Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 871

Leia immediately went for a color doppler ultrasound examination.

When the image came out, she immediately brought it to Dr. Luis’ office and asked her to take a look at it.

The image showed that it was a mid-term pregnancy, single live birth (15W+6D), and posterior placenta.

Dr. Luis carefully read the report. She pushed the big-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and said, "Ms. Norman, you’re pregnant. The baby is 15 weeks and 6 days old."

Leia's face turned pale in an instant. She took off her sunglasses and screamed, "That’s impossible! When I was more than 30 days pregnant, I took abortion pills. I was bleeding for a few days after that. How could the child be alive?"

Dr. Luis frowned and asked Leia, "When did you take the abortion pill? How did you take it? Which doctor prescribed the abortion pill for you?"

Leia sighed and answered truthfully, "Dr. Hoover was the one who prescribed the medicine. She gave me three days worth of medicine and not long after I took them, I began to bleed. It was dark red but not a lot came out. On the third day, I felt a larger blood clot flow out of my body. I thought it was the gestational sac."

Dr. Luis frowned and said sternly, "After you took the abortion pills, didn't you come to the hospital for a B-ultrasound scan?"

Leia bit her lip and answered meekly, "At the time, I thought the gestational sac had been drained and I wasn’t experiencing any discomfort, so I didn't go to the hospital for an examination..."

"What nonsense." Dr. Luis put down the pen in her hand and rubbed her head from the headache. She said sternly, "Don’t you know it’s common sense to have a B-scan after a miscarriage? Even if that were the case, Dr. Hoover should have told you what you needed to do after taking the medicine."

"She told me, but I thought things were okay so I didn't come over."

Leia was beyond regretful and continued to ask, "Doctor, I don’t understand. I took the abortion pills! Why is the child still in me?"

Dr. Luis sighed and replied, "Dr. Hoover was taken away for investigation on suspicion of selling counterfeit drugs. Most of the drugs prescribed by her were fake. You probably took ineffective abortion pills. The blood loss you experienced after taking the medicine may have just been a sigh of a minor miscarriage. Sigh, how could she harm patients like this?!"

Leia hated Dr. Hoover with everything that she had. If that woman was not locked up, she would skin her alive.

However, she suppressed her anger because she still had a lot of questions.

She asked, "Doctor, what should I do now? Generally speaking, don't pregnant women experience nausea? My appetite has been great for the past few months and my body weight is in the same range. It’s only these past few days that my stomach started to feel uncomfortable. What's going on?"

If she had known that the baby was alive or if she had experienced any sort of symptoms, she would not have acted passively.

Dr. Luis patiently explained to her, "Generally speaking, morning sickness will appear within the first three months. You may feel nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite. But some women don’t exhibit symptoms as such. For some people, morning sickness starts after three months. This is affected by the patient’s physical fitness, liver function, or levels of bile acid. Moreover, if your placenta is in the posterior position, it might take longer for you to have these symptoms."

"I don't want this baby. Can I get an abortion?"

Dr. Luis said solemnly, "Your baby is more than three months, nearly four months old. The placenta has been formed, the fetus is larger, and the bones have started to harden. You can’t abort now. If you want to abort, you can only go for induced labor. I have to warn you that it’s far more painful than an abortion, so I suggest that you consider it carefully."
