"Normally pregnant women need to have the first medical examination at the 12th week of pregnancy. Why didn’t you do this? Aren’t you even curious if you might be bearing twins or even triplets?"
The doctor was just making a hypothesis.
I said: "I’d like to have a birth defects test."
The doctor did a type-B ultrasonic. She didn't talk, and I didn’t ask her further questions. Later, she expressionlessly told me that I was pregnant with twins, and then reminded me of my health condition.
I was stunned when I knew that I was pregnant with twins, and the doctor asked if I wanted to listen to the fetal heart rate.
I asked her at a loss what fetal heart rate was.
She asked with a frown: "Have you become silly from the joy of the fact that you are pregnant with twins?"
I shook my head and asked: "Is it the heart beats of my babies?"
"Yes. Come and listen to it."
