C9 Severe Pain

"Lu Tao, hurry up and take a look. Is there anything else you're missing?" The cry of a mother-in-law came from the house.

The day that I have been looking forward to for a long time is about to arrive. In another two days, it will be the expected delivery date, and these few days Lu Tao will be back early. Looking at Lu Tao's busy figure, I vaguely feel that this little life of his will completely break the barrier between us.

"Mom, we're still missing a cushion."

"Yes, yes. Let's go under the tea table and have a look."

"Found it."

I sat there without moving, dragging my stomach with both hands. Later on, my feet started to swell, mainly because when my stomach got bigger, my back hurt a lot. This way, I could at least relieve some of the pain.

"It's about time."

"Lu Tao."

I shouted and Lu Tao hurriedly ran over, "Nian, is there something wrong with you?"

"Nope, your head is covered in sweat from all the work. Take a break." I picked up a tissue and gently wiped it. Lu Tao smiled and said, "I'll go check it again."

The list was made up in advance according to the online list of pregnant women. There were children and adults, and there were a lot of things to pay attention to when giving birth. Everything must be clean and kept warm, or it will be very troublesome in the future.

"Not a few, not a few either. Mom, look at your age, I'll take my stuff to the car first." After saying that, Lu Tao took his bag and walked out. I have become the main target of protection now. Grandma heard the sound and quickly came out.

The room was booked in advance using some connections. It was currently the peak of childbirth, so it wasn't easy to live in a single room like this. Lu Tao had already arranged all of this beforehand and even invited a relatively famous obstetric director.

I got off the elevator, walked in the direction of the car, and checked the hospital. Grandma followed me to check that the amniotic fluid was normal, and that the baby's umbilical cord was twirled around the neck twice through the B-ultrasound. The doctor suggested that a laparotomy be performed because there was a certain risk that the cord would wrap around the neck, which would probably cause the baby to be hypoxic during the process of delivery.

Nanny insisted on going with the flow. According to Nanny, before women didn't even need to go to the hospital to have children, they could just find a midwife in the countryside.

Later on, the person Lu Tao hired came over. He looked at the B-Super-Single and said that it would go smoothly. There would be a midwife to help, because the umbilical cord was relatively smooth and the baby would always be in amniotic fluid, so there wouldn't be any problems.

After all, this method is good for the child, and it is also easier to recover after giving birth. The most important part is that I really can't stand to be cut in my smooth stomach, leaving behind such a long scar.

The second day I came to the hospital, it started to hurt so much that my head was covered in sweat. Luckily, Lu Tao was by my side at this time, he kept grabbing my arm, and because of the intense pain, I couldn't stand up straight.

This was the contraction of the cervix, which meant that the child was really going to be born.

The first time I went to examine the entrance of the palace was the degree to which the cervix was opened. It was extremely awkward, even though it was a woman, but thinking about taking off her clothes to be looked at made me feel uncomfortable, so I had no choice but to follow her request. I could only lay on top, vaguely seeing her wearing a glove and stuffing it into the palace from the bottom.

My body suddenly straightened up. I was extremely nervous, and that person started to be unhappy. If it was me, she wouldn't be able to check it out. She's already married, so what's there to be nervous about.

I understood what she meant, and looked at some of the information in advance. To check the orifice was to put your finger through the vagina, to test the extent to which the orifice was open, and to prepare for labor if it was above three fingers.

"One finger, you've been suffering from pain for so long, if you want to successfully give birth to your child, then go around everywhere." I pulled up my pants and got down. The woman's face was very serious, and she looked at the list in my hand. It said when the pain started.

"Alright, I understand."

Thinking about coming back later, he began to feel conflicted. He had no choice but to endure the pain as he walked step by step in the corridor of the ward. If his cervix didn't meet the standard then he would have to undergo laparotomy.

The second time was not bad. With the experience of the first time, it went well. The entrance to the palace opened three and a half fingers, and so I was escorted by a nurse into the maternity ward.

When I entered, there were already two people waiting inside. One was a bit old and had a very bad complexion, only later did I find out that this woman was thirty-six and had gotten pregnant with great difficulty. When she was seven months pregnant, she suddenly suffered a sharp pain and the entrance of the palace opened two fingers.

Having a child must be a rebirth for a woman. I believe it is, because the pain in the whole process is like going to hell, but when you hear a child crying, all the pain is worth it.

I tried to give up a few times, the pain, the exhaustion, but no, I knew, the baby was trying, too, to get into the world faster, to see his mother.

I used all my strength, and my clothes were soaked through with sweat. Finally, I heard it, and in that moment, as I lay there with my eyes wide open, I wanted to take a look. I felt a strong sense of exhaustion, and I felt like I was going to fall asleep at any moment.

I would have seen it, dark hair with blood on it. The midwife wiped it briefly, then wrapped it in the sheet she had prepared.

"Congratulations, it's a boy. Six pounds six taels."

I looked at the pair of small black eyes and continuously turned around. My small mouth slowly moved, and I felt a happiness I had never felt before. I wanted to touch his fingers and let him feel my mother.

Postpartum lethargy was very important to recover my strength. When I woke up, I was back in my room with a bottle hanging from my arm. At that moment, I heard the crying of the child once again. It was very loud.

What happened to him? Hungry? Did he pee? I tried to open my eyes, but it was painful and my entire body was in pain. I didn't know why, especially my stomach and the part below me. The intense pain felt as though it was forcefully torn apart by an external force.

I tilted my head and saw that Lu Tao was holding the child in an awkward manner. His arms were raised very high, almost as if he was holding the child in front of him with both hands.

"Lu Tao, the child isn't feeling well like that."

When Lu Tao heard my voice, a smile appeared on his face. "Junting, quickly come and see mom. This is mom."

"Junting?"

It was just that Lu Tao had never discussed it with me before. Actually, I had already thought of a few different names for the child, representing a different meaning. Because Lu Tao was never at home, so I never discussed this matter with him.

"The name I gave my son wasn't bad, right?"

I just nodded and looked at the little guy. He was next to me, and I could feel his breath, and for a moment I believe he could feel it, too, and I heard people say that the baby could feel his mother's heartbeat, so the moment he got close to me, the crying stopped.

Yes, he missed his mother.
