The inspection didn't take long. About five minutes later, Yun Huaying's voice came from the room: "Brother Xiami, come in."
Li Xiami immediately rushed in and asked anxiously, "Doctor Yun, what's the situation?"
"The baby is growing well. He should be around 7 kilograms. He's a healthy baby."
Qu Dan held her big belly and was very happy: "As long as it's healthy, I don't have too many expectations, I just hope that the baby will be healthy."
Qu's mother also breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to support her. She also asked, "Doctor Yun, where are we going now? Are we going straight to give birth?"
"It's still early. Even though we've used the labor-inducing drugs, she hasn't had any contractions yet. We'll probably have to wait two or three hours. Go back to the ward and rest. Come back to me when you feel a response. I'll then arrange for her to go to the delivery room."
"Okay, okay."
It was already past ten o'clock when Qu Dan had her seizure. Everything was ready in the delivery room, and she was taken inside. Yun Huaying said to Han Zheng, "It'll probably take an hour or two. Why don't you go for a walk?"
"No, I'll wait for you here."
Han Zheng came here for only one thing, which was to accompany her. He had nothing to deal with outside and no acquaintances to meet.
"Okay, then you and Brother Xiami wait outside."
Yun Huaying went in with the medicine box and said to Qu's mother and Li Xiami, "Don't worry, the birth will go smoothly."
"Okay, Dr. Yun, I'll leave it to you." Qu's mother hurriedly thanked him.
With her around, Li Xiami felt more at ease and took the initiative to talk to Han Zheng: "Han Zheng, you and Dr. Yun are already married. When are you considering having children?"
"We haven't had the wedding yet. She still has three months of work to do here, and I'm a bit busy with work. The wedding is tentatively scheduled for October, and the earliest we'll have the baby is next year."
"You are all busy people."
Li Xiami smiled and added, "You are both healthy, have good family conditions, and both of you are capable of working. You can have more children. You can afford to raise them anyway."
Han Zheng laughed and asked him, "Are you still giving birth?"
"No more children."
Li Xiami shook his head decisively, "No matter whether it's a boy or a girl this time, I won't have any more."
"Qu Dan has some health issues. Giving birth to a child is risky. If it weren't for Dr. Yun's repeated help, the child wouldn't have been born smoothly, and she herself would have gotten into trouble."
"I'll be honest with you. I've been so worried for the past nine months since Qu Dan became pregnant. Every time she said she had stomach discomfort, I panicked and couldn't sleep all night. I don't want to go through this torture again."
Han Zheng understood his feelings and patted him on the shoulder. "One child is also good. You and your wife will have less pressure. Raise him well. Let him study more and learn more skills in the future. Then you can enjoy the happiness with him when you are old."
Li Xiami smiled as he listened. "My husband and I don't have many aspirations. We don't hope for wealth and glory, nor do we expect him to become successful or bring honor to the family. As long as our child is healthy and happy, that's all that matters."
"Huaying just said that the child is healthy and will be happy as long as you guys love him."
The two men were talking outside, Yun Huaying was teaching Qu Dan how to cooperate in the delivery room, and the other two obstetricians and gynecologists were in charge of the delivery.
The sound insulation of houses these days is very average. Qu Dan's heart-wrenching screams soon rang out in the delivery room, making people outside feel their scalps tingling. Li Xiami couldn't keep quiet and spoke anymore. He stood up and paced back and forth at the door of the delivery room.
Not to mention his nervousness, even Han Zheng's scalp tingled when he heard the screams. He rarely took the initiative to ask the elders: "Auntie, um, how painful is it for a woman to give birth?"
The young man asked so bluntly that Qu's mother was a little embarrassed to answer. She gestured with her hands over her body and said, "It hurts a lot. It's like all the bones in this one piece are broken. It hurts, especially with my first child. It felt like I lost half my life after giving birth. It's been much better with subsequent children, but it still hurts."
Breaking one bone is painful enough, and Han Zheng could imagine the pain when many bones are broken at the same time. He was really not calm now.
"Young man, don't be scared. Everyone's body is different, and the pain of childbirth is also different."
"Some babies take a day or two to be born, while others only take half an hour. Doctor Yun is a little thin, so take good care of her and let her eat well. She's a doctor and can prescribe medicine, so she won't have to suffer so much when giving birth in the future."
Han Zheng took the elders' words to heart and asked her, "Will it be easier to give birth if I gain some weight?"
"Of course, fatter women are more likely to give birth. You see, in the countryside, people want fatter wives with bigger butts. Skinny women with small butts are not likely to give birth."
Han Zheng: “…”
He shouldn't have asked this question.
With the help of drugs and the guidance of three doctors, Qu Dan gave birth smoothly, completing the delivery in less than an hour.
“Wow…Wow…”
As the baby's cry came out, Qu's mother and Li Xiami jumped up and down excitedly, "It's born, it's born, it's born."
They were shouting excitedly outside, and Qu Dan breathed a sigh of relief in the delivery room. Another doctor was cleaning the package nearby. Yun Huaying stepped forward to take a look, then turned back and smiled, saying, "It's a big, fat boy with a chubby face. He must weigh over seven pounds."
When she heard it was a son, Qu Dan burst into tears. Although she did not favor boys over girls, she still hoped to have a son, and today her wish came true.
"Okay, don't cry." Yun Huaying wiped her tears.
After the doctor wrapped the baby, Yun Huaying went over to take the baby and brought it to her, "Sister-in-law, take a look at the baby."
Qu Dan struggled to turn her head to look. Seeing the red little face, the tears that had just stopped flowed again: "He looks like his father, like Sandong."
"Yeah, it's like Brother Xiami."
The doctor took care of the rest. Yun Huaying picked up the child and said to her, "I saw Brother Xiami yelling excitedly outside. I'll take him out to show him."
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Yun."
As soon as the door of the delivery room opened, Li Xiami rushed over quickly. When he learned that she had given birth to a son, a big fat boy, he smiled so hard that his teeth were showing and he kept laughing.
Han Zheng also came over to take a look, and asked with concern: "Huaying, are you tired?"
"I'm not tired. The other two doctors were in charge of the delivery. I was just watching from the side."
Qu Dan was quickly sent out of the delivery room. She was in good spirits and could talk to her mother and husband when she came out. She also hugged her son and kissed him.
Yun Huaying asked Han Zheng to wait for her in the office. She came to the ward and explained some postpartum precautions to Qu's mother. She also reminded them, "Brother Xiami, you must take good care of my sister-in-law and the child. Don't leave the child alone, and don't let strangers hold the child. There will be other mothers admitted to the ward this afternoon, and strangers will be walking around. You must keep a close eye on the child. The doctors and nurses won't be able to spare the energy to keep an eye on him all the time."
"Okay, okay, we get it."
Li Xiami understood what she meant. This child was his lifeblood. It was so hard to give birth to him, so there must be no accidents.
