Reborn next door twins first grow up

Chapter 638: Another Prenatal Checkup Fee (Part )

"Lingyi... I know you are angry, but I suggest you don't get angry for now."

Although he could not suppress his excitement, Lu Man could not suppress the smile on his face: "Don't take any cold medicine or other medicines these days, and don't drink strong tea, coffee or soda. Oh, and stay away from Hanhan and Daodao. We will buy some test strips later."

"What?" Gu Lingyi was confused.

"Early pregnancy test paper." Lu Man looked at his wife expectantly.

Gu Jiaer, who was holding her sister's arm, had a smiling face and looked like she was enjoying herself, but when she heard Lu Man's words, her face froze, as if she was petrified.

"Ling... Lingyi?"

Gu Jiaer turned to look at her sister in disbelief, while Gu Lingyi already looked completely confused and naive.

"No way?"

Gu Lingyi subconsciously lowered her head and gently touched her belly. She murmured softly, "I just finished preparing for pregnancy... so soon?"

"Brother, so, in two days, we can use a pregnancy test stick to test and find out whether Ling Yi is pregnant or not?"

Gu Jiaer asked Xiang Luman with astonishment.

"It's almost there, but the test strips may be too inaccurate." Lu Man explained, "If there are two bars, go to the hospital for a blood test next week to see if the hcg has doubled. Then it will be accurate."

"me……"

Gu Lingyi was a little confused for a moment when she heard the news.

She subconsciously tiptoed forward, and Lu Man saw this and gently embraced her in his arms.

"Lingyi, Jiaer and I are with you."

Lu Man comforted him, "Since we are not sure whether it is a mistake, let's test it ourselves privately first, and then tell our parents when the results are clear and more stable."

"Hmm..." Gu Lingyi responded softly. At this moment, her husband's embrace and caring voice made her feel at ease.

"It should be accurate now." Gu Jiaer muttered to the side, "Lingyi and I are not more than a few days apart. The latest time, she was four days behind me... Let's check again in two days, and we will definitely find out."

……

A few days later, Gu Lingyi bought an early pregnancy test, and the result was positive; so after the weekend, Lu Man called the twin sisters and went to the hospital to have Gu Lingyi checked.

"Isn't it said that under normal circumstances, the chance of pregnancy is not high?"

On the way to the hospital, Gu Lingyi sat in the back seat, leaning on her sister Jiaer's shoulder, and whispered, "The pregnancy preparation book says that the probability of a couple getting pregnant naturally is about 10%. It's common for many couples to not get pregnant for more than a year after they start trying to have a child."

"No matter how low the probability is, Ling Yini will secretly increase the frequency."

"Jia Er you!"

Gu Jiaer dodged her sister's hand that was pulling her ear, leaned forward, and changed the subject: "Brother, if the index checked today is very high, does it mean that Lingyi is pregnant from now on?"

"Well, hcg stands for human chorionic gonadotropin. If you're not pregnant, it's below 5. After you're pregnant, it'll soar, and that's when you can declare a pregnancy."

After Lu Man finished speaking, he corrected her, "Your sister is not pregnant now. According to the calculation of pregnancy weeks, it should start from the end of your last menstrual period. So after the diagnosis, your sister is already more than five weeks pregnant."

  "Is that so?" ×2

Gu Lingyi and Gu Jiaer whispered at the same time.

"Forget about Jia'er. She doesn't care about these things."

Lu Man wanted to poke his wife: "Lingyi, what's wrong with you? Where is the pregnancy preparation handbook you promised? Haven't you prepared any knowledge points about early pregnancy?"

"I..." Gu Lingyi paused and immediately defended herself, "How could I have known it would be so soon! Sister Xixi got married many years earlier than me, and they don't have a baby yet..."

Lu Man smiled but said nothing. She was not in a hurry to read the various precautions after pregnancy. She was probably focusing on the postures to improve the success rate during the pregnancy preparation period...

"Besides, and." Gu Lingyi thought of another excuse, "I'm preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination! I don't have time to seriously study other things..."

"The postgraduate entrance exam was at the end of last year. You haven't looked at it in the first half of this year?"

"I'm preparing for the exam at the end of this year, how can I not do that!"

After Gu Lingyi shouted loudly, her voice became weaker again: "But it's probably going to be a failure. By the end of the year, I guess you'll be pregnant, right?"

After arriving at the hospital for testing, it was confirmed that the hcg level was too high, and the doctor asked them to come for an early pregnancy ultrasound next week.

Lu Man folded the list and put it in his pocket. He tightened his fingers and crumpled the paper.

On the way home, he bought some snacks such as soda crackers and lemon slices to relieve morning sickness.

