Zoe went back to work and went through to cubicle were she she was treating a pregnant women who had experienced some spotting after being involved in a car accident.
'Hello, I'm Dr Hanna but you can call me Zoe. Is it ok if I examine your stomach?' Zoe asked the nervous young lady.
'Yeah that's fine' she replied while holding on to what Zoe presumed was her husbands hand.
As Zoe was gently pressing on her stomach she winced.
'Sorry if I hurt you' Zoe replied as she pulled up her top and noticed bruising on her stomach.
'Everything feels fine but I will get a scan to check. You have slight bruising from the seat belt but luckily you ha it in the correct place under your bump which shouldn't effect your baby' Zoe explained to them before she left the cubicle to go get a scan and a Doppler.
Zoe returned a short while later with the scan and a Doppler.
Zoe tucked so tissue into her trousers. 'This is going to be cold' Zoe informed the women as she squeezed the gel onto her stomach. Zoe grabbed the scan and placed it on her stomach and studied the screen. Zoe turned the screen around to show the parents.
'You have a healthy little baby In there' she told them both.
'Thank you so much Dr Hanna' the women said.
'It my job and please call em Zoe. Would you like a copy and to here the heart beat?' Zoe asked the young couple.
'Yes please Zoe' the women replied.
Zoe handed them to copies before getting the Doppler and placing it on her stomach a short while later the cubicle was filled with the heart beat.
'Good strong heart beat. Everything seems fine you can be discharge, you just need plenty of rest' Zoe told them both.
'Thank you so much Zoe' they bin said at the same time as they signed the discharge papers and left the cubicle.

'Yeah, I'm just thinking' Zoe replied.
'Dangerous that is' connie replied causing Zoe to laugh.
'I know' Zoe said making Connie laugh.

'Not long then' Zoe said smiling thinking that could be her soon.
'I know I can't wait' Connie added on as she rested her hands on her bump.
