Chapter 531 Prenatal Checkup with the Whole Family
"Grandpa and grandma, are you going too?"
"Um."
In order to meet the two babies, Mr. Yan specially put on a more formal outfit today. Those who didn’t know would think that he was going to attend an interview.
"The car can't hold so many people."
"Don't worry about this. How can I be troubled by such a small matter?"
On the day they returned to Beijing, he had already booked a private car with Lao Jintou.
Two cars stopped in front of the hospital, one after the other.
Before they reached the obstetrics and gynecology department, the hospital director heard the news that Mr. Yan was coming and hurried over from his office.
"Commander, why are you here? Are you here for a routine checkup?"
Dean Kang Yu saw that the old man was dressed so smartly and had a rosy complexion. He did not look like he was feeling unwell.
"No checkup today. I'm accompanying my granddaughter-in-law to the prenatal checkup."
"So that's how it is."
Fortunately, if the old man is not feeling well in any way, he will be on the alert.
Kang Yu glanced at Song Fuyu's belly, then looked at the person next to her.
It turned out to be true. The old man of the Yan family loved his granddaughter-in-law the most. When she had a prenatal checkup, both the old man and the old lady accompanied her in person.
"Xiao Liu, go and call Director Li."
"No."
"We are just doing an inspection. There is no need to mobilize a large force. We can go there by ourselves."
"Go and do your own thing. It's just a routine checkup. There's no need for you, the dean, to accompany me personally."
The old man didn't like this kind of pomp and circumstance, which wasted time and seriously affected his meeting with his great-grandson and great-granddaughter.
"Director, please go and do your work. We have already made an appointment with Director Li. We will go home after the examination."
"Well... okay then."
"If you need anything, feel free to contact me."
"Yes, I will."
After seeing off the dean, the few of them quickly arrived at the obstetrics department.
"Director Li, I'm sorry to bother you again today."
"Commander, you are too kind. This is part of my job."
Li Ping stopped in front of the examination room.
"How about the infertile mother and Doctor Qin come in with me for the checkup first? Commander, you and your wife wait outside the door first?"
Li Ping spoke with some trepidation, fearing that Mr. Yan would disagree.
"Okay, you guys go in first and don't worry about us."
"Director Li, can I go in with you?"
"All right."
After all, he is the children's father.
The four people entered the examination room, and Song Fuyu was about to lie on the bed as if he was familiar with it.
"Wife, is this bed cold? Do you want to put a cushion underneath it first? I brought it."
"No, it's already June, it's not cold."
She just lay down on it, adjusted her posture, and started to lift her clothes.
"Isn't it six months now?"
"right."
"Is the fetus moving frequently?"
"A little bit. Every time they finish eating, they move around a lot. Also, when their dad tells them stories at night, they move around too."
"It is normal for the fetus to move frequently after a meal. The mother's blood sugar level rises and the baby is also absorbing nutrients."
"But mothers still have to pay attention to their diet and not eat too much at each meal to avoid bloating of the stomach and squeezing the fetus. After meals, you can take about half an hour to take a walk, eat some fruits and vegetables appropriately, and monitor the baby's fetal movements more often every day."
"Director Li, what frequency of fetal movement is considered normal?"
“About three to five times an hour.”
"You are new parents, so there is one thing you must pay attention to. In the late pregnancy, you must not touch your belly too often. This will stimulate the baby to interact with you. It may seem cute, but it actually makes the baby overactive, which poses certain risks."
While applying coupling agent to Song Fuyu, Li Ping told them about the dangers of touching the belly frequently.
Yan Ziyuan felt regretful after hearing this.
Every time he came back from training, he would habitually touch his wife's belly and say hello to the child.
He was very happy with their response, he never expected it to be a bad habit.
It seems I have to restrain myself from now on. If you touch me again, I'll chop off my hand.
After applying the coupling agent, Li Ping took the probe and began to inspect.
"The two babies are currently growing well, one up and one down."
Yan Ziyuan moved closer to the screen and watched it carefully.
"These two little guys seem to be sleeping in bunk beds."
"Director Li, given their situation, can we tell who was born first?"
"If it's a normal birth, the one closer to the bottom of the uterus will be born first."
"In fact, physiologically speaking, in their situation, the one born later is the eldest, and he implanted first."
"So that's how it is."
Song Fuyu was currently lying in bed and it was inconvenient for her to see, so he described the children's situation to her in detail so that she could understand it as clearly as possible.
"Pull the curtains quickly and let grandpa and grandma come in. They want to see it too."
"Wait a minute, I haven't seen enough."
Yan Ziyuan was reluctant to take his eyes off the screen.
"Go quickly, after they finish watching, wipe the stuff off Xiaoyu's stomach as soon as possible."
Yan Ziyuan then reluctantly opened the door of the examination room.
"How was it? Did you see it?"
As soon as he came out, Mr. Yan couldn't wait to step forward and ask.
"You and grandma can go in and take a look too."
"Yeah, okay."
The old couple walked into the examination room with excitement.
"Yeah, this is the same as the black and white picture, right?"
"right."
"Qinglan, look quickly, it's quite clear, these are the two little guys, lying one above the other."
"So good."
"When they grow up a little bit, won't the one on top press down on the one on the bottom?"
"No, logically speaking, the baby might move slowly in the belly."
"That's fine."
On the way back from the examination, several people were still discussing what they had just seen in the examination room.
"Ziyuan, did you take the photo?"
"ah!"
"I, I forgot!"
“Look at you!”
"How could I forget something so important!"
Yan Ziyuan really wanted to slap himself at this moment.
He still remembered that when he went in, the camera was placed in the bag he brought with him. After he went out to replace his grandfather and the others, he completely forgot about taking pictures.
