Dr Channing walked in looking over his clipboard before sitting behind his desks and smiling up at the couple “Hey Jace and Michael” he said softly before typing something on his computer to pull up the file “So, we’re here for the 20 week check up today right?” He smiled comfortingly at both of them.
Jace nodded nervously “Yes and we have some…um….issues? We’d like to ask you about. I’ve just, I’ve been really really sick, more than I think is normal. And I’m exhausted, the morning sickness just wakes me up constantly and it’s just really difficult with those things and also trying to continue working with my current workload, which is not reduced yet but I didn’t think it would be this affected at this stage” he said biting his lip.
Dr Channing nodded and wrote something on his clipboard “Well, as you know, some male births the morning sickness does last until the fifth month unfortunately but don’t worry, when we do the ultrasound I’ll check the baby out and we can get your bloods taken to check if there’s any vitamins or if there is something wrong. But I don’t want you to worry, some people just get more sick than others, I can prescribe you something but it doesn’t always work and sometimes has side effects, like it can cause you to become more lethargic and you would probably be sleeping more than you would not and with your work I don’t think you would like that option”
Jace sighed and nodded looking over at Michael, they both knew he wouldn’t want to lose any more time than possible in his work. Most would say he was too dedicated to his job. He rubbed his tender stomach gently “I suppose one more month of this won’t kill me…” he sighed a little
Dr Channing smiled sympathetically and nodded “Okay, well how about we get you up on the bed and we look at this baby!” He grinned before standing up and set up the sonogram as Jace got comfortable on the bed. He grabbed the gel “Sorry for the cold” he said softly before squirting some onto Jace’s stomach gently.
Jace gasped softly from the cold and tightened his grip on Michael’s hand nervously as the doctor ran the transducer wand spreading out the gel and then running across the bottom of his stomach gently looking for the baby.
Dr Channing took very little time and frowned a little moving it around, making sure the heartbeat could be heard so they didn’t worry but continued moving the wand around almost curiously.
Jace bit his lip looking at the doctor nervously “What’s wrong?” He asked scared looking over at Michael before looking back at Dr Channing. Dr Channing shook his head at Jace “Nothing is wrong per se, are you sure the date of conception is correct?”. Jace frowned looking at Michael curiously “Yes? It was the night I got back from doing a story overseas and then I flew out the next day for another week” he said curiously.
Dr Channing put the wand down for a second and got up for a second “I’m just going to call a colleague, I’ll be right back” he said softly and smiled gently at them “Don’t worry, nothing is wrong with the baby, and this may help explain what’s happening to you in regards to your morning sickness and exhaustion” he said softly before walking out.
Jace looked at Michael terrified “What does that mean?” He said scared “Did I do something wrong? Is our baby growing wrong?” He shook a little.
Jace nodded nervously “Yes and we have some…um….issues? We’d like to ask you about. I’ve just, I’ve been really really sick, more than I think is normal. And I’m exhausted, the morning sickness just wakes me up constantly and it’s just really difficult with those things and also trying to continue working with my current workload, which is not reduced yet but I didn’t think it would be this affected at this stage” he said biting his lip.
