Chapter 491: Chapter 490: Listening to Fetal Heartbeats
Doctor Liu handed the examination form to Shi Yu, "First go pay the fees, then head to the fifth floor for blood work."
Only then did Shi Yu take back his hand, which had been pinching Shen Cheng’s chin, and took the examination form.
"Wait here for me, no wandering off."
He left these cold words and turned to walk out.
Shen Cheng rubbed her somewhat sore chin, feeling a bit annoyed.
Doctor Liu took a tape measure from the drawer and stood up: "Follow me to the examination room inside, we need to measure your abdominal girth."
Shen Cheng hummed in acknowledgment and followed her inside.
Lying on the bed, she slightly lowered her pants as instructed by Doctor Liu, and then lifted her shirt.
Doctor Liu first warmed her hands before beginning the examination.
First was the measurement of the abdominal girth and the height of the uterus, followed by palpation to check the fetal position.
After pressing on Shen Cheng’s abdomen for about a minute, Doctor Liu furrowed her brow: "Your pelvis is too small, and since you’re carrying twins, you might experience coccyx pain later in the pregnancy."
Hearing this, Shen Cheng’s brow also furrowed, "Will I need a cesarean?"
"That’s not certain yet, it depends on the physical condition of the pregnant woman herself and the size of the fetus. If the babies are too large or if the pelvis is too small, and especially in the case of twins like this, a cesarean is recommended. Your current term is still early, so it’s not yet possible to tell whether you’ll have a natural birth or a cesarean. We’ll conduct a comprehensive examination before the delivery, so there’s no need to worry."
Shen Cheng’s frown deepened, but she said nothing more.
The thought of potentially having an incision on her body was giving her a headache.
If there’s a scar below the navel, could she still wear sexy lingerie? Dare to bare it!
After Shi Yu went downstairs to pay the fees and came back up, he pushed open the door of the examination room and saw the little woman lying on the bed, her clothes half-off, with her black panties faintly visible.
His gaze immediately darkened, and he walked over, took off his coat, and covered Shen Cheng with it.
"What are you doing?"
Caught off guard by his sudden action, Shen Cheng was a bit confused.
Shi Yu, with a cold face and thinly parted lips, said: "Too revealing."
Shen Cheng with a face full of lines: "..."
Is this man even jealous of a woman?
And if this is considered revealing, what about when giving birth...
Fortunately, Doctor Liu was experienced. She took the coat from Shen Cheng and handed it to Shi Yu: "We only need to listen to the fetal heartbeats."
"Hurry up."
Shi Yu, showing impatience, urged with an ominously dangerous glare in his eyes.
After Doctor Liu finished the disinfection process, she placed the fetal Doppler’s probe on Shen Cheng’s abdomen. Having felt the fetal position earlier, she easily found the location of the fetal hearts.
The fetal Doppler emitted sounds: "Buzz buzz buzz..."
Sometimes strong, sometimes weak, but rhythmic.
Doctor Liu looked at the counts on the fetal Doppler, listened for a minute, then shifted to another position.
The probe picked up the heartbeat of the other fetus in the lower right part of Shen Cheng’s abdomen: "Buzz, buzz buzz..."
The strong heartbeat was consistent in rhythm.
Similar to before, after listening for a minute, Doctor Liu put the probe down.
"148 and 151, the fetal heartbeats are normal."
Having said that, she handed a few clean tissues to Shen Cheng to wipe off the gel on her abdomen.
Shi Yu, seeing this, directly snatched the tissues from her hand and with tender motions began to wipe for her.
His exceptionally handsome face remained expressionless, his gaze so cold it seemed it could freeze someone into ice.
Yet his gestures were the epitome of gentleness, as if overly cautious not to hurt her, filled with indulgence.
Doctor Liu glanced at the two of them, said nothing, and walked out.
