CHAPTER 448: CHAPTER 448: IS IT VERY SERIOUS?

After paying the fees, Shen Cheng went to the fifth-floor laboratory and had four tubes of blood drawn.

One tube of blood was for liver function tests, two tubes were for Down syndrome screening, and the last one was for routine blood tests.

When the test results came out, she took the report to the gynecology clinic.

The doctor looked at her report with a somewhat solemn expression, then turned to ask her, "Have you recently experienced symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, difficulty breathing, palpitations, or chest pain?"

Shen Cheng nodded, "Yes, I have."

The doctor pointed to an item on the test report and showed her, "The results indicate that you have severe anemia."

"Anemia?"

"Yes, during pregnancy, the demand for iron significantly increases in pregnant women, hence, their hematopoietic function is slower compared to others. Therefore, pregnant women need to absorb more iron to synthesize hemoglobin for the increased blood volume."

"What impact does this have on the fetus?"

The doctor adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose and said seriously, "In the long run, maternal anemia can affect fetal development. For example, it can lead to restricted fetal growth or hypoxia caused by anemia, which might result in fetal distress, premature birth, or even stillbirth..."

She slowed down her speech and continued, "Moreover, maternal anemia not only affects the health of the fetus but also has a certain impact on the mother herself, potentially causing gestational toxemia in severe cases."

Shen Cheng frowned, "Is it very serious?"

The doctor replied that the severity of anemia during pregnancy can vary, but the issue should not be overlooked, suggesting that Shen Cheng should observe for half a month first.

During this period, she should rest well, drink more water, and supplement her nutrition adequately.

Finally, the doctor prescribed some blood tonic pills that are safe during pregnancy and reminded her to eat more iron-rich foods when she got back home.

After leaving the hospital, Shen Cheng’s mind was blank.

She looked closely at the lab report in her hand, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it into a roadside trash can.

To say she was fearless would be a lie.

She was afraid, afraid of something going wrong with the baby in her belly.

Returning to the villa, Shen Cheng asked the servants to prepare some jujube fruits.

Hearing her order, the servants dared not delay and immediately washed several kinds of premium jujubes and presented them to her.

"Young Madam, here are the jujubes you requested."

"Hmm, put them down."

After the servant placed the jujubes down, they stepped back.

Shen Cheng sat up from the sofa, reached out to grab the jujubes, and started eating them.

One, two, three... Ten...

She kept going!

Seeing this, the servants exchanged glances, feeling nervous and puzzled.

What’s going on with the Young Madam?

Is she in a bad mood because of a fight with the young master?

Venting?

But venting shouldn’t be done this way!

"Young Madam, you can’t eat any more, eating too many of these is not digestible..."

Finally, a servant gathered the courage to speak up and remind her.

But Shen Cheng showed no signs of stopping, continuing to eat.

It was unclear what she was thinking, her eyes fixed on a certain spot, devoid of any focus.

The servant became anxious, hurried forward, and took the jujubes away, "Young Madam, you really can’t eat any more!"

"Put it down!"

Shen Cheng softly uttered these cold words.

Her gaze still lingered in the original direction, but the servant read a strong killing intent in her eyes.

"Young Madam..."

The servants dared not leave them, fearing they couldn’t bear the consequences if something indeed went wrong.

Shen Cheng eventually redirected her gaze, glanced at the servant, and her voice lowered significantly, "Put it down."
