The painful cries of the pregnant women resounded in the obstetrics and gynecology ward of the hospital, accompanied by the nervous comforting voices of the family members.
This was a three-person ward for pregnant women who had not yet had their third incision. Their family members could accompany them.
Now there were three pregnant women in the ward. The pregnant woman in her thirties in the middle was in the most pain. Not only could she not help screaming, but she also bit her husband's arm to endure the pain. The pregnant woman on the left was also in her thirties. Although she was also in pain, she did not scream. The pregnant woman on the right was in her mid-twenties and was slightly in pain.
The pain during childbirth depended on the physical condition of the pregnant woman.
Because there was no painless delivery technology in this hospital, they were not going to have a cesarean section. Painkillers could not be used for natural childbirth because it would inhibit the contraction of the uterus and make it impossible for the delivery to go smoothly. Therefore, the normal pain could only be endured by the pregnant women with their own willpower.
This kind of pain was normal in the obstetrics ward, but these pregnant women and their husbands were experiencing it for the first time, so the more time passed, the more anxious they became.
Xu Jianxun was like this. His wife, Wei Ru, had been in the ward for two days and had not had her third incision. His wife was also strong. The pregnant woman next to her was screaming loudly, but she almost did not make a sound. However, her frowning brows and twitching face showed that she was in pain.
If his mother and mother-in-law were not there, Xu Jianxun might not know what to do.
"Honey, drink some water." At this time, he handed his wife a glass of water again. The doctor said that drinking more water would help the delivery.
"I feel more and more pain …" Lying on the bed, Wei Ru reluctantly drank a mouthful of hot water. "It seems that I'm about to give birth …"
"I'll call the nurse." Xu Jianxun quickly stood up. With the two old mothers continuing to accompany him, he hurried out of the ward.
Outside in the corridor, he ran to the nurse's station. Xu Jianxun hurriedly said to a middle-aged nurse, "Nurse Li, my wife said it's more painful. Come and have a look." Hearing this, Nurse Li stopped what she was doing and got up to follow him.
Xu Jianxun followed Nurse Li back to the ward and watched her examine his wife. He said, "It's the third incision. Change to a single room and get ready to enter the delivery room."
His heart suddenly buzzed, and his mind went blank. He continued to busy himself and accompanied his wife to the prenatal room. In less than half an hour, his wife was pushed into the delivery room by a nurse on a mobile bed. Her cries of pain grew louder and louder.
In this hospital, when a pregnant woman gave birth naturally, the husband could enter the delivery room to accompany her, but he had to sign the relevant agreement in advance and perform the aseptic operation.
Xu Jianxun chose to enter the delivery room. He told the two old mothers not to worry and was led to the changing room by the nurse to change into sterile clothes. He put on a mask and gloves before entering the delivery room. Doctor Chen, who was in charge of the delivery, and a group of nurses were at the side of the bed. Wei Ru was about to give birth.
Dr. Chen was a middle-aged female doctor. She had been in the obstetrics and gynecology department for many years and had a good reputation. There had never been any accidents under her care.
However, Xu Jianxun was already sweating profusely before he reached the delivery bed. Even the bright light of the shadowless lamp could not dispel the anxiety in his heart.
"Honey, you can do it, you can do it." He walked to his wife's side, held her right hand tightly, and encouraged her.
"Ah …" Wei Ru had already started the labor after listening to Doctor Chen's words.
They had been married for two years, plus the three years they had been dating. They had been together for five years. At first, they had met at work. At that time, they had both just graduated from university and started working. They got along well, and later on, things happened naturally.
After two years of marriage, they had a harmonious relationship. Even during the year when Wei Ru was pregnant, there were very few conflicts.
Xu Jianxun was a person who liked children, and so was Wei Ru.
They planned to have a second child in five years because they felt that the baby would be lonely without siblings. They also wanted to have another child, and it would be best if they had both sons and daughters.
As for this first child, because Xu Jianxun's family went to the hospital to ask an acquaintance to help them, they already knew the gender of the baby in advance. It was a girl. Wei Ru had been pregnant for ten months, and all the routine pregnancy tests had gone smoothly. Now, the whole family was looking forward to the arrival of this little angel.
Xu Jianxun and Wei Ru had already decided on a name for their daughter. Because she was born in early autumn in October, she would be called Xu Qiuyue.
This was mainly Xu Jianxun's idea. He felt that the name was nice, refreshing, and artistic.
"Ah …" Wei Ru's painful cry of labor pulled Xu Jianxun's thoughts back to the delivery room.
Although he didn't really understand it, he still looked at the screen of the equipment next to him from time to time. There should be no problem …
"Harder, harder," Doctor Chen encouraged. His voice was full of energy, and it gave people a sense of confidence. "The baby's head is out, and the situation is going well."
Xu Jianxun didn't look over. He just held his wife's hand tightly and passed his strength to her. "Come on, come on, it's almost done …"
The previous examination said that the fetus was in the "cephalic position," which meant that the head of the fetus was facing down in the uterus. This was the best position. Wei Ru's fetus was in the right position, and the pelvis was also big. Thirty years old wasn't considered old, so theoretically, it wasn't difficult to give birth. This was also the reason why they chose to give birth naturally.
Even so, Xu Jianxun looked at his wife's sweaty head and painful face, and his heart couldn't stop worrying.
He thought to himself that he would have to give in to his wife in everything in the future, because it was so hard for his wife to give birth …
"Almost there, use more force!" Dr. Chen said again.
This period of time was very torturous for Xu Jianxun. He didn't know how he and his wife got through it. It was as if he suddenly saw Doctor Chen lifting a baby with both hands. The baby was still dripping with blood, and the skin was wrinkled. The uncut umbilical cord was still connected to the placenta that was still in the mother's body.
"Wife, the baby is out!" Xu Jianxun couldn't help but say excitedly. Immediately, another thought came to his mind. Why wasn't the baby crying?
The baby in Doctor Chen's hands was calm, and it didn't cry as it should have.
"Don't be nervous, the alveoli haven't opened yet," Doctor Chen said as he skillfully patted the baby's butt.
Under normal circumstances, a baby that couldn't cry naturally would be stimulated by the outside world, and it would cry, open the alveoli, and breathe.
If the baby didn't cry, or the cry was very weak, it was trouble, and it was very likely that they would need to rescue it.
Therefore, at that moment, Doctor Chen and the group of nurses were actually a little nervous.
As Doctor Chen patted the baby, the bloody and sticky baby opened its mouth slightly. Its eyes were still closed, and its throat moved slightly, and its vocal cords were rubbing against each other. Suddenly, the baby let out a hoarse and tender voice, and it sounded like it was saying:
"… negative choice …"
Xu Jianxun was stunned, and so was Doctor Chen. The group of nurses didn't know what was going on, and Wei Ru was confused and anxious.
As soon as he finished speaking, the baby began to wail loudly.
At the same time, hearing this loud and powerful cry, the two old mothers waiting in the corridor outside the delivery room laughed excitedly and happily.
Listening to this cry, this baby girl must be very healthy.
