Pregnant Lui Shirasagi x reader 2

Month One, two & three

Month One Check-Up

Doctor: "Alright, Lui. Welcome to your first official check-up! It's all a bit surreal at first, I know, but this month is foundational. Your body is adjusting to support a growing baby, even though you won't see or feel many changes just yet. How are you handling everything so far?"

Lui Shirasagi: "Honestly... it's strange. I'm used to being in complete control, you know? But this... it's so unpredictable. I've been feeling tired, like...really tired. And a little nauseous now and then, especially in the mornings."

Doctor: "All perfectly normal, I assure you. Pregnancy is very demanding, especially in these early stages. The first month is when the foundation for the baby's development is laid, so your body is working overtime to adjust. It might help to rest more than usual and go easy on physical activities."

Lui Shirasagi: "Go easy? I've always been in peak shape; it's hard for me to back off from training. It's like a routine, almost like a part of me."

Doctor: "I understand. But now your body is sharing energy and resources with a developing baby. This month, that baby is only a small cluster of cells multiplying quickly. Although tiny, those cells are already organizing into layers that will become the body's different organs and systems. Your body is producing hormones to help this process along, and they're probably the reason for your fatigue and nausea."

Lui Shirasagi : "So even though it doesn't look like much now, there's a lot happening inside. And... what do I need to be eating to make sure the baby's getting what it needs?"

Doctor: "That's a great question. At this stage, folic acid is crucial because it helps prevent certain birth defects. Leafy greens, beans, whole grains, and fortified cereals are all excellent sources. You'll also want to focus on iron and calcium-rich foods. Think along the lines of lean proteins, nuts, yogurt, and plenty of fresh vegetables. Try to eat smaller, balanced meals throughout the day to keep your energy levels stable and minimize nausea. And stay hydrated-water is essential."

Lui Shirasagi : "So, a whole new routine to keep up with. Got it. This will be... different."

Doctor: "Different, but doable. By adjusting little by little, you'll find a new balance. It's a lot to take in, but remember, this is just the beginning. We'll go step-by-step to make sure you're as comfortable and prepared as possible."

Month Two

Doctor: "Welcome back, Lui. We're moving into the second month, and this is an important stage in your pregnancy. How are you feeling so far?"

Lui Shirasagi : "Tired, mostly. And the nausea is a lot worse than before. It's making it hard to focus on training; I keep having to take breaks."

Doctor: "Yes, nausea tends to peak around this time, and fatigue is likely stronger, too. The baby is still tiny, but so much is going on internally. Hormone levels are increasing to support the baby, which can make you feel drained and nauseous. But this is also when some of the baby's essential organs, like the heart, liver, and brain, start forming."

Lui Shirasagi : "Wait, the baby already has organs forming?"

Doctor: "Exactly. It may seem early, but by the end of this month, the baby's heart will even start to beat. It's all happening on a very small scale-the baby is only the size of a blueberry-but it's incredibly active in terms of development. This stage is delicate, and your body is working hard to keep up."

Lui Shirasagi: "So, all this tiredness is because my body's adjusting to... I guess keeping this baby alive?"

Doctor: "Yes, precisely. Your body is creating new blood vessels to supply nutrients, your metabolism is increasing, and every system is adjusting. As the baby's organs and limbs begin to take shape, it requires an enormous amount of energy. That's why rest is so important, even though I know it's difficult for you to slow down."
