The ultrasound machine screen was tiny, and it was grayscale ultrasound.

Therefore, in addition to advanced technology, it is also necessary to constantly adjust the angle of the probe to determine the sex of a child.
But the one on the left... is quite obvious.
It's mainly the children who cooperate.
Thinking this, Dr. Jiang's gaze fell on another child.
A few minutes later, Dr. Jiang smiled.
Although she already knew the answer in her heart, out of professional ethics, Dr. Jiang didn't say a word.
She simply smiled and said, "Congratulations, you're having twins."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou exchanged a glance.
Mr. Li had said this before; it's highly likely that she's having twins this time.
But there are always unexpected events.
Now that they have heard Dr. Jiang tell them that she is pregnant with twins, the couple feels a sense of relief.
Seeing that Huo Tingzhou was staring intently at the screen, Dr. Jiang turned the probe around.
A moment later, she pointed to two bright rings that were the same size as ping-pong balls.
"These two are the baby's head, and the two rows of beaded bright spots behind them are the baby's spine."
Jiang Si couldn't see anything and could only worry anxiously.
Huo Tingzhou described it to her, saying, "It feels like a little seahorse."
"It does look somewhat like it. The limbs aren't very clear yet. When we come back next month, we'll be able to see the child's outline more clearly."
Dr. Jiang smiled and said, "See this flashing dot? That's the baby's heartbeat. Here, let me play it for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a 'thump-thump' sound, like the hooves of horses, suddenly rang out in the room.
"Is this the fetal heartbeat?" Jiang Si exclaimed in amazement.
However, she vaguely remembered that Teacher Hu had mentioned that she heard the sound of a little train making a "rumbling" sound.
In response, Dr. Jiang explained, "Ms. Hu's fetus is positioned quite far forward, with the placenta on the anterior wall, so the fetal heartbeat will sound like a little train."
Jiang Si didn't understand any of this; she just listened to whatever the doctor said.
As long as it's normal, that's fine.
After his initial excitement, Huo Tingzhou asked a question.
"Dr. Jiang, my wife has had a good appetite for the past two months."
"My weight is still the same as before, there's not much change, and I've even lost two pounds in the last few days."
"This is normal. The weather is hot now, and pregnant women tend to have more internal heat, so it's normal to lose a pound or two in weight."
Huo Tingzhou then asked, "Is it possible that the child is absorbing nutrients too well?"
He feels he has become particularly anxious lately.
On the one hand, they worry that the children will not develop properly and will be weak and sickly in the future.
On the other hand, they worried that if the children developed too well, their wives would suffer during childbirth.
Fortunately, Dr. Jiang quickly reassured him, "The baby's size is normal, and all the data are normal, so you don't need to worry."
Next, Dr. Jiang took a closer look at the amniotic fluid index and other indicators.
"Okay, the check is done. Don't move yet, let me wipe it for you."
As she spoke, Dr. Jiang pulled out a tissue from the side.
"Dr. Jiang, let me do it."
Huo Tingzhou immediately stepped forward, took the toilet paper from him and put it in his pocket, and then took out a piece of cotton cloth from Jiang Si's handbag.
After wiping the sticky coupling gel off her belly and straightening her skirt, he gently helped her up.
Upon seeing this, Dr. Jiang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The standards for a good man have always existed; it's just that few people meet them.
"You two, please sit down."
After the two were seated, Dr. Jiang handed them the ultrasound report.
"Both children are developing well so far, but we need to be more careful as they grow older."
"Starting next month, you should come to the hospital for a check-up every month."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Dr. Jiang."
While thanking her, Jiang Si took the ultrasound report and began to read it.
Ultrasound reports from this period are usually very simple.
In addition to confirming that they were twins.
The following information only includes gestational age, placental location, amniotic fluid volume, and exclusion of serious malformations.
Do you want to print the image?
Dr. Jiang explained briefly, "This is charged separately, two yuan per image. The image is rather blurry; you can only see a general outline."
Huo Tingzhou nodded. "Could you print a few more copies?"
"It's possible, but unnecessary."
Dr. Jiang explained, "This was printed on thermal paper. The image will fade if you rub it a few times."
"And no matter how well you preserve it, the image will still fade over time."
Huo Tingzhou, however, was very insistent on this.
There was nothing else Dr. Jiang could do but print out two copies for him.
As Dr. Jiang said, the ultrasound image was very blurry.
Jiang Si looked at it for a long time but could only barely make out that there were two small black balls on it.
"Alright, we've been watching for several minutes now, shouldn't we go back?"
"Okay, I'll be right back."
Huo Tingzhou snapped out of his daze, smiled, and squeezed her hand tightly.
Then he said to Dr. Jiang, "Dr. Jiang, we'll be going now."
"Oh, right." Dr. Jiang suddenly remembered something.
"The hospital just received a new batch of calcium tablets. Do you want some? If so, I can give you a prescription."
Huo Tingzhou immediately nodded, "Thank you for your help, Dr. Jiang."
After finishing the prescription, it was already time to leave work, so Dr. Jiang followed them out of the ultrasound room.
