Jace kissed him back softly “How do you know?” He asked worriedly right before the doctor came back in with his colleague walking back over to Jace.
Dr Channing smiled at Jacks “Jace this is Dr Collings, he will just be looking at your ultrasound with me. We’re just going to confirm some things. So your conception date was the 15th of June so you’re twenty weeks today correct?”
Jace sighed exasperated “Yes, for the third time, that is correct. Now, tell me what’s wrong with our baby” he said biting his lip worriedly as the doctor picked the transducer wand back up and began to rub it over his stomach gently.
As Dr Channing ran the transducer over his stomach he spoke “I told you both before there is nothing wrong with your baby, it’s just an unusual situation so I want Dr Collings to confirm what I’m thinking. You’ve also dealt with extreme morning sickness and exhaustion correct?” He asked with Jace nodding continuing to look at the screen where their baby was “See?” He said looking back at Dr Collings pointing at the screen and down the bottom where the measurement section was. Dr Collings nodded “Yeah, I think you’re right, all the symptoms seem correct” he said crossing his eyes
Jace was about to lose his mind “Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?!” He frowned getting angrier and more worried by the second. The doctor froze the screen and turned to them both.
Dr Channing sighed “It’s nothing horrible, it’s a rare condition, there haven’t been many cases in this country with it. You have Gigasuterine. Basically, the baby is growing more rapidly and bigger than normal. It puts a lot of pressure on your stomach and later in the pregnancy your other organs, but it’s why you can’t keep food down, the baby pushes against the stomach meaning the food rises and your body then takes this as you can’t digest it and pushes it out. It sounds really strange but you will need to eat on all fours and then remain in that position for half an hour to digest the food enough where it won’t come back up. The normal morning sickness will still subside by the fifth month but from that point on your baby will not stop growing, every day you’ll be a little bigger. I would suggest working less which I know you don’t want however this will be very stressful on your body, leading up to the birth, probably from week 34 onwards you will need to start stretching your hole to prepare for the baby if you still plan on having a natural birth, obviously you know that caesareans are highly dangerous for males so we always do that as a last resort. I can give you information on all of this on your next appointment which we will set for two weeks as I want to keep an eye on you more closely with something of this nature.”
Jace looked at him shocked “I’m having a huge baby? That’s what you needed to tell me? You could have said that much faster and not giving me a heart attack!” He said angrily. Dr Channing looked at Dr Collings before looking back at Jace “Jace, it’s not just a big baby, the cases of this that have happened, the babies have often been 25-30 pounds or 12-14kg” he said softly, Jace didn’t seem fazed by this so the doctor added “An average newborn is between 5.5 and 10 pounds or 2.5-5kg”, Jace felt his mouth fall open “So…it’s like three times as big as a newborn?” He whimpered scared “And you want me to birth that naturally?” He said shaking a little
