We were clueless and got into a frenzy."
"Should I get some professional caretakers?"
"No need, this hospital has experienced doctors, ready at any call. Plus, my mother-in-law is here, don't worry."
Liu Zhanyuan said, "By the way, we brought these for Miss Xia, not sure if they'll be useful?"
Qin Yi looked at the large bags they held, mostly nutritional supplements.
"We consulted professionals; these are suitable for pregnant women."
Qin Yi chuckled, "Isn't this too much?"
"These can be consumed not only pre-delivery but also post-delivery."
"Alright, I'll take them. I can't leave these days, but after the baby is born, I'll treat you all to a meal. Don't forget to bring red envelopes."
Liu Zhanyuan and the others laughed in unison.
Qin Yi called Qin Wan'er over to take the stuff inside.
"Okay, you're all people who earn millions in minutes, don't let me keep you from making money. Go on, I'll call you first when the child is born."
Qin Yi sent them away.
These people are influential figures in Yinfeng City. Just their presence could attract reporters accidentally.
...
...
"Wife, how are you feeling? Do you feel like giving birth?"
Xia Yanbing rolled her eyes; Qin Yi had asked this countless times since yesterday.
"Wife, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, tell me."
"Wife, how do you feel now?"
"Why haven't these little ones come out yet?"
"Wife..."
"Shut up." Xia Yanbing was at a loss for words, never had she seen Qin Yi so nagging, going on and on nonstop.
"Alright, I won't talk anymore. Wife, don't get mad, stay calm."
But within three minutes, Qin Yi started babbling again.
All the women looked speechlessly at Qin Yi.
"Are you the one having the baby or is Bingbing? Why do I feel you're more anxious than Bingbing?" Lin Hongzhuang said.
"Am I anxious? I'm not anxious at all.
The doctor said yesterday that contractions are a prelude to birth; it's been a whole night, and there have been several contractions.
Does this doctor have any experience? He looks young, could he be an intern?
No, I'll have someone get two experts to take a look..."
"..."
Everyone shook their heads helplessly; Qin Yi was babbling again, he probably didn't even realize how nervous he was.
"Hey, can you sit down and rest a bit, you'll wear out the floor pacing like this," Yun Mengyao teased.
Qin Yi was so anxious he didn't realize Yun Mengyao was joking, and actually looked down at the floor.
"Did you ask the doctor if anyone else takes this long to give birth?
Oh, is the delivery room ready? What if there's no delivery room during delivery?
No, the doctor must be ready, just stay by the door, don't leave."
The women exchanged glances, completely speechless. This is a hospital, they never heard of anyone being without a delivery room during childbirth.
"I think he should see a psychiatrist," Lin Hongzhuang said, frowning at the anxious Qin Yi.
"I've heard that expectant mothers get prenatal anxiety, do men get this too?"
"Qin Yi is a classic case of prenatal depression."
Dong Jinsu cautiously said, "Qin Yi, don't be too nervous. The doctor said Xiaobing is in good health, there won't be any problems."
"Doctor? Where's the doctor?" Qin Yi looked around, suddenly looking very grim, "Where's the doctor? At such a crucial moment, why can't I see any doctor?"
Everyone was stunned, Qin Yi's state was not right.
"Husband? You..."
Qin Yi turned suddenly, startling everyone. He rushed in front of Xia Yanbing, his face so tense that even the muscles around his eyes twitched, "Wh-what's wrong? Wife, where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Xia Yanbing held Qin Yi's hand, soothing him, "Husband, I'm fine. You're too nervous, didn't rest all night, why don't you sit down and rest for a bit."
"I'm not nervous, I'm not nervous at all... I won't rest, I'm not tired at all..." Qin Yi mumbled, beads of sweat starting to form on his forehead.
