Trixie let Chummy take control a little, as she was most familiar with the equipment. They could do a simple urine test to confirm the pregnancy without sending away to a hospital, and then Chummy brought out a machine.
"Now, Mrs Pontmercy, this is absolutely smashing. It's a machine that lets us see baby. We just move this little wand here over your tummy and a picture appears on this screen. Safe as houses, of course, but we can show you your baby. What do you think? Would you like to give it a go?"
Trixie hoped she would say yes, it sounded completely fascinating.
