Chapter 124
When Yuan Miaomiao heard the word "abortion", she immediately became nervous. When she heard that there was no point in preserving the fetus, she thought Shi Ye was implying that her child was gone and asked her to accept her grief. Her face immediately turned pale.
Shi Ye continued, "To put it simply, when you see blood, it means the embryo is being expelled from the body. It's impossible to save the pregnancy."
After all, doctors are not gods. The younger the gestational age, the more limited what the doctor can do. Unlike in the late stages of pregnancy, as long as the baby is born alive, there are always some expensive ways to save the baby.
After hearing this, Wang Bo asked with trembling lips, "So... the child was aborted?"
"No, the amount of bleeding from a miscarriage wouldn't be that small, and it would most likely be accompanied by a certain degree of abdominal pain."
Yuan Miaomiao's face is rosy and she looks energetic, so the probability of miscarriage is low.
Wang Bo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then why are you saying that? You scared me to death."
"Let me give you some scientific knowledge about occupational diseases." Shi Ye changed the subject and continued, "Non-abortion bleeding in early pregnancy can be divided into two situations. One is a problem with the mother, such as cervical bleeding caused by sexual intercourse during pregnancy..."
Wang Bo blushed and quickly assured, "No, no, if she's pregnant, I'd rather worship her than touch her."
Shi Ye nodded and continued, "Another possibility is maternal cervicitis or cervical polyps. It depends on whether you have regular physical examinations to rule out this problem."
Yuan Miaomiao quickly shook her head: "I happened to have a prenatal checkup before I got pregnant, and I didn't have these problems."
Her and Wang Bo's original plan was to do a pre-pregnancy check first. After everything was normal, they would work out together, take folic acid, and quit drinking and smoking for at least six months before considering pregnancy.
Having ruled out these two problems, Shi Ye proposed another possibility: "The other possibility is a problem with the embryo, such as an ectopic pregnancy or a molar pregnancy. However, these two conditions are generally accompanied by abdominal pain and abnormal hCG values. Of course, the specific symptoms vary from person to person. After all, few patients will develop illnesses according to textbook guidelines."
Wang Bo became nervous again: "Then, should we go to the hospital immediately?"
Shi Ye thought for a moment and said, "Within less than a month, neither ultrasound nor hCG testing can confirm these two conditions at this stage. If the pregnant woman doesn't have obvious physical signs, such as abdominal pain, I can only suggest that you continue to pay attention to this matter. If you have any other abnormalities, go to the hospital immediately."
Jiang Zhinian became nervous when she heard the words "ectopic pregnancy". She thought of Niuniu, that unlucky girl, and wondered how she was doing now.
Yuan Miaomiao was also frightened by what Shi Ye said and threw herself into Wang Bo's arms. Wang Bo pretended to be calm and said, "So, it's the child... Are you sure there's something wrong?"
Shi Ye said calmly, "Considering the patient's current condition, I personally think this possibility cannot be completely ruled out, but it is currently low."
Wang Bo: …
"Are you trying to scare me?"
"I'm just telling you the worst possible scenario."
Doctors always try to tell patients all the worst possible scenarios in advance so that they can have a psychological expectation.
"Brother, you are my real brother, so tell us what you think is the most likely scenario." Wang Bo and Yuan Miaomiao hugged each other, trembling, and were about to cry.
Shi Ye chuckled and said, "Implantation bleeding."
He tried to describe it in simple and easy-to-understand words. When the fertilized egg enters the uterus, it will invade the endometrium during the process of attaching to the uterine wall, and some pregnant women will experience a small amount of bleeding.
This situation is normal. The bleeding will stop within a few days. It does not harm the pregnant woman or the embryo and does not require any special treatment.
"Well, if that's the case, what should we do?"
"My advice is to observe closely, seek medical attention at any time, and try to stay in bed during this process, avoiding strenuous exercise, emotional excitement, and staying up late."
If you experience abdominal pain or heavy bleeding, you must rush to the hospital in time. Although the baby may not be saved, at least you can try to ensure the health of the pregnant woman.
Wang Bo reacted: "So you told us the worst-case scenario first to scare us, and then told us the most likely scenario last, right?"
Shi Ye looked at them and asked, "Do you take it seriously?"
Yuan Miaomiao nodded quickly: "Attention, attention."
Shi Ye nodded: "Just pay attention to it."
The obstetrics department is the most confusing place in the hospital. A healthy full-term pregnant woman was waiting for uterine contractions to give birth, but when she counted the time for fetal movement, the baby showed no abnormal reaction at all. When she rushed to the hospital for a check-up, the fetal heartbeat was already gone.
The culprit of all this is the twisted umbilical cord. No one can explain why the umbilical cord torsion occurs, and no doctor can accurately predict this situation. After all, even B-ultrasound cannot detect it.
In the end, the mother's family had no choice but to complain to the doctor, blaming him for not discovering the problem in time and killing their full-term baby.
Therefore, for obstetricians, it is better to make a fuss than to take it lightly.
After Wang Bo figured it out, he immediately became nervous and repeatedly asked Yuan Miaomiao if she felt unwell. "How about this, I'll send you to the hospital first. If there's any problem, we can deal with it right away."
Yuan Miaomiao shook her head frantically: "No, I feel fine now, nothing is wrong. Besides, Shi Ye has already said that even if we go now, the examination won't reveal anything. I think we should just let nature take its course."
Shi Ye pulled Jiang Zhinian out of the room and let the young couple deal with it on their own.
…
It was almost ten o'clock when they got home. Jiang Zhinian came out of the shower and saw Shi Ye washing cherries.
"When did you buy it?" Cherries are very precious in this season, and she was reluctant to buy them before.
"I ordered a supermarket delivery." Shi Ye put the washed cherries on the coffee table and waved Jiang Zhinian over. "Try it. Cherries are good for blood and low in sugar, so they're suitable for pregnant women."
Jiang Zhinian leaned over, reached out and took one, but before he put it in his mouth, Shi Ye pulled him sideways to sit on his lap.
"what……"
Shi Ye glanced at the cherries in her hand without saying anything, but he understood the meaning in his eyes.
Jiang Zhinian chuckled and brought the crimson fruit flesh to Shi Ye's lips: "I'll feed you?"
Shi Ye looked down at her, opened his mouth and ate the red fruit. His soft lips gently held the tip of her finger, and then separated at the touch of a finger.
Jiang Zhinian's hands trembled. This was the first time she felt such a soft touch, strange and novel.
No wonder Shi Ye always likes to rub her lips, so this is how it feels.
Shi Ye finished eating one, reached out and took a cherry, and touched Jiang Zhinian's lips in return: "Open your mouth."
