"Okay, I see. Thank you, doctor." Belinda put her hands on her abdomen, touching it gently. One could tell that she already loved her baby. The look on her face was the look that only a mother could have for her child.
"Besides, you should also walk more. Go for a walk each day. Do adequate exercises every day, but don't tire yourself out. Don't have sexual intercourse with your husband during the first three months and the last three months of your pregnancy. The former one may lead to miscarriage and the latter one may cause premature birth. You can have sex in the middle stage of your pregnancy, but please be extremely careful. You don't want to hurt the baby. That's all you need to remember," the doctor continued, instructing Belinda about everything she should be aware of. She didn't notice that Belinda's face immediately turned red at the words.
"You could do some antenatal training if you like. Listen to soft music, talk to the baby, etc. Keep yourself in a good mood. Do not exhaust yourself. Sleep is important for both you and the baby. Keep what I said in mind and you would be fine with your pregnancy. You will have a beautiful and healthy baby in the end." The doctor finally finished writing and raised her head to look at Belinda, hoping that her patient kept the instructions in mind.
"Doctor, the baby is still so small right now. Can it hear our voices if we talk to it?" Leena asked out of curiosity. She had never been pregnant nor met a pregnant woman before. Naturally, she was curious about this and was full of all kinds of questions.
"Of course. The baby is in her abdomen but it can still hear all kinds of sounds, including your voice. The baby gets the energy from the mother's food, so it's important for the mother to eat healthy." The doctor glanced at Leena, thinking that Leena was too young to have a baby herself. It was a surprise that she wanted to know about this kind of stuff.
"Yeah, you are right. I will definitely be careful. Thank you again, doctor." Belinda listened carefully to every word the doctor said. She was fine as long as the doctor didn't mention her love life in front of Leena, who was her sister-in-law. Belinda knew there was nothing wrong with it, but still, it was so embarrassing to her.
After the two of them got out of the hospital, they decided to take a stroll. Leena was cautious because Belinda was pregnant. Her little niece or nephew was in her. She kept an eye on Belinda in case something bad happened.
