Chapter 169 The baby was born.
Time flew by and it was July 5th, 1971.
Gu Yihan has already started her maternity leave.
She was nine months pregnant at the moment, holding a large palm-leaf fan, and fanning herself vigorously as she walked.
Grandma Gu said worriedly, "Rest a while, she should give birth in a day or two."
Gu Yihan walked to Grandma Gu's side, took her arm, and said in a coquettish tone, "Grandma, let me go back to my bedroom and fan myself with the fan for a while."
Since summer started, my body temperature has risen during pregnancy, and I only feel comfortable when I'm under a fan.
Grandma Gu refused, saying, "No, the doctor calculated your due date to be today. What if you catch a cold from the fan?"
No matter how much Gu Yihan pleaded and said nice things, she couldn't get Grandma Gu to give in, and the heat in her heart became increasingly unbearable.
Grandma Gu knew that her granddaughter was sensitive to heat and was about to give birth, so she was worried about even the slightest risk.
"Just bear with it a little longer. When Xiao Lu comes back, we'll go to the hospital to stay."
Gu Yihan gave a listless "hmm".
A short while
"Wife, wife."
Lu Huailin pushed open the door, strode over to Gu Yihan, and helped her up: "Come on, let's go to the hospital."
He turned to Grandma Gu and said, "Grandma, let me help my wife into the car first."
"Okay, Grandma will catch up soon."
After saying that, Grandma Gu quickly returned to the living room and brought out the maternity bag she had prepared in advance.
Lu Huailin opened the jeep door and carefully settled his wife into the car.
Xiao Wu greeted her with a smile, "Hello, sister-in-law."
When Gu Yihan saw Xiao Wu, she thought of Mao Mao, who hadn't returned for several months: "Xiao Wu, how is Mao Mao?"
"Mao Mao is really amazing now. He has already earned a lot of military merits and is an outstanding military dog."
Xiao Wu said proudly, "This is all thanks to him."
Gu Yihan also misses Mao Mao, after all, it has been with her for so long. "After I have a baby, I can let Mao Mao come home to stay often."
When Grandma Gu opened the passenger door, she heard her granddaughter telling Mao Mao to come home to stay. She asked curiously, "Who is Mao Mao?"
Xiao Wu scratched his head and smiled at Grandma Gu, replying, "Mao Mao is my sister-in-law's military dog."
After putting away the maternity bag, Lu Huailin sat down next to Gu Yihan and held her hand tightly.
The car hadn't even reached the military hospital when Gu Yihan noticed her pants were wet and assumed she had lost control of her bladder.
She was quite embarrassed and whispered in Lu Huailin's ear, "Honey, I think I wet my pants."
Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin quickly asked, "Does your stomach hurt?"
Gu Yihan shook her head and whispered, "I don't feel anything at all."
Lu Huailin carefully observed his wife's expression and saw that she didn't seem to feel anything at all.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt: "Xiao Wu, drive faster, my wife is about to give birth!"
After Xiao Wu nodded, he increased his speed.
Grandma Gu asked anxiously, "Xiaohan, does your stomach hurt?"
Gu Yihan didn't feel any pain at all; she only felt water flowing out gradually.
She guessed that her water had broken and said to the anxious Lu Huailin, "Honey, after I give birth, you must take good care of the baby."
Lu Huailin nodded, touched his wife's belly, and replied, "Honey, don't worry, I will definitely protect the baby."
When Gu Yihan arrived at the hospital, she began to experience a dragging pain in her lower abdomen, and she was immediately taken to the delivery room.
Lu Huailin wanted to go in with his wife, but the nurse stopped him sharply: "What are you doing going in there, a grown man like you?"
Lu Huailin quickly explained, "The person who was just pushed in was my wife."
The nurse said irritably, "There are several pregnant women inside, not all of them can be your wife."
When Lu Huailin saw Grandma Gu coming over, he took the maternity bag directly from her hand: "Grandma, there are several women in labor inside, so we can't let them in."
Grandma Gu, panting, said, "Let's wait."
