Chapter 15: Tremors
"Look, he's eating his hands, here, here, see?"
"yes, I see."
"Look at it, stretch out, you little guy is so interesting."
Xiaoqi's eyes widened, staring at the computer screen of the ultrasound.
The little guy on the screen with a big head, a curved body, thin arms and thin legs is really stretching his waist, like a movie in slow motion, pouting his little buttocks, and his two small hands clenched into fists are slowly stretched to both sides.
Xiaoqi couldn't help but laugh, laughing and laughing, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes.
"Yo, why are you crying? It's about to be a mother, it's so exciting, isn't it? The doctor jokingly said.
Xiaoqi wiped the tears from her face and said to the doctor longingly, "Can you let me see it a little longer?" ”
The doctor smiled kindly, "Okay, let's take a good look." Life itself is a miracle, and the gestation process of life is the most arduous process of a mother. Look, this is the umbilical cord, the fetus absorbs the mother's nutrients through this thin belt, look at this big head, how long this spine is, it must not be small. Look at your mother's thinness, all the nutrients are sucked away by the child, listen to this heartbeat, how powerful, definitely a healthy child. ”
Xiaoqi watched greedily, her eyes caressed every inch of the fetus's skin, the big-headed doll-like head, the body curled up, thin little arms, small hands, and small feet, this is the little baby who has grown in her belly for more than nine months, this is the little guy who makes her spit out all her bile and kicks her every day, baby, I am your mother, can you see me? ”
"Okay, I can't look at it anymore, although ultrasound has no effect on the fetus, it's not good if it takes too long. Okay, it's not long before it's time to give birth, and give birth to let you see enough. ”
Looking at the image of the fetus on the screen with a dumbfounded gaze, Xiaoqi nodded slightly. In a few days, the due date will be reached, and the baby will leave her body, and when the time comes, she will never see him again.
"Here, I'll print you a copy and keep it as a souvenir."
"Thank you!"
Xiaoqi took the thin sheet, his hands trembling so much that he could barely hold it.
Pushing open the door of the perinatal care room, Xiaoqi saw Uncle Qiang with an anxious face at a glance.
"How's it going?" Uncle Qiang restrained his eagerness and asked gently.
"Don't worry. The fetus is developing very well, it is healthy, the fetal position is also very positive, the amniotic fluid index is normal, and there is no problem with full-term delivery. The doctor who came out later replied with a smile.
"Ah, that's good, that's good." Uncle Qiang was relieved and couldn't help but smile.
"Doctor, can I go through the hospitalization procedures?"
"There are still a few days before the due date, if you want to stay, you can also live, the hospital is well-conditioned, and you can monitor the fetal heart rate at any time."
"Then be hospitalized, right? It's safer that way. Uncle Qiang looked at Xiaoqi inquiringly and said.
"Okay, you can arrange it." Xiaoqi nodded.
"Okay, I'll go open the hospitalization bill now, arrange the bed, and I can move in at any time." The doctor smiled and patted Xiaoqi on the shoulder, turned and walked away.
"Uncle Qiang, I want to go back first, pack up the things I want to bring, and move in tomorrow, do you think it's okay?" Xiaoqi thought about it for a moment and said.
"Alright, alright, I'll send you back now. But don't be too tired, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. ”
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
Walking out behind Uncle Qiang, Xiaoqi quietly stuffed the photo of the fetus that had been held in the palm of his hand into his pocket.
