Chapter 110
Director Su saw Shi Ye come in and asked him with a smile, "What happened outside just now?"
"It should be gestational diabetes, acute coma caused by high blood sugar."
Director Su shook his head. "Hey, I don't know what's wrong with these pregnant women these days. At least half out of ten have gestational diabetes. They don't look fat, but their blood sugar is incredibly high."
She asked Jiang Zhinian to lie on the delivery bed: "Let's listen to the fetal heartbeat first. Have you ever listened to it at home?"
"I have."
"You bought a fetal heart monitor to listen to at home, right? It's good. Listen to it more often." Doctor Su's movements were very skillful, and Jiang Zhinian soon heard the familiar heartbeat.
Healthy and strong.
Doctor Su put away the fetal heart monitor and went to measure Jiang Zhinian's uterine height, which is an important indicator for assessing fetal growth and development.
"Just lie flat on your back. Don't be nervous. Relax."
Dr. Su held a tape measure in his hand. He used his fingers to find the position that needed to be measured and quickly got the result.
"Very good, no problem. I'll give you a prescription for a blood test. The next prenatal checkup will be at 22 weeks for a major fetal anomaly screening test."
The two of them got a prescription and went out to line up in the blood drawing area.
"Is the major fetal anomaly screening the same as the mind scan mentioned on the Internet?" She often sees some pregnant mothers posting clear photos of their baby's mind. Some even compare the baby's appearance after birth with the mind ultrasound photos, which is very interesting.
"No, major fetal anomaly screening is a two-dimensional ultrasound technology, mainly used to detect some congenital malformations. The imaging effect is not as good as four-dimensional color ultrasound, but four-dimensional color ultrasound is mainly used to provide three-dimensional imaging effects, which are the photos you see online. However, this technology is mainly for viewing. Major fetal anomaly screening is better for screening."
"Then I want to do both, is that okay?"
She wanted to see what the baby would look like in advance.
"Sure, but our hospital doesn't have a 4D scan. We can just find a private hospital to do it."
Some private hospitals not only provide four-dimensional color ultrasound services, but also add a screen above the bed so that parents can watch their child's movements in real time.
While doing it, I explain what part of the baby's body it is. Sometimes you can even see the baby gulping down the amniotic fluid.
After listening to Shi Ye's explanation, Jiang Zhinian endured it again and again, but still asked: "Does the baby drink amniotic fluid in the belly?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Will the baby excrete?"
"Of course."
Shi Ye knew what Jiang Zhinian wanted to ask, and chuckled and ruffled her hair.
Amniotic fluid is composed of water from the mother's blood and the fetus's own urine. That is, the baby swallows the amniotic fluid and then excretes urine, which is a... cycle.
"Don't overthink it. In addition to replenishing necessary fluids, babies swallow amniotic fluid to exercise their breathing and intestinal functions."
This is a very normal developmental process.
Jiang Zhinian touched her belly and nodded with difficulty, but she couldn't help asking, "What will the baby do in the belly..."
"Won't."
Shi Ye knew that her little brain would ask this question.
The meconium that people often talk about is usually excreted a few days after the baby is born. However, if the baby is squeezed or deprived of oxygen before birth, it is possible for the baby to excrete meconium in the uterus, and the amniotic fluid will be contaminated by meconium. If the baby accidentally inhales amniotic fluid at this time, it will cause certain respiratory infections. However, in general, this is a low-probability event.
Jiang Zhinian breathed a sigh of relief. She really couldn't imagine the scene of the baby swallowing herself in the belly.
…
The place where they lined up for blood draws was right across from the obstetrics ward. Jiang Zhinian was getting bored waiting, and when she looked up, she saw someone wandering around on the rooftop opposite.
She had good eyesight, so she ran to the window and looked for a while. She saw the man in the hospital gown stretching his neck and looking down, as if to see how tall the building was.
Jiang Zhinian's heart was in her throat. She hurried to the blood draw line to find Shi Ye: "Shi Ye, you, you come here."
She didn't dare say that someone seemed to be about to jump off the building, for fear of causing a commotion and irritating the people upstairs.
Shi Ye followed her to the window and took a look. He wanted to call the security office and ask them to send someone up to check the situation. However, it was lunchtime and no one was on duty in the security office.
"Shi Ye, let's go up and take a look." Jiang Zhinian looked at the man sitting on the low wall, swaying unsteadily, and became more and more nervous. "Besides, even if we make a mistake, it won't cause a big mistake."
Hospitals are sensitive places, and even if nothing happens, something will be spread. If someone posts it online, I don’t know how to make up the story.
When they reached the top floor, they saw a woman in a hospital gown sitting on the low wall with her feet facing outward.
Shi Ye pulled Jiang Zhinian to hide behind the wall to avoid being seen by the woman, which instead irritated her.
"Go to the stairwell and call the police. At the same time, call the fire rescue."
He sent the photo of the woman to a classmate who was rotating in the obstetrics department, and asked him to go to the obstetrics department and ask if any patients were missing.
The obstetrics gowns in their hospital were different from those in other departments. They had some special designs, and Shi Ye recognized them at a glance.
At the same time, he sent a message to Zheng Chengfei, asking him to contact the security guard to put up a safety belt downstairs to prevent someone from falling and hitting others.
Although the hospital doesn't have that kind of large inflatable mattress, at least we can pull up a bed sheet to act as a cushion or something.
The hospital acted very quickly, and the woman gradually felt the changes downstairs. The figure sitting on the low wall moved uneasily.
She turned around suspiciously, trying to see if there was anyone around, but saw nothing.
Soon the fire truck and police car drove into the hospital. The woman seemed to realize something and leaned forward slightly, as if she was about to jump.
Jiang Zhinian wanted to go out to stop her, but Shi Ye grabbed her arm tightly: "Don't go out. Remember, you and the baby in your belly are the most important. We have done our best for everything else."
He couldn't let Jiang Zhinian take risks for a stranger.
Jiang Zhinian touched her belly and said, "I won't go over. I'll just stand in front and talk to her for a while to buy time."
Even if an inflatable cushion is to be placed underneath, it will take time to inflate, so they are trying to find a way to buy time.
Even just for a minute or two.
"Shi Ye, trust me, I know what I'm doing and I won't take any risks."
Shi Ye's hand loosened, and Jiang Zhinian slowly walked out. She took out her cell phone, pretending to make a call, and said loudly: "I told you, the child in my belly is yours. If you don't come, I will jump from the hospital building."
The woman was attracted by Jiang Zhinian's words and turned around.
