After Ding Qiunan fell asleep, Li Chu tried his best to control his expression. He only breathed a sigh of relief after she left. He was really worried that he couldn't help but say it just now.
After Nurse Wang came to work, he remembered that Nurse Wang came from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, so he asked: "Sister Wang, how do we do pregnancy examinations in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department?"
Nurse Wang looked at Li Chu blankly: "Doctor Li, I didn't quite understand what you said. What is a pregnancy test?"
"When a woman is pregnant, she has to come to the hospital for regular check-ups." Li Chu looked at Nurse Wang with a strange look in his eyes. No, are you sure you are a nurse in the obstetrics and gynecology department? You must be fake.
"Do I need to have regular checkups when I'm pregnant? Why don't I know? I've never heard of it." After hearing Li Chu's explanation, Nurse Wang looked even more confused.
"I have been working in the obstetrics and gynecology department for ten years, but I have never seen any pregnant woman come for a check-up. I never had a check-up when I was pregnant before."
It was only then that Li Chu realized that there were no pregnancy checkups and accounts for pregnant women nowadays.
Nowadays, not many people come to the hospital to give birth, let alone come for a check-up. As long as there are no problems during pregnancy, they will not go to the hospital until after giving birth.
Nurse Wang saw Li Chu in a daze and asked, "Doctor Li, where did you hear that you have to come to the hospital for check-ups during pregnancy?"
"No, I haven't heard of it. It's not that my wife is pregnant. I just wanted to ask you if I need a test."
"Doctor Li, you are too nervous. It's okay. You are also a doctor. You must understand Ding Qiunan's physical condition. Don't worry." Nurse Wang said with a smile. He felt that Li Chu was making a fuss. This woman is pregnant and has a baby.
Is that so? Whoever is fine would go to the hospital for a check-up. It’s really idle.
"Haha, I don't have much experience this first time, so I'm a little worried."
After listening to Li Chu's words, Nurse Wang chuckled lightly and said no more. She lowered her head and started reading her book.
Li Chu smacked his lips, saying, after all, the hospital itself doesn't think it's necessary to do an examination, let alone the common people.
Sitting on his chair, Li Chu thought deeply. Since there are no pregnancy examinations in the obstetrics and gynecology department, there is no need to think about taking B-ultrasound to monitor fetal heart rate. It is estimated that the doctors in the B-ultrasound room have never heard of it.
Take your pulse again at home in the evening. If the pulse is still the same as at noon, then you can be sure.
Li Chu exhaled heavily. If his wife was really pregnant with twins, then her subsequent care would have to change. Twins are much more troublesome than single babies.
For a moment, Li Chu was in a state of confusion. He had no experience in taking care of pregnant women.
I saw that Qin Huairu didn't receive much care when she was pregnant. She gave birth smoothly and she gave birth at home.
No, no, my wife will be in pain, not to mention there are two children in her belly.
After confirming this tonight, I must call my sister and ask her. She has experience. I will ask my mother-in-law for advice after I have a rest this week.
I kept thinking wildly in my mind, and at the same time, another voice kept reminding me to calm down.
I really need to calm down now. No wonder people say that doctors don’t heal themselves. It’s true that caring leads to chaos.
The afternoon was spent in such confusion. Before leaving get off work, Li Chu went to the internal medicine department to borrow a stethoscope. He wanted to go back and try to see if he could hear the fetal heartbeat.
I seem to have heard in my previous life that some doctors could hear fetal heartbeats with a stethoscope.
On the way home with Ding Qiunan, Li Chu had returned to normal. Although he was still very excited, he could at least keep his expression quiet.
After returning home and eating, Li Chu pulled Ding Qiunan to sit on the sofa, took out the stethoscope, and asked her to lift up her clothes.
"What are you doing?" The girl was a little curious. Li Chu put a stethoscope on his ear and put the other end on her belly.
"Shh" signaled the girl to be silent, and then he listened carefully.
Okay, I don’t have that ability. Li Chu took off the stethoscope angrily.
"What did you hear?"
"I heard others say that you can hear fetal heartbeat with a stethoscope, so I wanted to try it, but I didn't hear anything." Li Chu explained awkwardly.
The girl looked at him and laughed: "How can you hear it?"
"Hey, don't believe it. You should be able to hear the fetal heartbeat after two months of pregnancy. Maybe I'm not capable."
After finishing speaking, he took Ding Qiunan into the study and told her that he wanted to diagnose her pulse.
"Why do you have to diagnose my pulse so well? Li Chu, you are a little strange today." Ding Qiunan was a little confused.
"Oh, I just want to check on your physical condition. Are you pregnant? I'm afraid of any changes in your body."
Li Chu did not tell his wife about his pulse test secretly at noon. He was worried that Ding Qiunan would be too excited after hearing this, causing his pulse to be unstable.
After checking her pulse with both hands, Li Chu gave her a big smile.
"Daughter-in-law, I have good news to tell you."
"Any other good news? Can you tell the difference between men and women by looking at their pulse?"
"How is it possible? Your man is a human and not a god. Who can tell the difference between male and female by pulse?" Li Chu felt like his head was full of black lines.
"Is there any good news?"
"Daughter-in-law, you have two babies in your belly. Is this good news?"
"What did you say?" After listening to Li Chu's words, Ding Qiunan's voice soared.
Li Chu walked to Ding Qiunan, held her face in his hands and asked her to raise her head and look at him.
"You heard it right, there are two babies in your belly."
"How is it possible? Li Chu, are you mistaken?" Ding Qiunan felt a little unbelievable.
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and reached out to touch her belly, then looked up at her husband again.
"I took your pulse at noon while you were sleeping. I didn't believe it at the time, but now I can tell you with certainty that I was not mistaken."
Ding Qiunan suddenly felt a little out of breath, and opened her mouth to breathe. Li Chu quickly stretched out his hand to help her.
The girl still couldn't believe it. She lifted up her clothes, looked at her already slightly swollen belly, stretched out her hand and gently stroked it back and forth, as if she could touch her baby.
"Li Chu, are you saying there are two babies in here?" Ding Qiunan lowered his head and pointed to his belly.
"That's right."
"Then what should I do?" Ding Qiunan looked a little flustered.
"Daughter-in-law, you don't have to do anything. You just need to make sure to eat well and sleep well every day. Leave the rest to me. Okay, trust me, I will take good care of you." Li Chu looked at the girl with firm eyes.

Looking at Li Chu's firm eyes, Ding Qiunan's panicked heart slowly calmed down and he nodded slowly.
