[Star Wars] What's with the lack of gynecologists and obstetricians in the Empire?

A recent Motherboard article pointed out that apparently Padme had never gone to a doctor during her pregnancy - or, at least, never had an ultrasound or any sort of examination that revealed that there were twins (since everyone was surprised when two babies came out instead of one.)

Given that they could basically rebuild Anakin from a charred crisp, and save Luke from being mauled and frozen, and that people can effectively be placed into stasis with carbonite - why did Padme, a royal princess, never get so much as a count of how many heartbeats are in her uterus?

Because they were illegitimate bastard children that if their identity wss revealed it would have likely cost both of thr parents their reputations and careers. Anakin was already on thin ice with the Masters and Padme is a member to royalty. Imagine if Queen Elizabeth had gotten knocked up by her bodyguard.

The pregnancy was a secret. She wasn't too obvious and she didn't go to doctors because word would have gotten out.
