Chapter 29 Triplets? ?
Not to mention that Xiao Qinyun's research is about to see the light of day, their babies are finally 3 months old, which is cause for celebration.
Tomorrow is another day off, so the couple went to bed early, preparing to get up early the next day to go to the hospital for a check-up.
It was already late April, and everyone had taken off their thick cotton-padded jackets. Qiao Qinglu braided a loose fishbone braid for herself, changed into the goose yellow eight-sleeved dress she had bought last time, and put on a navy blue tweed jacket on the outside, tied a gauze knot, and the two of them went out.
There were a lot of people in the hospital today. After waiting for a while to register, it was finally Qiao Qinglu's turn.
The old doctor was very happy to see her. Although he knew that the young couple neglected the child, there were still few pregnant women who could listen to the doctor's advice and have regular checkups.
There was no such thing as prenatal check-ups back then. Most pregnant women would just go to the hospital or health center for confirmation when they first became pregnant. Afterwards, unless there were any abnormalities, they would not have to see a doctor even when the child was born. After all, hospitals were expensive, and midwives were much cheaper.
The old doctor first felt her pulse on her left hand, but was a little unsure, so he asked her to feel her pulse on her right hand. Finally, he asked her to lie on the examination bed and gave her a comprehensive examination.
Qiao Qinglu and Xiao Qinyun were frightened by the old doctor's serious expression. What happened? They hadn't felt any discomfort recently, so why was the doctor examining them so carefully?
The old doctor finished the examination and waited for Qiao Qinglu to sit down in the chair before slowly saying, "A few days ago, I told you that you were in good health and could make it to the day of delivery. Now I'm not so sure. The good news is that you may be pregnant with twins or triplets. The bad news is that under the current conditions, your fertility risks have increased."
The doctor's words stunned Qiao Qinglu and Xiao Qinyun. Qiao Qinglu felt like a thousand grazing animals were flying through her mind. Damn, they were supposed to be twins, a boy and a girl, how come they turned out to be triplets?
She still didn't give up and asked the doctor: "Doctor, how do you know if it's twins or triplets?"
The old doctor explained, "I confirmed this by taking your pulse and listening to the fetal heart rate. When I took your pulse, I found that your pulse was smooth and strong, with weak beats in the middle and lower pulses. Later, when I checked your fetal heart rate, in addition to hearing your heartbeat, I also heard a chaotic fetal heart rate, some strong and some weak. It is definitely not a single fetus."
Xiao Qinyun then asked, "Doctor, how can we be sure whether these are twins or triplets?"
The old doctor patiently replied, "Our medical resources are limited right now, and the babies are too young. The amniotic fluid is interfering greatly, so we can't accurately determine the number of babies. Preliminary estimates suggest we'll have to wait until the pregnancy is at least six months before we can perform an examination to determine the number."
Xiao Qinyun glanced at Qiao Qinglu worriedly, then asked, "Doctor, when should we come for the next checkup? Can my wife continue to work now, or does she need to stay in bed? Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"
The old doctor replied, "The next checkup will be when you're six months pregnant. According to the results of the previous examination, you're in good health and can continue working. Bed rest is not recommended, as it's not good for the baby's development. Pregnant women with multiple babies have higher nutritional requirements. During these months, she needs to maintain a rich and varied diet and not be picky about her food. She can appropriately increase her intake of high-quality protein-rich foods, such as fish and eggs, and eat more vegetables and fruits."
This is the special need ticket I issued. You can use this ticket to buy some red dates, brown sugar and milk powder at the pharmacy downstairs to supplement the nutrition for pregnant women.
In addition, the pregnancy reaction of multiple babies will be more severe than that of single babies, and discomfort symptoms such as back pain will appear earlier. Do not do hard work or strenuous work, and do not carry things. If you feel uncomfortable, such as slow or abnormal fetal movement, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time.
By the way, although pregnant women are in good physical condition and the fetus is developing relatively steadily, they can have sex appropriately, but be careful not to do it too frequently. The movements must also be gentle, and not to squeeze the pregnant woman's belly.
(⊙o⊙)…
Qiao Qinglu and Xiao Qinyun were obviously listening carefully to the doctor's advice at the beginning, but after hearing the last sentence, they were both embarrassed. Were they so impatient?
Qiao Qinglu glared at Xiao Qinyun fiercely. Xiao Qinyun felt wronged. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time. The previous times, he had only been replaced by Qiao Qinglu's fifth daughter. How could she put the blame on him?
