The two rushed to the hospital in a hurry. The doctor on duty felt Li Qingge's belly, asked a few simple questions, and then arranged an ultrasound examination.
Li Qingge was lying on the examination bed, her stomach still hard and tight, her hand tightly holding Li Hanting's.
"Does your stomach hurt?" the doctor asked.
Li Qingge shook his head, "It doesn't hurt."
"It's okay if it doesn't hurt. If your stomach is constantly hard and tight, and it hurts, it means you're almost due," the doctor said. "That's normal, since you're entering the third trimester, and you're expecting two babies? Hmm?"
The doctor was halfway through his words when he asked, as if to confirm, "Did you have an ultrasound earlier and the doctor told you that you had two babies?"
"Yes," Li Qingge's heart tightened. Aren't there two?
No, there were two fetal heartbeats during the previous B-ultrasound examination.
Or is it that one of the babies is not developing well?
The doctor shook his head, "You're not pregnant with twins, there are clearly three fetal heartbeats!"
With a loud "boom", Li Qingge and Li Hanting were startled again!
How many? Three? Impossible!
Captain Li, who had carried out countless dangerous missions and had already made great military achievements, was also stunned at this moment!
"The previous doctor didn't find it out, it might be related to the fetal position of your three babies." The doctor said, and in order to make them understand, he took out a pen and paper and drew it for them.
"One baby is on the left, one is on the right, and actually one is at the back. Did you feel lower back pain during pregnancy?"
"Yes," Li Qingge's voice was stiff.
"That's right! Congratulations, you're pregnant with triplets," the doctor said with a smile. "The three babies' positions have changed, so I was able to see them clearly during the ultrasound just now."
Li Qingge still found it unbelievable.
Li Hanting: “…”
"If you're still worried, you can arrange for hospitalization tonight to see if the tightness in your stomach eases tomorrow," the doctor said carefully. "We can also do another ultrasound tomorrow."
"Please issue us a hospital admission form," Qingge is "in trouble" now and cannot go back no matter what. It is safer to stay in the hospital.
Li Hanting took the hospital admission form and carefully told Qingge, "Sit here first, I'll be back soon."
Li Qingge nodded.
"Doctor, could this be a mistake?" Li Qingge asked softly. "I don't mean to question you, I just think it's impossible."
"There's no mistake. It must be a problem with your baby's position at the beginning. During the examination, we could only see two babies, but now there are three," the doctor gestured at Li Qingge's belly. "One on top, one on each side. It's clear to see!"
Li Qingge swallowed unconsciously. She was so amazing.
"Don't worry, all three babies look healthy and will weigh less than a single baby," the doctor reassured. "I just estimated that all three little ones should weigh around two kilograms each. It would be best if you could carry the baby for another two weeks. Once they weigh around three kilograms, you can give birth!"
"A normal newborn baby weighs about 6 or 7 kilograms, right?" The daughter of Li Qingge's agent in her previous life weighed 8 kilograms when she was born!
Three pounds is enough? Moreover, given the current medical conditions, Li Qingge was a little worried.
"Yes, but a 5-jin baby is not small, but you are having triplets," the doctor said seriously, "Each baby should weigh about 6 jin. The total weight of the three babies is 18 jin, including the placenta and amniotic fluid. How big is your belly? I said about 3 jin, assuming the babies are healthy. What's more important is whether your body can handle it."
Li Qingge couldn't bear it anymore. Now he feels very suffocated when he goes to bed at night.
As the months go by, the internal organs will definitely be squeezed again.
"Our hospital's pediatric department is very famous. It's very common for babies to weigh three pounds. Unless they have underlying diseases, we can guarantee that they will be discharged safely, not to mention babies weighing two pounds!"
Li Qingge felt a little more relaxed.
She strives to raise her babies to four kilograms!
After the advance hospitalization "pre-study", the single room was very quiet. There was another bed next to the hospital bed, but Li Hanting did not sleep on it. He nervously accompanied Li Qingge.
Li Qingge felt that his stomach was not so tight anymore. "You can go to sleep. It might be because you ate too much spicy food tonight."
"No," Li Hanting shook his head, frowning, "I just asked the doctor, we'll give birth when the baby in your belly has grown to a certain weight!"
Li Qingge hummed softly, "Okay."
Li Hanting arranged for guards to deliver a letter home, and Li Jianping, Zhang Xiu Lan and Old Man Li immediately panicked.
Didn't you say you were going to eat? Why are you in the hospital?
"Li Tuan said that he's fine now, it might be because of the spiciness."
Zhang Xiulan was still worried and patted Li Jianping's arm, "Let's go to the hospital!"
"No need. Li Tuan said that you can be discharged from the hospital after the examination tomorrow." said the guard.
"Don't go so late at night. It's good that nothing happened. They must be resting in the ward now. If you go there, you will disturb their rest." Li Jianping breathed a sigh of relief. It was really scary!
Mr. Li nodded and said, "Yes, if there is any situation, someone will come to notify us, and we can rush to the hospital as soon as possible!"
The elders in the family spent the whole night in fear. Around noon the next day, Li Qingge and his friend came back.
Jiang Baozhen and Li Junshan were really scared when they heard that they were hospitalized last night.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
Qingge went back to the house to rest.
Li Hanting waited until she fell asleep before leaving the room.
"Why didn't you take good care of Qingge?" Jiang Baozhen complained to her son for not being careful.
"This kind of situation is very common in the late stages of pregnancy. You can't blame him." Zhang Xiulan said protectively to her son-in-law.
Li Hanting's face was solemn. "Mom and Dad," he turned to look at his mother-in-law and mother-in-law. "Mom and Dad, I have something very important to tell you now. Qingge is not pregnant with twins. The ultrasound last night showed that the doctor said there are three. They are triplets!"
“…”
Jiang Baozhen was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
The first thing everyone thought of was Qingge's body. She was so thin, how could she be pregnant with triplets?
Is it dangerous?
Li Junshan frowned, "What did the doctor say?"
"The chances of triplets being born prematurely are higher, but the babies are currently weighing around two kilograms. The doctor suggested a cesarean section could be performed if they weigh around three kilograms! The city hospital's pediatric department has extensive experience with premature babies, so there's absolutely no problem!"
"Also, we have to consider whether it can last until it reaches three kilograms."
Anything is possible.
My stomach feels hard and tight now, and I can only try to endure one day at a time.
Li Hanting pursed his lips, "If the pregnancy is successful and the baby weighs about three pounds, a Caesarian section should be performed immediately. We can't wait even a day! The longer we wait, the more dangerous it will be for Qingge!"
