　　Blind examination will "disturb" the fetus

　　Zhang Hongping, deputy director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said that because expectant mothers are worried about the health of their unborn children and have little experience, it is easy for them to become overly nervous, which is detrimental to their children's development.
