In the later stages of her pregnancy, Ruan Yunxi had to go for prenatal checkups every month. She was carrying twins, so she definitely had to be careful.
The doctor listened to the fetal heartbeat for a while and then frowned.
Ruan Yunxi asked anxiously, "Doctor, what's wrong? Is the fetus not doing well?"
The doctor shook his head: "No."
Seeing that he seemed lost in thought and wouldn't say anything, Ruan Yunxi became anxious: "Doctor, we're so familiar with each other, just say what's on your mind, so I don't overthink things and scare myself."
The doctor knew that Ruan Yunxi was a straightforward person, so after thinking for a moment, he said, "I think I heard a third fetal heartbeat. You might be carrying triplets."
"What?" Ruan Yunxi looked at her pregnant belly in disbelief, then stared intently at the doctor: "Are you kidding me?"
The doctor gave an awkward smile: "I'm not sure either. Wait a minute, let me have my colleague listen."
Ruan Yunxi clenched her fist nervously: "Okay!"
The old woman was overjoyed: "Three?"
Ruan Yunxi's eyes lit up: "If there are three, we won't have enough diapers and clothes."
The old woman patted Ruan Yunxi's shoulder reassuringly: "It's alright, I'll make more when I get back. Anyway, we still have fabric. Even if there are three, we can take care of them. It's just that you'll have to endure some hardship."
Ruan Yunxi didn't care: "I'm already pregnant, so two or three won't make a difference. I won't mind if there's one more, haha!"
Gu Weizhou didn't come to the prenatal checkup this time; he was away on a mission a couple of days ago.
I won't be able to come back for a few days.
Recently, Gu Weizhou has been actively taking on tasks so that he can take a few more days off when she gives birth. He can stay home to take care of her during her postpartum period, spend more time with her, and help take care of the children. After all, with two children, the nanny has to take care of the new mother and two babies by herself, and he is afraid that she will not be able to handle it all by herself.
Now there's one more, and the two of them can't take care of each other.
Ruan Yunxi didn't want the nanny to work too hard, so she planned to go back home and discuss with Sister-in-law Sheng about having her come over to help take care of the nanny if she had time.
Cherry and Potato are both sent to the daycare center, where she has time during the day to help out.
Ruan Yunxi was willing to pay for Sister-in-law Sheng's services.
If it were someone else, Ruan Yunxi wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting her child to someone else's care!
Sister-in-law Sheng is trustworthy.
Moreover, she takes very good care of the siblings, Little Cherry and Little Potato, and is experienced in this area.
The doctor said he would call his colleagues, but unexpectedly, three colleagues came. They took turns listening to the fetal heartbeat on Ruan Yunxi's belly. There were both male and female doctors. Ruan Yunxi felt a little embarrassed.
It was quite awkward having to line up and listen one by one.
Fortunately, their answer pleased Ruan Yunxi.
The four doctors unanimously stated, "There are indeed three fetal heartbeats. You heard right. One heartbeat is not as strong as the other two; you can't hear it unless you listen carefully."
"To be absolutely sure, let's take a scan," the head of the hospital said.
Other doctors thought the same thing.
And so, Ruan Yunxi had to undergo another check-up, taking an X-ray. Seeing three shadows confirmed that she was pregnant with triplets.
Ruan Yunxi asked curiously, "Are there three daughters or three sons, or perhaps both?"
The doctor examined it carefully and said, "I can't see clearly. I don't know either. We'll find out whether it's a girl or a boy after the baby is born. It won't be long. We'll know then."
Ruan Yunxi had no choice but to give up.
She had made up her mind: as long as the children were born safe and sound, whether they were daughters or sons, they would all be her precious children.
After having these three children, she didn't want to have any more.
If she has a second child and then two or three more, even if she and the nanny work themselves to death, they still won't be able to take care of them all.
I asked someone to drive me to the hospital for this prenatal checkup.
Ruan Yunxi was heavily pregnant and unable to drive.
The old lady can't drive.
Gu Weizhou was on a mission and didn't have time, so he arranged for a guy to drive him.
After the checkup, Ruan Yunxi took them to a restaurant. The waiter was too shy to order, so Ruan Yunxi ordered all the dishes that everyone liked, such as sweet and sour pork, braised pork knuckle, mantis shrimp, steamed yellow croaker, sea snail, and a cold jellyfish salad.