He suddenly remembered that his wife had said there were baby swapping services at the hospital, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
He's not inside. What if someone takes away the child his wife risked her life to give birth to?
"Grandma, I'm worried that someone might switch babies."
Grandma Gu was startled by Lu Huailin's words and quickly asked, "Really?"
Then he remembered that his granddaughter had been replaced by Liu Zhaodi when she was a child.
She couldn't sit still any longer and instructed Lu Huailin, "Grandma has to go in and keep an eye on things. What if Xiaohan gives birth to a son and some malicious person switches him?"
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the delivery room.
Lu Huailin was relieved. He believed that Grandma Gu would not let anyone else take his daughter-in-law's child away.
Gu Yihan secretly drank a lot of water from the space, thinking it would relieve her stomach pain, but it was of no use at all.
My stomach still hurts intermittently.
When Grandma Gu entered the delivery room, the nurse tried to stop her, but the doctor who was delivering the baby interrupted her: "Having a family member accompany the mother is beneficial for childbirth."
The young nurse couldn't stop her; she turned and shook her head slightly at Nurse Shi, who was next to another woman in labor.
Grandma Gu quickly walked to her granddaughter's side, took her hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Grandma is here."
"When your mother gave birth to your father, she didn't even feel like she was being born directly into the ground."
Gu Yihan forced a smile at Grandma Gu.
One hour later
Gu Yihan's contractions were becoming more frequent, and she felt that her baby was about to be born. It must be that the water in the space was working.
Although the contractions were frequent, the pain had lessened slightly.
Despite the abdominal pain, she tightly gripped Grandma Gu's hand: "Grandma, don't give the baby to anyone."
There are several women giving birth here. What if they give birth at the same time and the babies are switched at birth?
Grandma Gu nodded repeatedly, promising not to let anyone touch the baby.
The doctor who delivered the baby tested the dilation with his hand and said, "You're fully dilated to ten centimeters, you can give birth now."
Gu Yihan held her breath and strained, "Ah..."
The midwife slapped Gu Yihan's leg: "Who told you to hold your breath? Push!"
Gu Yihan was stunned by the slap and subconsciously retorted, "I used force."
Grandma Gu was shocked to see that the doctor who delivered her baby was so rude and even hit her.
She was heartbroken: "How could you do that?"
The doctor who delivered the baby ignored Grandma Gu: "Push just like you would when you had a bowel movement."
Not long after, a pregnant woman who had entered the delivery room before Gu Yihan gave birth. Her first question was, "Boy or girl?"
Nurse Shi didn't reply, but glanced in Gu Yihan's direction with a furrowed brow.
She asked again, "Boy or girl?"
Nurse Shi replied dismissively, "It's a boy."
The new mother smiled happily when she heard it was a boy.
Gu Yihan pushed as instructed by the midwife, and soon she felt something slide out.
"Wow……"
The sound of a child crying rang out.
Grandma Gu was overjoyed, her eyes fixed on the child in the doctor's arms.
After she was wrapped up, I quickly hugged her and was overjoyed to see her fair and tender little face.
"Grandma, is it a boy or a girl?" Gu Yihan's weak voice rang out.
Grandma Gu paused in her arms holding the baby, glanced at the doctor who had just delivered her granddaughter, and then went to help another woman in labor.
She smiled awkwardly and replied, "Grandma, I was so excited I forgot to ask."
At this moment, the nurse walked up to Grandma Gu and said with a smile, "Family, please give me the child. I'll go weigh the child."
As the nurse reached out her hand, Grandma Gu immediately took several steps back while holding the child and refused, saying, "No need, we'll weigh him ourselves at home."
The nurse frowned: "If you're worried, you can come along."
Grandma Gu became even more wary. She had already said there was no need to weigh him, so why was this person still so eager to do it?
She said impatiently, "Can't you understand human language? I said no."
Gu Yihan hadn't even had a chance to look at her child yet, and now her heart was pounding, as if something was about to happen.
She glanced at the young nurse and then at Nurse Shi, who was holding the child.
She immediately refused: "Milk, let's not weigh her, let's go home."
