BXBX NOVEL Chapter 345 - 345 Giving Birth
Zhao Zhan’s expression changed drastically, but he was afraid that his flustered behavior would affect her mood. “What’s wrong?”
“I think it hurt a little just now,” Yue Jiaojiao frowned. She stopped for a few minutes and felt it again. “It’s fine now. Maybe it’s a stomach cramp or the baby kicked me.”
“The midwife said that it would hurt before the delivery.”
!!
Zhao Zhan firmly engraved the words of the midwife into his mind, not daring to miss a single word.
“If it still hurts later, it means you’re about to give birth.”
Her stomach felt uncomfortable again.
Zhao Zhan knew something was wrong when he saw her expression. “Does it hurt again?”
The pain wasn’t as frequent this time.
However, the pain in her body was amplified to the point that it was intense. Yue Jiaojiao was a little nervous as she held Zhao Zhan’s hands.
“Zhao Zhan, I might really be giving birth.”
Zhao Zhan lowered his head.
His lover’s feet were a little wet.
“Y-your water b-broke.” Zhao Zhan was so flustered that his expression was tense.His face was so stiff that there was no change in expression. He directly carried Yue Jiaojiao in his arms and carried her to the room specially prepared for delivery.
“Madam Qin!”
Zhao Zhan opened his mouth and shouted, the veins on his neck bulging. “Madam Qin! Call the midwife! Jiaojiao is about to give birth! Doctor Sun! Doctor Sun!”
Yue Jiaojiao’s body was already covered in sweat from the contractions. During the short period of time she had to recover, she was being tormented by the lingering pain.
“Don’t be afraid,” Zhao Zhan held Yue Jiaojiao’s hand tightly. “What do you want to eat now? I’ll make it for you. The midwife said that you’ll need to eat something to have strength.”
Yue Jiaojiao was in so much pain that she couldn’t speak and kept shaking her head.
She bit her lips in pain.
Zhao Zhan immediately placed his wrist by her mouth. “If it hurts badly, you can bite me instead.” Seeing that she had not arrived yet, Zhao Zhan kept looking outside the door and shouting, “Madam Qin! Call the midwife! Get hot water!”
“I’m coming, I’m coming.” Madam Qin ran over. Is she contracting?! The midwife will be here soon.”
“Her stomach hurts and her water broke.”
Yue Jiaojiao was in so much pain. Madam Qin’s face turned pale. “I’ll go prepare some hot water and some food for my lady to replenish her strength when she’s no longer in pain.”
Zhao Zhan couldn’t be bothered to be polite with Madam Qin.
His lover was in so much pain that he really couldn’t bear to leave her side.
The midwife brought the things into the delivery room and placed them on the table beside her. “It’s going to be very unsanitary soon. Zhao Zhan, you should leave.”
“Don’t worry about me.” Zhao Zhan kept wiping Yue Jiaojiao’s sweat with a handkerchief. He didn’t even raise his head when he heard this. “I’ll stay here and not go anywhere.”
“Zhao Zhan…”
“You just need to make sure that Jiaojiao is safe and sound. As for cleanliness, it is all nonsense and there is no need to say anymore.”
She saw that he was insistent on not leaving. The midwife no longer said anything to avoid being annoying.
She lifted the blanket that was covering Yue Jiaojiao’s body and took a look at her. “This is your first pregnancy, right? From the looks of it, it will take at least four hours before she can give birth.”
Four hours?
Didn’t that mean that his lover would be in pain for a long time?
Zhao Zhan leaned close to Yue Jiaojiao’s ear and said gently, “Jiaojiao, I’m going to look for Doctor Sun. I’ll be back soon.”
Yue Jiaojiao’s delivery date was brought forward by a few days.
Zhao Zhan quickly ran to Doctor Sun’s courtyard. “Doctor Sun, Jiaojiao is about to give birth. Do you have any way to alleviate her pain?”
As he spoke, he went to take Doctor Sun’s medicine box and brought him in the direction of the delivery room.
“There is a way, but we can’t let her use it.” Doctor Sun had never walked so fast in his life, and the soles of his feet were almost on fire. “If we give her medicine, I’m not sure if she will have any strength when she gives birth. When the child stays in the womb and can’t come out, both the adult and the child will be in danger.”
Zhao Zhan’s heart was burning with anxiety. “Doctor Sun, is there any other way? Four hours is too long!”
Doctor Sun pondered for a moment. “I can use acupuncture to stimulate her acupuncture points to make her give birth faster. In this way, she can suffer less pain.”
Zhao Zhan was a little worried. “Is there any danger in this method?”
“A woman’s delivery is to pass through the gates of Hell.” Doctor sun’s expression was heavy. “If she can’t last four hours of pain, it’ll be more dangerous when she loses her strength later on.”
Doctor Sun stopped at the door of the delivery room and listened to the movements inside with a dark expression. “I’ll stay here and guard her.”
Zhao Zhan had never heard of the use of silver needles to induce labor, but Doctor Sun’s medical skills had always been brilliant.
He told Yue Jiaojiao about the method and discussed it with her for a moment.
“If you want, I can get Doctor Sun to come over and perform acupuncture on you.”
Yue Jiaojiao was in so much pain that she was about to lose her ability to think.
After understanding what Zhao Zhan was saying, she immediately nodded. “Let him in. Let’s just treat it as a birth hormone injection.”
The midwife stood at the side, looking at the silver needles on Yue Jiaojiao’s waist with a face of fear.
“I’ve never heard of this method of induced labor through acupuncture.”
Doctor Sun’s technique was very steady. After all the silver needles were inserted, he waited for five minutes before taking it out again.
“How is she now?”
After Doctor Sun finished speaking, he went to the door to avoid the situation in the room.
...
The midwife lifted the blanket again and reached in to feel her. She said in a surprised tone, “She’s really about to give birth! We just need to wait a little longer.”
Madam Qin took a bowl of brown sugar eggs. “My lady, hurry and eat something first. Otherwise, you’ll have no strength when you give birth.”
In addition to the eggs, there was a bowl of chicken soup on the tray. There were two shredded chicken legs in the soup.
“Madam Qin, let me do it.”
Zhao Zhan coaxed her in a low voice, feeding her more than half of the chicken meat and chicken soup.
The midwife reached her hand in and checked a few more times.
“She’s ready to give birth!”
She had been a midwife for so many years, but this was the first time she was seeing a husband not being able to bear the pain of watching his wife suffer.
“Madam, listen to me. I’ll teach you how to use force to give birth!”
The midwife shouted at the top of her voice.
Yue Jiaojiao held onto Zhao Zhan’s hand tightly.
...
She had never been in so much pain in her life, and she had never used so much force before.
The pain was like a landslide or tsunami, wave after wave, hitting her until she had no ability to resist.
Yue Jiaojiao’s voice had become hoarse by the end.
Zhao Zhan’s eyes were red as he focused all his attention on her face.
“Don’t be afraid.”
“This is the first and last time. I won’t give birth again.”
He leaned over to Yue Jiaojiao’s ear and comforted her, “We only need one child. We don’t need a second one. I’m here, you can do this.”
