"Honey, I want to go home."
As soon as Lin Yao walked into the prenatal check-up center, she saw that it was full of people waiting.
Among them are pregnant women who are six or seven months pregnant and have bulging bellies. They all hold their lower backs with their hands to relieve the pressure from their big bellies.
There were also some who were similar to Lin Yao, who were just three months pregnant and whose bellies were not yet visible. This was also their first time to come for a prenatal check-up, and their faces were filled with curiosity and nervousness.
The difference is that these pregnant women who are not in the long term of pregnancy are accompanied by men, while many of those pregnant women with big bellies are alone. Moreover, there is no dissatisfaction or depression on their faces, but a kind of ease and familiarity of being accustomed to it.
Fang Xiaole thought that this was probably because couples who had just become pregnant were in a stage of anxiety and adaptation. The pregnant woman needed company, and the pregnant woman's husband also needed to relieve his anxiety by accompanying his wife.
Those with big bellies have obviously undergone many prenatal checkups and have become accustomed to or numb to going to the hospital for checkups, so the pregnant women themselves are very relaxed, and not every pregnant woman's husband will come to accompany her in person.
This contrast is quite interesting, and it just shows the mentality of pregnant couples at different stages of pregnancy.
Lin Yao and I are now in the anxious period of being rookies in the novice village.
As soon as she came in, Lin Yao felt weak and leaned softly against Fang Xiaole, shouting that she wanted to go home like a child who was afraid of injections.
"Ms. Lin, the dean has already instructed that Director Zhou is waiting for you. I'll take you and Director Fang there."
At this time, a nurse came forward to lead the way.
Fang Xiaole asked curiously, "How did your dean know we were coming here today?"
He and Lin Yao didn't want to attract too much attention, nor did they want to be special.
Lin Yao is a pregnant woman, and the other pregnant women who come for check-ups are also pregnant women. No one is superior to anyone else, so everyone just needs to line up according to the rules.
So he just made an appointment online in advance and didn't tell anyone at the hospital.
"We can see your appointment information. When the director found out, he instructed our prenatal checkup center to make sure it's arranged for Miss Lin."
The young nurse had big eyes and was very eloquent. She smiled and talked while leading the two of them forward. Seeing that Lin Yao seemed a little hesitant, she continued:
"Don't worry, Miss Lin, this is not considered a backdoor, because you have had a history of fetal instability.
To be on the safe side, we will arrange for Director Zhou to personally take care of pregnant women like you.
Director Zhou is already creating a file, so you'll have to wait in line for a while."
After the nurse said this, Lin Yao and Fang Xiaole felt relieved, knowing that they did not take up too many medical resources.
But Lin Yao was still a little nervous. Her little hand was tightly inserted into Fang Xiaole's palm. Fang Xiaole could feel that her hands were full of sweat.
Fang Xiaole exerted a little force and gently squeezed her hand. Lin Yao turned her head to the side, and only her eyes were exposed under the mask, but the pity and helplessness in her eyes were about to overflow.
"Ms. Lin, don't be nervous. We're just here to create a file today. We'll just do a NT scan and a blood test. Usually, 99% of fetuses are fine with these two tests. This NT test is actually..."
The young nurse had probably seen a lot of situations like this, and knew that pregnant women like Lin Yao who came for a prenatal checkup for the first time would inevitably be nervous, so she tried to comfort her.
"It's the nuchal translucency of the fetus. If the NT value is greater than 2.5 cm, then the fetus is likely..."
Lin Yao took over the nurse's words, hesitated for a moment, and finally said the last two words:
"deformity."
After saying these two words, Fang Xiaole clearly felt that Lin Yao's small hand in his palm was getting tighter.
"Wow, Miss Lin is amazing. She even knows all this!"
The young nurse was surprised and gave Lin Yao a thumbs up.
Lin Yao has been stuck at home for some time. Although she is accompanied by her husband, mother and mother-in-law, she is still very nervous.
Sometimes when I am lying in bed alone, I will quietly take out my mobile phone to search for various precautions for pregnant women and common knowledge about prenatal examinations.
Now she can basically recite the "Thirteen Steps of Pregnancy Checkup" by heart.
You will also have a basic understanding of each inspection.
But because of this, she felt even more nervous.
Because the more you understand these medical common sense, the more you will know that pregnant women and fetuses actually face many risks during pregnancy.
Things like Down syndrome, maternal hypertension, and maternal diabetes, although the probability of these happening is very low, once they happen, it will be a disaster for a pregnant woman and the fetus.
The more Lin Yao watched, the more frightened she became. However, in order not to worry her husband, mother and mother-in-law, she could only hide this nervousness in her heart.
And now, the end has come, and poor Huai'er Po can finally hold it in no longer.
Hearing the young nurse's praise, she just forced a polite smile, but her face became paler.
"Don't be afraid, I'm with you."
Fang Xiaole himself was a little nervous, but he still smiled gently at Lin Yao.
Seeing her husband so calm, Lin Yao finally felt a little relieved. The three of them quickly came to the consultation room of the director of the prenatal examination center.
As the nurse said, there was already a pregnant woman inside. There was a nice lounge outside the consultation room, where three pregnant women were waiting and sitting on chairs, accompanied by their husbands or elders.
Seeing Lin Yao and the other two come in, one of the pregnant women was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up excitedly.
"Wow! You, you are Lin Yao?"
