Chapter 498: Worrying about Harming Offspring
Qingluo nodded in agreement.
Although she is old, the princess asked her to follow the lady because she wanted her to be able to lend a helping hand when the lady was undecided or needed help.
Who would have thought that the lady didn't need her for advice, but she could learn a lot by following the lady!
During the meal, Ji Chuhe discovered that Lin Siyou had lost a lot of weight, especially when compared with the plump Dong Ling, she looked even more malnourished.
During the meal, Dong Ling thought this was delicious, that was delicious, everything was delicious, and her appetite was so good that the people around her also ate more.
In contrast, Lin Siyou only took a bite or two of each dish and didn't even dare to drink the soup.
Even if it is a normal person, having such a small appetite can easily cause problems, not to mention that Lin Siyou is pregnant. This is not only bad for the mother, but also for the fetus.
Xiao Yan'an didn't think there was anything wrong. He and Lin Siyou had little time to dine together, so he didn't notice anything wrong even when he ate with her.
How could a man notice such details?
What's more, he didn't believe that there were people in this world who would deliberately starve themselves even though they had food to eat.
Ji Chuhe did not expect that Lin Siyou would have problems with her diet. A pregnant woman actually had to control her diet like this. When she was hungry, she would just endure it silently.
The purpose of doing this is very simple. It is because we are afraid that during pregnancy, the appetite will be too good and if you eat too much, you will gain weight.
She asked about the diet of her two aunts, and the answer she got was that everything was normal.
"Siyou, are you feeling unwell? Why are you eating so little?" Ji Chuhe suddenly asked.
Lin Siyou suddenly became a little nervous and quickly responded, "Madam, I am really full."
"How much did you eat to feel full? Even the total amount you eat wouldn't even fill the bowl in front of you."
After hearing what Ji Chuhe said, Xiao Yan'an noticed that Lin Siyou was acting abnormally, as if she didn't pick up much food. He immediately thought that when the two of them ate together, he was often the one eating while Lin Siyou watched, and occasionally Lin Siyou would pick up a few dishes with her chopsticks.
"This month of year shouldn't affect my appetite, right?" Xiao Yan'an also spoke.
"No, Prince, I really do have a small appetite and it's like this normally." Lin Siyou explained quickly.
Lin Siyou repeatedly emphasized that this was normal, and Ji Chuhe didn't want to expose her.
"When I was in Huaiyang, I heard a story from a maid in the mansion. One of her relatives was pregnant and couldn't eat anything. She was fine in the first few months, but when she was four or five months pregnant, she suddenly fainted. When she woke up again, the baby was gone. After pregnancy, one must eat more than usual. This is good for both the mother and the child." She said indirectly.
"Thank you for your concern, ma'am. I will pay attention and try to eat more in the future, but my appetite is really small." Lin Siyou continued to explain.
Dong Ling couldn't help but look at herself. She was a whole circle bigger than Lin Siyou.
Of course, people look better when they are thinner, but they also need to be thin in a healthy way.
She was really worried about whether Lin Siyou would be able to hold on during childbirth given her current condition.
"Siyou, giving birth is a physical job, you should eat more. I'm an experienced person and I have experience." Dong Ling also advised.
"Thank you Sister Dongling for your concern." Lin Siyou immediately expressed her gratitude.
Dong Ling said she was fat, but she wasn't the kind that looked chubby. Instead, she had bones and flesh, and was very firm, and looked very healthy.
She spent more time resting in the first three months. After three months, when she saw that nothing was happening, she couldn't sit still anymore. Besides, she didn't feel unwell, so she would take a walk in the house every day.
Lin Siyou almost never left the yard, so she looked thin and pale.
However, if you ask others who they feel more comfortable looking at, everyone will definitely answer that it is Dong Ling.
After the meal, Xiao Yanan and Lin Siyou went back to rest together.
Dong Ling played with Ji Chuhe for a while before going back.
Qingluo walked in from outside and went to find out what was going on without waiting for Ji Chuhe's instructions.
"Madam, I just went to Aunt Lin's small kitchen to take a look."
"How is it?" Ji Chuhe asked.
"Most of the food you ordered to be sent to Aunt Lin's small kitchen is still there, especially some of the nutritional supplements, which weren't eaten much. I checked the accounts and didn't find any problems, which means your aunt really eats very little on weekdays. Because she has always been like this, the kitchen didn't think there was anything wrong and didn't report it to me."
"What did the court doctor say? When was the last time I took Aunt Lin's pulse? Was the pulse normal?" Ji Chuhe was now a little worried that the child was affected.
"Madam, the last time I took her pulse was twenty days ago, and it was normal. The court doctor also told Aunt Lin to eat more. Even if she can't eat much at one meal, she can eat more at several meals. Judging from her current situation, she doesn't take the court doctor's words to heart."
"Some women want to maintain their figure, fearing that their bodies will change too much after giving birth and will be disliked by men, so they are harsh on themselves when they are pregnant. I didn't expect Aunt Lin to do such a thing." Qingluo also knew Lin Siyou's mentality.
"If she continues like this, the child will definitely be affected." Ji Chuhe couldn't help but frowned.
"Madam, she always says that she has a small appetite and will be full after eating a little. We can't force her mouth to pour food into it." Qingluo didn't understand. "Isn't Aunt Lin afraid that this will affect the baby in her belly? Her father knows medicine, and she has been influenced by him since she was a child. How could she do such a thing?"
"I can only say that she cares too much about the prince and values his feelings above everything else. Let the court doctor go over and take a look tomorrow." Ji Chuhe ordered.
"Yes, ma'am, it's getting late, you should go to bed early."
"Yeah." Ji Chuhe nodded in response.
The next day, the court doctor went to Lin Siyou's yard. After taking her pulse, he couldn't help but frowned.
"Mrs. Lin, how much have you been eating recently? Have you been eating more? Judging from your pulse, you are weak."
"I, I've always been full." Lin Siyou responded quickly.
"You need to take some medicine now, otherwise it will have a great impact on the fetus. Your month is the time when the fetus needs sufficient nutrition. Even if you take medicine, you must eat normally."
"I, I understand." Lin Siyou said, and then quickly added, "Can I ask the court doctor for a favor?"
"Aunt, please speak."
