Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069: She Has Prenatal Depression

For a soon-to-be mother in labor, it’s not a good sign to be sighing all day long!

Dongfang Yu had asked Hai Xiaotang multiple times, with care, tenderness, and concern, "What’s really wrong with you? If there’s any discomfort, you must tell me."

"I’m fine." Hai Xiaotang shook her head, genuinely appearing to be fine.

"Is it because the recent meals aren’t to your liking?" Dongfang Yu persisted, wondering why else she would sigh even during meals.

"Not at all, they’ve been quite good." Then Hai Xiaotang ate two large bowls of rice.

As a pregnant woman who had gained weight, her appetite was still somewhat large...

Dongfang Yu was relieved to see her eating properly.

But Hai Xiaotang still seemed a bit downcast.

One day, as she was snacking and watching TV, she suddenly sighed again after seeing a certain scene.

Dongfang Yu glanced at the TV and spotted a fat girl on the screen.

Thinking himself clever, he comforted Hai Xiaotang, "Wife, you shouldn’t worry about your figure all the time. You’re not fat, just a few extra pounds, which is perfectly normal. Don’t be anxious."

Hai Xiaotang glanced at him, and Dongfang Yu suddenly felt that he might have said something wrong.

Then, Hai Xiaotang quietly put down the snacks and stopped eating...

"Wife, I didn’t mean to criticize you. In my eyes, you are not fat at all, and you shouldn’t be troubled by it. Gaining a little weight during pregnancy is entirely normal."

"Oh, just a few extra pounds..." Hai Xiaotang said expressionlessly.

Dongfang Yu: "..."

He definitely had said something wrong!

Hai Xiaotang’s sorrow deepened—she felt unaccomplished and now even considered herself overweight!

Moreover, her memory seemed to be deteriorating.

She would forget what she wanted to do in the very next second after thinking about it.

Even Haohao and Chenchen noticed something was off.

"Mom, what’s wrong with you? Why do you keep forgetting things lately? Don’t you care about me anymore?" Chenchen grumbled discontentedly.

Hai Xiaotang hurriedly apologized, "Mom didn’t mean to neglect you, my memory has just been a bit poor lately..."

Haohao, who was engrossed in an encyclopedia, looked up and earnestly suggested, "Mom, you should eat more pig brain, it helps boost your memory!"

Hai Xiaotang: "..."

Was she being looked down upon by her own children? Were they despising her?

Indeed, she felt completely useless, as everything seemed to be going wrong!

Hai Xiaotang grew even more anxious...

Dongfang Yu took her to see a doctor, who diagnosed her with prenatal depression and advised her to cheer up.

Then, to make her happy, the whole family tried to amuse her.

"Whatever you want, just go buy it!" Dongfang Yu handed her all his cards, knowing that the cure for a woman’s depression was one thing—shopping!

Feeling utterly useless and only spending her husband’s money all day, she lamented her worthlessness.

Far from becoming happier, Hai Xiaotang only grew more despondent...

She decided then and there to reinvent herself, to transform, to strive!

Hai Xiaotang was now eagerly anticipating the birth of her child, so she could start doing the things she wanted to do.

Fortunately, she didn’t have to wait too long; the baby was finally about to arrive...

While Hai Xiaotang could have found out the gender of the baby during pregnancy, the Dongfang family had decided against it, wanting the birth to be a surprise, regardless of whether it was a boy or girl.

Otherwise, if they had known the gender early on, the surprise on the day of the birth wouldn’t be as great.
