Grandpa He coaxed in a low voice: Baby, be good!

Chapter 265 Pregnancy Anxiety

Ever since he confirmed that the little girl was pregnant, He Lingting has been in a panic every day, worried about this, afraid of that, and even more cautious. Now he wants Xiaomai to stop working, go home and rest assured to take care of the baby, and then go back to work after the baby is born.

Xiaomai was drinking the sour plum soup that Aunt Li made for her. He Lingting sat next to Xiaomai and said, "Girl, let me discuss something with you!"

"What's wrong?" Xiaomai put down the spoon and asked curiously, wondering why the uncle was so hesitant today.

"Look, you're pregnant now, and the doctor said that the first three months are a bit dangerous. Why don't you stop working and stay at home to take care of the baby."

"No, I can't stay here. Besides, working isn't tiring." Xiaomai protested immediately.

"Wait until three months later, when the fetus is stable, then go back. I can't stay by your side all the time, and I'm a little worried. You have someone to take care of you at home."

"Actually, you don't need to be so worried about me. The doctor said that I'm in very good health and my child is developing well. I'll just lead a normal life and nothing will happen. Besides, I don't get tired at the company. I just sit there all day long. What can happen?" Xiaomai knew that He Lingting was too worried about himself, so she comforted him.

"I still feel safer at home." He Lingting insisted.

"Hmph, it's useless no matter what you think. I won't stop working anyway." After saying that, Xiaomai stood up and walked away angrily, no longer paying attention to the uncle. This guy was too stubborn.

Aunt Li saw the young mistress walk away angrily, so she said, "Master, the young mistress is pregnant, so she can't be too emotional. Please give in to her."

After hearing this, He Lingting said "Okay" and went upstairs. He pushed open the door and saw the little girl sitting at the head of the bed reading a book. She didn't even look up at him when she heard the voice.

"Are you still angry? I'm just discussing something with you." He Lingting walked over and sat next to Xiaomai, hugged her and spoke gently.

"Then I tell you this is non-negotiable."

"Oh! Little girl, what should I do with you! On the one hand, I'm worried that I can't take good care of you, on the other hand, I don't want you to be unhappy. I really want to stay by your side all the time, so that I can feel at ease." He Lingting hugged the little girl, his eyes full of her, and said with a sigh.

"Uncle, you are too anxious. Others should do whatever they are supposed to do when they are pregnant. I have seen that the babies they gave birth to are all very healthy. Besides, I have a good physique, so there is no need for me to be so squeamish."

"You are different. There can't be any mistakes. Otherwise, I would rather not have a child." He Lingting said while rubbing Xiaomai's little hand.

Xiaomai got anxious when she heard this, "What are you talking about? You don't like the baby in my belly."

"No, you are more important."

Xiaomai's heart skipped a beat when she heard what He Lingting said. She thought how much the uncle must love her, so she gently persuaded him, "Uncle, you are too nervous. I promise you that I will protect myself and the child at any time. I will report to you at any time if anything happens, okay?"

"Okay then! Be sure to protect yourself."

"Yeah." Xiaomai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The uncle finally compromised.

During this period, He Lingting went to work at Qingtian Group every day, and called Xiaomai every half hour, which disturbed her so much that she couldn't concentrate on her work. When he got home, he stayed by her side all the time. He carried her up and down the stairs, and he stood outside the bathroom door waiting for her to go to the toilet. Xiaomai really couldn't stand it. She was just pregnant, but he made her feel like a useless person.

He looked at He Lingting and asked, "Uncle, you don't have a job?"

"No."

"You used to go to the study to read documents every night. Why don't you do that now?"

"You are the most important now."

"Ah! Uncle, you don't have to be so nervous about me. I'm still young and my belly is not visible. My body is very flexible and nothing will happen."

"I know."

"Then you still..."

“I can’t help but worry.”

"Ah!" Xiaomai was very surprised by He Lingting's words. How could she not control her thoughts? Could the uncle be sick? No wonder he has been acting weird lately. No, she had to call Bai Chen to ask if she should take the uncle to the hospital for a checkup.

Xiaomai thought for a while and said, "Uncle, please give Bai Chen a call! I have something to ask him."

He Lingting panicked as soon as he heard this and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Let's go to the hospital directly!" He Lingting picked up Xiaomai and was about to walk out.

"Wait wait, I'm fine, I'm fine everywhere. I just wanted to ask you something else." Xiaomai explained hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, He Lingting put down Xiaomai, took out his cell phone and dialed Bai Chen's number.

Bai Chen was on duty tonight. He was just bored and watching videos on Douyin when He Ting called. He quickly picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Ting, what's up?"

"Xiaomi is looking for you." He Lingting snorted coldly and said.

"My sister-in-law is looking for me?" Bai Chen was also confused.

"Yeah." He Lingting handed the phone to Xiaomai.

"Bai Chen, I want to ask you something." Xiaomai took the phone and said directly.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's not me, it's the uncle. He's been acting abnormal lately. He's always nervous. I found that he can't concentrate on his work and can't sleep well. He stares at me all day. I know he's worried about my health. I just advised him that there's no need to be so nervous. He said he can't control his thoughts. I'm worried about him. Is something wrong? How can a person not be able to control his thoughts? Do you think it has anything to do with his disorder?"

"Is he feeling unwell? Head?"

"Uncle, is there?" Xiaomai looked at He Lingting, and He Lingting shook his head to indicate no.

"No."

"How long has Ting been like this?" Bai Chen asked worriedly. Ting's illness had not been cured for so many years, and no abnormalities were found in his physical indicators. How come he got sick again?

"Not long ago, just since I was confirmed to be pregnant! It's getting worse these days."

"Since you got pregnant," Bai Chen said to himself, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"What's wrong? What are you laughing at? What happened to uncle?" Xiaomai asked anxiously. He Lingting beside him also became a little anxious, "Chen, tell me quickly."

"Hahahahaha, Ting, you are really sick."

"Why are you still laughing? What's wrong with you? Should we go to the hospital for treatment?" Xiaomai asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, this disease doesn't need to be treated. It will get better slowly. It's just a matter of time."

"What kind of disease is this? It's so strange."

"Pregnancy anxiety disorder."

"Ah, how could this happen? It's obviously me who's pregnant, what does it have to do with him?"

"Sister-in-law, you don't know, this is a chain reaction. It's like a woman who has just given birth is fine, but her husband becomes depressed and jumps off a building. It's also called postpartum depression." Bai Chen explained to Xiaomai.

"Ah, what should I do? He is anxious now. What if he suffers from postpartum depression? Bai Chen, you should think of a solution quickly. I don't want him to be anxious and depressed. If that happens, I might as well not have the child." Xiaomai was so anxious that her eyes were filled with tears.

He Lingting hugged Xiaomai in his arms and said, "Be good, don't worry, I won't be depressed."

"You're so anxious. Look, you can't even sleep well now." Xiaomai was so excited that tears started falling. He Lingting felt so distressed.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will find him some books to read and tell him what to do to be good for pregnant women. He will be fine." When Bai Chen heard Xiaomai crying, he thought it was a joke and quickly gave a solution. However, he was not exaggerating, as there were indeed husbands who suffered from pregnancy anxiety and postpartum depression.

"Then hurry up, he can't rest well now." Xiaomai sniffed and urged.

"Okay, let's do it tomorrow." Bai Chen agreed.

"I'll deal with you tomorrow."

He Lingting threw out a sentence and hung up the phone. Bai Chen trembled after hearing it!