"Drink some soy milk, black sesame paste, and eat some fruits like grapefruit this week."

As Lu Man gave these instructions, Gu Lingyi pouted slightly: "Will Aunt Jing... and my mother-in-law find out?" After the three of them discussed it, they didn't intend to hide it from their parents, but they wanted to wait until they were sure that everything was normal with the baby before announcing the good news to both families, so as to avoid telling them too early in case something unexpected happens. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"Tell your mother about it." Lu Man thought for a moment and said, "Next time you come for a checkup, let your mother come with you."

This way, Gu Lingyi can feel more at ease.

"Yeah." Gu Jiaer nodded. "Mom has been a little confused these past few days. Why doesn't Lingyi want to go home? When she finally goes back, she avoids Hanhan and Daodao."

"It's actually not impossible to keep a cat during pregnancy."

Lu Man continued, "I'm most afraid of Toxoplasma infection, but as long as Daodao is dewormed and examined, and he's not fed raw meat, and Lingyi doesn't touch his cat litter, there will be no problem. I'm also worried about scratches... Jiaer, keep an eye on Daodao. At least besides Lingyi and Daodao, there's someone watching over him all the time, so basically nothing will happen."

Considering that Daodao is not a wild cat and has always been well-behaved at home for so many years, Gu Lingyi has long regarded him as a member of the family. When he was in college, Gu Jiaer brought him to the apartment to accompany her and her sisters.

If this "brother-in-law" could provide occasional comfort and entertainment for Gu Lingyi during her pregnancy, it would also be a way to make the pregnant woman happy.

"The road is full."

Gu Lingyi suddenly opened her mouth: "Do you have any recommended books to read while pregnant?"

“Yes.”

Lu Man nodded and replied, "'Heidi's Pregnancy Encyclopedia' is quite comprehensive. In my 'previous life' I also read a book called 'Union Hospital Experts' Pregnancy Encyclopedia'. I specifically searched for it, but it hasn't been published yet - I'll find two more high-quality books."

"Buy it for me."

Gu Lingyi said unconvincedly: "It's obviously me who is pregnant, but you are talking so clearly and knowing so much more than me. This makes me look so stupid."

"Now that my wife is pregnant, I have to learn more and provide more comprehensive care. Isn't this what a husband should do?" Lu Man said with a smile.

……

A week later, Lu Man, the twins, and his mother-in-law Wen Yi came to the hospital.

Gu Lingyi was lying on the bed. The doctor was a woman about the same age as Wen Yi. She moved her hands slowly and her eyes were fixed on the ultrasound display screen.

Lu Man and Gu Jiaer sat aside, also staring at the screen.

"Brother, do you understand?"

"I was reading a pregnancy guide, not a medical textbook...of course I couldn't understand it."

"Then you're still staring."

Lu Man kept his eyes on the small screen, even though he couldn't understand what it was - but in a sense, this was the first time he saw his baby - although according to the sixth week of pregnancy, the baby was only the size of a blueberry.

The doctor looked at it carefully for a while, then suddenly turned to Gu Lingyi's face, and then looked at Gu Jiaer again.

She said to Lu Man, "Go and pay for another prenatal checkup."

Sudden——

Lu Man stood up suddenly, his expression of surprise was beyond words. He looked at Gu Lingyi in surprise, and anyone could see how excited he was.

Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something. An incredible expression flashed across his face, and was replaced by a happy smile.

She held her daughter Lingyi's hand. Gu Lingyi was still confused and didn't know why her husband and mother suddenly had such expressions.

Gu Jiaer was even more stunned. She combined the details the doctor had seen about the sisters before and after, and heard the doctor ask Lu Man to pay another prenatal check-up fee. Her mind went haywire for a moment. She thought the doctor had seen through something and guessed that the twins were pregnant at the same time.

  How could there be such an outrageous guess!

Gu Jiaer screamed in her heart.

  She didn’t have her period delayed, nor did she suffer from morning sickness like her sister!

"I-I'm not. I didn't."

Gu Jiaer waved her hands quickly and explained in a panic: "I'm sure I'm not pregnant..."

As soon as he said this, he was met with a cold eye from his mother Wen Yi.

"Doctor." Lu Man's voice trembled slightly, he was extremely excited and happy, "Are they twins?"

Gu Lingyi and Gu Jiaer were both stunned.

"Well, for twins, you need to pay two prenatal examination fees, one to check the fetal heart rate and fetal buds, and issue two independent examination reports."

The female doctor didn't expect that there was only one man in the room, and he was the most knowledgeable: "Go ahead and deliver it. I'll continue to check your wife - both babies are in good condition, don't worry."
