Chapter 976: Antenatal Preparation

In the delivery room, Lin Qiao lay on the obstetric table when she suddenly grabbed Lin Hao, who was by her side. She popped her eyes and stared at him while saying, “Are you sure? Is the baby really coming out? Why don’t I feel like it? Isn’t this too soon? Didn’t you say that I’d stay pregnant for a while?”

Lin Hao was nervous too at that moment. He was not an obstetrician and he had never delivered a child before, not to mention the fact that the pregnant lady in front of him was his sister, and a zombie!

Anyhow, he didn’t dare to let anyone else deliver her baby, so he could only do his best to use what he had learned from books and the cases he read before.

“I don’t know, but the baby is already moving downward. What else have you been feeling except for the stomaching?” Lin Hao put both hands on her belly and said while feeling the baby’s position.

The pain attacked Lin Qiao wave by wave and made her very uncomfortable. She shook her head and said, “No.”

Lin Hao stood by her side. Using his palms, he felt that her belly was sometimes soft and at times hard. Clearly, she was having a contraction.

“It’s not gonna happen immediately. I think you need to wait a little longer,” he said to Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao took a deep breath. Waves of aching were coming from her stomach, growing stronger by many times over. She even felt a dull pain from her heart.

She lay on the bed and closed her eyes. She wasn’t afraid of the pain; she was excited. Was Viney finally coming out?

As same as everyone else, she was curious about what the baby would look like. Based on the fact that her heart wasn’t beating, she might be a little zombie. But still, there might be a surprise.

So, at that moment, Lin Qiao was expectant and excited.

To distract her, Lin Hao said, “Do you think Mr. Wu will be even more nervous than you are?”

Lin Qiao had to bring Wu Chengyue together with her because she needed to come all the way to Base Number One, to the medical department, from Base Number Two. Therefore, Wu Chengyue was now at the door of the delivery room, with Ling Ling in his arms.

“How am I supposed to know!” Lin Qiao grumpily gave Lin Hao a glare. If it weren’t for his ridiculous suggestion, how could she possibly end up in the bed together with Wu Chengyue a week ago?

She let him take advantage of herself.

At that moment, quite some people were waiting at the door of the delivery room. Except for Wu Chengyue and his daughter, Xiao Licheng, Duan Juan, Shen Yujen, Xie Dong, Qiu Lili, Liu Jun, Lu Tianyi, Lin Feng, and the others were there too. They had all been waiting quietly.

From time to time, they cast a few glances at the door of the delivery room.

Qiu Lili held her long pigtails and pressed her ears against the door to listen to the sounds from the room. A short while later, she said with confusion, “Didn’t people say that women always scream like hell when they give birth to babies? Why am I not hearing anything?”

Among all on the scene, Liu Jun was the only one who had given birth to a baby. She smiled and said, “I think Chief is still having a contraction. She’s not giving birth yet. By the time the baby’s head enters the birth canal and starts to come out, she will scream.”

“How painful was it?” Qiu Lili looked at her and asked.

Liu Jun thought for a moment, then responded, “It would be so painful that you’d even want to rip your belly apart and dig the baby straight out. You would have to focus your mind on the lower part of your body. At last, you might start to fall into unconsciousness. You would want to give up, but you cannot, because if you did, the pain wouldn’t fade immediately, and the baby would die of suffocation. So, you would have to try your best to give birth to the baby, even if you might be suffering a mental breaking down.”

While speaking, Liu Jun noticed that all the ladies on the scene were wearing a terrified look. So, she thought briefly and continued with, “Not every woman suffers like that during birth-giving. Some of them can do it very easily, and some not. It also depends on how much time it takes for the birth canal to open up.”

The guys who were there all had a painful look on their faces as they looked at Liu Jun with complicated expressions.

“Well,” Liu Jun wrapped up with, “the pain of giving birth might be as bad as suffering a heavy punch in the stomach.”

Qiu Lili even had her face paling as she said with fright, “Thankfully, I have turned into a zombie already… Eh, no, Chief is a zombie too. I… I will never, ever give birth to a baby for any man! I don’t think it’s worth suffering such kind of pain for a man!”

After saying that, she thought of what Liu Jun had been through. She changed her expressions slightly, as she realized that she might have said something wrong. “Eh… I’m-I’m sorry, Junjun,” she hurriedly apologized.

Liu Jun gave her a smile and replied carelessly, “It’s okay. It was painful indeed, but it wasn’t all bad. At least I have Tongtong now. When I had him, I felt that all the pain was worth it, because I had a healthy, wonderful baby.”

Standing beside her, Xie Dong couldn’t help but hold her hand silently. Liu Jun gave him a glance, but didn’t pull her hand out of his. The atmosphere changed instantly. The others were jealous of them, even though they didn’t even know what exactly was going on between them.

On hearing what Liu Jun said, Wu Chengyue also felt utterly uncomfortable. He fixed his eyes straight on the door of the delivery room, and his mind was even in a daze.

In the room, Lin Qiao had suffered the contraction for two hours. After that, the interval between labor pain started shortening, growing stronger, and spreading to her waist and back.

She frowned slightly, yet her expression didn’t change much.

Lin Hao had been paying close attention to her expression. As she furrowed her eyebrows slightly, he immediately asked her, “How do you feel? Is the interval between contractions growing short?”

Lin Qiao took a deep breath and then nodded.

Lin Hao checked her cervix dilation degree. With surprise, he found that she was already about five centimeters dilated. That seemed to be a little too fast, yet it was a good sign, meaning that it wouldn’t take too long for her to dilate fully.

“What stage am I at now? When will the baby come out?” Lin Qiao couldn’t help but ask.

She no longer felt embarrassed about her current posture and for letting her little brother see the private area of her body. Lin Hao gave her a glance, then said, “Soon, based on your current condition. But, I think it’ll be at least four or five hours from the critical moment.”

Hearing that, Lin Qiao immediately wore a bitter face.

“Compare to other cases, this is already happening very quickly.” Seeing the look on her face, Lin Hao tried to comfort her, “You are already five centimeters dilated. It won’t take you too long to get ready. Be prepared. The pain is going to worsen.”

Lin Qiao didn’t say anything.

Right at that moment, she felt a strong bearing-down from her lower abdomen, then a muffled noise was heard, sounding like something breaking. In the meanwhile, she felt a large stream of liquid gush out of her body, and that something was squirming inside her womb. Something was pressing against her pelvis, something hard.

Then, a voice was heard in her mind—‘Mama, Mama, don’t forget to push! You need to push really, really hard!’

Lin Qiao’s heart leaped, and then she sighed with relief.

Lin Hao was not as relieved as Lin Qiao was as he landed his eyes on Lin Qiao’s belly in shock.
