“Alright, alright, stop rushing me. I’m getting up now.”
As soon as she got up, there was a “thud!”
Her phone fell to the floor.
Seeing this, Charlotte hurriedly bent down to pick up her phone, checking her messages with great anticipation.
After checking.
Charlotte looked disappointed. There was no message from Gregory on her phone.
“…Hmm, is he dealing with jet lag? Is that why he hasn’t called me?”
“Even so, he should at least send me a message to let me know he’s safe, right?”
“Forget it, I’ll just call him myself and ask.”
“Beep beep…”
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off. Please try again later…”
Gregory’s phone was still switched off.
“He can’t still be on the plane! Why can’t I get through to him?”
She tried calling him on WhatsApp:

But unfortunately.
It rang for a long time, but no one answered.
“Gregory, have you arrived in Belvaria? Can you call me back, please?”
She couldn’t help but send him another message.
“Lottie, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth.”
“Oh, coming!”
Charlotte felt a vague sense of unease, worrying that something might have happened to him.
After washing up.
She quickly checked the flight Gregory had taken.
The flight information showed that it had arrived last night.
“Uh… maybe he’s just too busy to call me back.
“Forget it, I shouldn’t overthink things.”
A little while later.
Charlotte changed her clothes and went to the obstetrics hospital with her mother.

At the hospital.
The doctor performed an ultrasound and various prenatal tests for her.

While waiting for the results!
Kathy was even more nervous than she was.
“I hope everything is fine and the baby is healthy.”
After waiting a little longer.
The test results started coming out one after another.
“Doctor, how is it? Is the baby developing well?”
The doctor replied calmly, “The fetus is currently three weeks old, which is considered early pregnancy. Everything is developing normally.”
Kathy’s tense shoulders instantly relaxed when she heard this. “Thank goodness, as long as the baby is healthy, that’s all that matters.”
Charlotte was absent–minded, still hoping Gregory would reply to her
soon.
Even just a message to let her know he was safe would put her mind at
ease.
The doctor adjusted his glasses and spoke in a gentler tone: “Ms. Lindsey, although the fetus is currently healthy, you are in the early stages of pregnancy. Your hormones are changing rapidly, and emotional fluctuations can easily affect fetal development. Be sure to get enough sleep and avoid overexertion and anxiety.”
As he spoke, the doctor handed Charlotte a sheet of pregnancy precautions. “Read this carefully when you get home, especially during the first three months. Pay special attention to your diet–get more folic acid and protein. Spinach and milk are good choices, but avoid spicy, raw, or irritating foods.”

“Yes, yes, got it.” Kathy listened very attentively, nodding from time to time and even taking out her phone to take notes.
“Also, appropriate exercise is important for pregnant women. You can choose gentle activities like walking for about half an hour each day. It will strengthen your body and help with delivery later. And, sexual activity should be avoided in early and late pregnancy to prevent uterine contractions.”
Charlotte listened to the doctor’s explanation mechanically, her thoughts in a jumble.
The doctor seemed to notice her distraction and tapped the table. “Ms. Lindsey, regular prenatal check–ups are very important during pregnancy. The next one should be around 12 weeks for the nuchal translucency scan. This is a key screening for chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus, so don’t miss it. If you experience any discomfort during this period, such as abdominal pain or bleeding, come to the hospital immediately.”
“Okay.”
“That’s all. Remember to take more folic acid.”
“Thank you, doctor.”
