Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 251: Obvious discomfort
Though there was no obvious discomfort, Bai Meiyue still found her pregnancy a bit troublesome. She looked down at her feet; though there was no obvious swelling, the skin of her toes had turned red and looked a bit scary. Bai Meiyue sighed as she pulled her feet up on the bed and then started to rub them lightly.
Of course, she missed Lie Qian’s hands when she remembered the massage that he gave her last night. But when she recalled the troubles that were attached to that man, she swallowed her desires and closed her eyes. It was better to get used to staying without that man lest she become dependent on him.
Shen Zhen walked inside the room; she had asked Jiang Haidai to wait for her and even left her big bag with her sister. Even though the two of them didn’t grow up together, Shen Zhen naturally trusted her sister and even if Jiang Haidai was not what she portrayed, it would not be a loss for her, as the supplies only included baby powder, diapers and other baby-related things.
Walking to the bed where Bai Meiyue was sitting, she frowned when she saw Bai Meiyue rubbing her toes. It was obvious signs of pregnancy. Usually pregnant women’s toenails suddenly start bleeding as their pregnancy advances. Of course it was not a sign of danger but it still freaked a lot of women. Not to mention it was slightly painful.
Shen Zhen asked in a low voice, "Are you alright? The baby... is it okay?"
"How can he not be alright? He eats and sleeps well every day," Bai Meiyue opened her eyes and replied with a calm voice.
As soon as Bai Meiyue replied, Shen Zhen couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She sat down on the bed and looked at Bai Meiyue’s feet and said to her, "It seems like your toes are about to bleed because of continuous walking. Don’t worry," she added when Bai Meiyue looked at her in alarm. "This is nothing to be worried about. Once we arrive at the hospital, I will hand you some ointment that you can use on your feet. It will stop the bleeding."
She then paused and regained the air of a doctor again. Shen Zhen rubbed the tip of her nose and said to Bai Meiyue, "The most dangerous period is the first three months. You should be really careful; try not to do too many strenuous exercises and try to control your body movements. Though it’s advised for new mothers to exercise a little, such bold movements could cause trouble for the fetus."
Originally, Shen Zhen didn’t want to say this but after seeing how Bai Meiyue fought, she had no other choice but to remind the woman to take care of the child in her belly. Though Bai Meiyue had awakened as an ability user, her child was still as weak as any newborn.
Even if it was not possible for a pregnant woman to raise her baby with peace at home, Bai Meiyue should still pay attention to her unborn child. A pregnant woman was not the most vulnerable one among the old, young and other women and men. If Bai Meiyue was not careful, then a little mistake could result in the death of one person and the loss of two lives.
"Don’t worry too much." Bai Meiyue waved her hand and then carelessly said, "I am also aware of this, which is why I am taking special care of my body. Though it might look like I am being a bit careless, I was paying attention to this little guy from the start."
Bai Meiyue was not lying. After she became an ability user, she had a lot of strength, and her agility was also better than before. But because she was carrying Little Cai, Bai Meiyue didn’t dare to run carelessly. Even when she dodged the attacks of zombies, Bai Meiyue was really careful.
Shen Zhen nodded. She then said to Bai Meiyue, "I will give you a full body check up once we arrive at the hospital. It has been a month since we last checked up on you. It’s not good for a pregnant woman to skip her monthly checkup."
Especially with the current situation of the world, Shen Zhen thought that the monthly checkups were even more important than they were before the end of the world.

As she spoke, Shen Zhen raised her hand and gave Bai Meiyue a basic examination. However, without the necessary medical tools, there was nothing that Shen Zhen could do. From the looks of it, Bai Meiyue was still suffering from malnourishment. Her child was more than two months old but her belly was perfectly flat. When Shen Zhen thought about it, she felt that Bai Meiyue was a bit pitiful. She was obviously a child star who should have a lot of money and yet she grew up being starved like this. Now that she was pregnant, Shen Zhen wondered if Bai Meiyue would be able to safely give birth to her child.
Bai Meiyue was also worried about the same thing. Though she was eating a lot, Bai Meiyue knew that she was still smaller than other pregnant women. In her previous life, she was exhausted all the time and even when she was eight months pregnant, her belly was not showing much.
Compared to that, her current condition was still better but Bai Meiyue was still underweight. It was better to check the growth of her child so that Bai Meiyue could give up on her worries.
Bai Meiyue agreed with what Shen Zhen said and was about to say a few more words when there was a loud bang and she then heard Lei Qian say, "I can do this on my own, for heaven’s sake!"
Startled, she stepped down the bed after exchanging a look with Shen Zhen. The two women rushed out and saw Lei Qian staring down at Lu Yin. From the looks of it, he seemed pissed about something.
