"Ah, hubby, my stomach hurts …"
In the delivery ward, Liu Yiqi bit the arm of her husband, Du Hongwen, who was sitting by the bed. She bit down hard to resist the pain. Du Hongwen grimaced in pain, but he still let his wife bite. "Honey, bite. Bite if you feel comfortable …"
After her water broke yesterday morning, it had been almost a day, but she still hadn't opened three fingers.
Du Hongwen really felt like a year. Both of his arms were bitten by his wife until there was no space left to bite.
However, as Ye Wen said, there were no men who were afraid of their wives in this world. There were only men who respected their wives.
So be it. As long as his wife felt comfortable, it was fine as long as she and the baby were safe …
However, this made their mothers, who were also accompanying them, feel their hearts ache. When Du Hongwen went out to get hot water, Liu Yiqi's mother persuaded again, "Daughter, if you're in pain, just bear with it. You'll still be in pain if you bite off a piece of flesh from Hongwen's hand."
"I know …" Liu Yiqi whimpered. "But if I don't bite, I'll really die."
"Bah bah bah!" Her mother immediately panicked. How could she say such an unlucky word when she was about to give birth? Du Hongwen's mother immediately put her palms together and prayed anxiously for Goddess Guanyin's blessing. The young man said the wrong thing, and it didn't count. Goddess Guanyin, bless …
Liu Yiqi didn't know if her prayers were effective, but not long after Du Hongwen returned from fetching the water, Liu Yiqi finally opened up three fingers and cried out in pain.
Not long after, she was pushed into the delivery room by the nurse. Du Hongwen also came in to accompany her and stood by the delivery bed to encourage his wife.
This time, Liu Yiqi didn't bite. She used her fingers to pinch the flesh of her husband's arm. She used as much strength as she was in pain.
Du Hongwen didn't know how painful it was for a woman to give birth, but at this moment, he was really in pain …
"It's almost done, use more strength." The delivery doctor, Dr. He, encouraged him. "It's coming out, use more strength!"
Amidst the screams of the mother and the shouts of the bystanders, a newborn baby covered in blood came into this world. It was still connected to an umbilical cord.
But this baby girl did not immediately give the world a cry.
Doctor He patted the baby girl's butt. The nurses and Du Hongwen eagerly waited for her to cry. Liu Yiqi, who was already in a daze from the pain, looked at the blurry scene before her and mumbled, "Baby … What happened to the baby …"
Suddenly, the baby girl's throat, which was still sticky with blood, moved. She uttered a childish, strange, and clear sentence.
"… I'm choosing …"
Then, amid the crowd's bewilderment, the crisp sound of crying rang out.
…
"Honey, hang in there. I'll be fine soon!"
The nurse pushed the mobile hospital bed into the delivery room. Zhang Xingjun quickly followed by her side, encouraging his wife, Huang Sihan, who was already crying.
They were university classmates and got married as soon as they graduated. A year later, they were going to be parents. Both of them were still very young, only 23 years old, but they were very happy that they were about to become parents. They were full of expectations and confidence for the future. They loved each other, and the child was the product of their love. This was very fortunate.
Since yesterday, when she was about to give birth, Zhang Xingjun saw his wife suffer so much. He regretted not insisting that she choose a C-section.
However, Huang Sihan knew a lot and had considered a lot. C-section also had pain, and recovery was even longer than natural birth.
Her physical condition was not bad, and the fetus was fine. Moreover, it was said that natural birth was better for the baby, so she insisted on natural birth.
"Hubby, I can hold on …" Although Huang Sihan was crying bitterly, she also regretted not choosing a C-section. However, she knew that this was just a thought when she was in pain. After she got over it, she would have a different thought …
Natural birth was better for the baby. As long as it was good for the baby, it was worth it to suffer a little more.
When a person was in pain, their consciousness would drift.
Huang Sihan had this kind of intermittent change to the changes around her. She didn't know why, but she was already on the delivery bed in the delivery room. Doctor Wang, who was in charge of the delivery, encouraged her, and Zhang Xingjun, who was accompanying her, constantly cheered her on.
"Harder, harder, the baby's head is coming out! The body is coming out … Okay, okay, it's a boy. "
Dr. Wang's words were like music to Huang Sihan's ears. She immediately collapsed.
She had used up all her strength and energy. If she didn't hold on, she might have fainted.
However, she still remembered and waited for the baby's cry … Why hasn't the baby cried yet …
"Doctor Wang?" Zhang Xingjun couldn't help but ask nervously. He looked at his wife, then looked at the son who hadn't been wiped clean and whose umbilical cord hadn't been cut. He seemed to be very small. He didn't know if he weighed 2.5 pounds. However, during the pregnancy, the couple and both parents had done everything. The nutrition was definitely enough.
Doctor Wang didn't say anything. His rich experience in delivering babies didn't make him panic. Many babies didn't cry smoothly when they were born.
However, this baby was a little light. He hoped it was okay. Doctor Wang held the baby in one hand and patted the baby's butt with the other.
The baby boy, who had his eyes closed, opened his mouth slightly. His bloody throat moved, but he let out a tender, hoarse, but clear voice.
"… Negative choice …"
Then, the baby boy cried. His cry was quite clear.
However, Doctor Wang, the nurses, and Zhang Xingjun were all at a loss. They didn't have the joy that they should have.
…
"Harder, harder, the baby's head is already out."
In the delivery room, the delivery doctor, Doctor Yang, was encouraging. Guo Xuerui held the hand of his wife, Yu Shanshan, who was lying on the delivery bed. He couldn't wait to help her.
Yu Shanshan had already used all her strength. She really didn't know that she could withstand so much pain in the past. She didn't understand why she would feel dizzy when she had an injection in the past. Compared to now, injections were like mosquito bites …
With a long cry, she suddenly used all her strength. Suddenly, she vaguely heard Doctor Yang say loudly, "Okay! The baby is out. "
However, Doctor Yang immediately discovered the problem. The nurses and Guo Xuerui also discovered the problem. The baby boy seemed to be still asleep and didn't cry.
Guo Xuerui's heart tightened. Doctor Yang told them not to worry and patted the baby's butt.
The fat baby, who could weigh six pounds, moved his throat slightly. His small hands and feet were also stretching out. His opened mouth suddenly made a sound, but it made Guo Xuerui and Yu Shanshan's hearts even tighter. It also made Doctor Yang stunned. She almost let go of the baby's hands. She had delivered babies for many years and had never seen something like this.
It wasn't a cry, nor was it a babble. It was a clear voice.
"… It's a draw …"
Then, this bloody and wrinkled baby flattened his mouth and let out a cry, giving him the world he had come to.
