The Difficult Years of Pregnancy and Childbirth (I)

Now that my baby is in kindergarten, watching her thrive, everything seems to be quiet. But recalling the difficult process of asking for a child and getting pregnant, every scene comes to mind like a movie. I have always wanted to record that process, first, I hope that my baby will grow up to understand the difficulty of being a parent, and second, if I can, I can give some courage to those who are still working the road to pregnancy.

My husband and I were not in a hurry to have children in the first two years of marriage, thinking that in order to give my future baby a better life, I would fight for two years first. Living conditions are slowly getting better as planned, and when we are ready for new life, we find that having children is not something that can be said to be as you plan. At first, I thought that it might be that menstruation was a bit chaotic, and the conditioning and conditioning was good, so in the relatively calm state of mind for a year or so, I chose Chinese medicine to regulate menstruation. Time slipped away quietly at the fingertips, and countless bitter Chinese medicines went down to the stomach, but there was still no movement in the stomach. When it comes to the New Year's Festival, when visiting relatives and friends, or when colleagues usually ask why we don't want children, we just smile awkwardly and say words against our hearts: "Still young, still early." The otherwise calm state of mind began to ripple, and the pressure of pregnancy increased unconsciously. After reaching an agreement, my husband and I chose a Chinese medicine doctor who specializes in infertility. What follows is a long road to finding children.

We first had a routine of tests, and the result was that my husband had no major problems and that I had multiple sacs of ovaries. Immediately checked on the Internet, most of the symptoms of polycystic are obesity and hairiness. I don't think I fit in, how to be too sac. Next, I began to take Chinese medicine again in combination with Western medicine Daying 35. The doctor said to adjust for a while, because the doctor's philosophy is the combination of Traditional Chinese and Western medicine, as well as the same treatment of husband and wife (even if the other party does not have much problem), to adjust both parties to an optimal state of conception. So my husband also started taking Chinese medicine with me and checking the road every month. Taking Western medicine requires the same time to take medicine every day, so I deliberately set an alarm clock ⏰ for taking medicine. Every morning, I got up to take my basal body temperature, so I deliberately set up another alarm clock ⏰ to take my temperature. After 3 months of such conditioning, the doctor said that the fourth month could be pregnant.

Start to prepare for pregnancy is also busier, in addition to taking medicine, measuring body temperature, but also to monitor the follicles, almost to the ovulation period, monitoring follicles more frequently, wait until the doctor said that the size of the follicles can be, need to have the same room, you have to get ovulation injections, every other day an injection. All the effort depends on ovulation these days. But that month coincided with the death of my grandmother, so in the fourth month of that day we went back to our hometown for the funeral. Nature also does not get pregnant.
