CHAPTER 10

CHASE

Chase stood as close to the exam table as he could. Jaxson had taken up guard on the opposite side of their girl while the doctor stood at the end facing Emma.

“I’ll be starting with a simple physical examination, then we’ll perform the ultrasound. I prefer to perform a transvaginal ultrasound on my new mothers early in their pregnancy, just to make sure everything, not just the baby, is doing well in there.”

“Um, okay,” Emma answered, sounding as unsure of what that was as Chase.

The men tried to stay out of the way as the doctor called in his nurse to assist with recording Emma’s vitals. Blood pressure. Checked. Eyes, ears, and throat. Checked. Heart rate and pulse oxygen level. Checked.

They got a nice view of her bare ass again as the doctor asked Emma to accompany him to the digital scale where he first checked her height against the measurement pole.

“Five feet, six inches,” he exclaimed out-loud for the nurse to record.

As the doctor turned on the digital scale, Jaxson moved into action, stepping up close to Emma. “You’ve lost weight,” he declared, displeasure in his voice as he saw her weight.

Before she could defend herself, Dr. Tipton came to her aide. “Many women lose weight in the first trimester as they battle morning sickness. Mr. Cartwright shared that she has been having troubling keeping food down.” The doctor turned to Emma and asked, “Would you say you are feeling better or worse as the last few weeks went past?”

“Definitely worse. I used to just feel queasy but wouldn’t actually get sick. Now I get sick at least once a day, sometimes more.”

“Okay, it’s probably nothing. Just normal pregnancy symptoms, but I’ll want to watch this and if it continues, we’ll test you for hyperemesis gravidarum.”

“Excuse me?” Jaxson asked.

“It is a form of severe sickness that a small percentage of mothers experience. The good news is it doesn’t usually impact the pregnancy directly. But it can lead to not getting enough nutrients and certainly puts the mother in danger of dehydration. I have a brochure on things you can do to battle nausea I’ll give you to read at your leisure, and there is a chapter on this topic in the book I gave you. I find eating bland foods, frequently and in small quantities, while drinking as much water as you can is the best way to battle it.”

Chase pulled out his phone and started tapping out notes. He didn’t want to forget any of the important points they were learning. He’d be personally making sure Emma and the baby were getting all of the things they needed to be as healthy as possible.

“Are we ready to take a peek and find out just when we might be expecting the newest member of your family?”

Chase’s heart swelled at the doctor’s kind words. They had encountered so many judgmental people in the time they’d been together. It was a relief to have a doctor who not only accepted their unique trio, but who was doing all he could to support their complicated family situation.
