The day before her due date, Yun Huaying clearly felt changes in her body. She went to the toilet many times in the morning and started to have spotting. These were all symptoms of impending delivery.
Han Zheng stayed by her side, his heart in his throat, "Huaying, let's go to the hospital and stay there."
"It will take some time. The amniotic fluid hasn't broken yet. Even if we go to the hospital now, we'll have to wait. There are a lot of people coming and going in the hospital, and there are a lot of bacteria. It's not as clean as home." Yun Huaying was much calmer than him.
Grandma Han has rarely gone out these two days. Except for rushing to buy groceries early in the morning, she stays at home all the time, for fear that she will have a sudden attack.
Mr. Han and his colleagues went to work as usual, but they left a car at home for their convenience and also arranged for a guard to help at home.
Han Zheng forced himself to calm down and helped her lie down on the sofa. It was already the hottest summer and the weather was dry. He peeled a banana for her to eat and fanned her with a fan to cool her down.
Grandma Han was busy in the kitchen. Today she made sauerkraut dumplings that her granddaughter-in-law liked, cooked sauerkraut fish fillets, made spicy stir-fried pork that went well with rice, and fried two plates of light and refreshing vegetables. She called them to eat at noon time.
"Huaying, go back to your room and take a nap after dinner. Relax and don't be too nervous. Call us immediately if you have any reaction." Grandma Han said as she picked up some food for her.
"good."
Yun Huaying could clearly feel the baby dropping into her pelvis. She felt much more relaxed now, her breathing becoming smoother. She smiled and told them, "If it's not today, it will be tomorrow. I can feel it myself."
"Okay, okay, I'll call your aunt after dinner and ask her to make arrangements."
Grandma Han was very happy that she would soon have a great-grandson. She looked at her belly and said with a smile: "This naughty little guy is finally coming out."
The baby in Yun Huaying's belly is indeed naughty and lively. It has been moving non-stop since the beginning of fetal movement, especially in the late pregnancy. The activities are quite frequent. Especially when she is caressing and reading prenatal education books, it is having a lot of fun inside.
Her stomach felt relieved, and Yun Huaying's appetite improved. She ate a lot of dumplings at noon, ordered half a bowl of rice, and ate a lot of various dishes. She was the last one to put down her chopsticks.
Han Zheng was happy to see that she had a good appetite. After the dishes were cleared away, he washed her a plate of grapes as an after-meal fruit.
After eating and drinking, I lay on the bed and felt sleepy. "Han Zheng, I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to sleep first."
"Go to sleep, I'll fan you."
"No need to fan me, I'm not hot. You can lie down and take a nap too." Yun Huaying said and closed her eyes.
After ten months of pregnancy, her belly was as big as a basket, but her limbs were still very slender. Her face had gained some flesh and was rounder than before, but she did not look fat. On the contrary, she looked more charming.
After her breathing became even, Han Zheng gently massaged her calves. He had noticed that during the time since he came back, she always had cramps at night and would always wake up in pain from her dreams. She said that she had taken all the necessary supplements and that this was a relatively normal reaction, but he was still a little worried.
Yun Huaying usually sleeps well and falls asleep quickly. Today is no exception. She has already fallen asleep and in her dream she saw a baby who kept smiling at her.
"Hmm..."
A surge of heat gushed out, and Yun Huaying suddenly woke up. She was sleeping on her side, so she immediately pushed the man next to her and said, "Han Zheng, wake up."
Han Zheng had just fallen asleep when she pushed him and his clear eyes immediately opened: "Wife, wake up."
"Get up quickly, my water broke. Pack your things and take me to the hospital."
"Oh, oh, okay."
Han Zheng immediately stood up, opened the door with a nervous and anxious look on his face, and shouted outside: "Grandma, Huaying is about to give birth. Brother Liu, get ready to go."
Everything was ready at home. Grandma Han first called her daughter, and then came over quickly to help get the things needed for the delivery. Han Zheng first helped Yun Huaying pack up, then picked her up and put her in the car. The group went to the Military General Hospital as quickly as possible.
After arriving at the hospital, Han Bingyu immediately examined her. "The amniotic fluid has broken, but the contractions haven't started yet. It's not time for delivery yet. We have to wait."
Yun Huaying knew what was going on. After Han Zheng came in, she said, "Help me up and walk outside."
"Go out for a walk? Aren't you going to give birth now?" Han Zheng didn't understand.
"No contractions yet."
Han Bingyu told him, "Zhengzi, listen to Huaying's instructions. Help her walk around outside. When the contractions become very frequent, with one or two painful episodes every ten minutes, take her to the delivery room."
They waited until evening, and even the Han family and Yun Shaofan came over, but the baby still hadn't been born.
Han Zheng was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan. Even his strong mental state could not suppress his worry and anxiety. He went to his aunt's office many times to urge her, but Han Bingyu only gave him three words: wait patiently!
"She came here at noon, but the baby hasn't been born yet. Is there something wrong?" Yun Shaofan was worried.
"Bingyu said it was normal. She said Huaying hasn't reached the peak of her contractions yet, so we'll probably have to wait a few more hours."
Although Yun Huaying could bear the pain now, the long-term pain was torturous enough. She was sweating from the pain and had to change her clothes.
The women had experience with childbirth, so Li Shutong said quickly, "Okay, there's no point in waiting here. Go eat. Let's go buy some food for Huaying. Let's eat more now so she can have more strength to give birth later."
They didn't go far and ate in the hospital cafeteria. Yan Lu came to bring Han Bingyu food. He also stewed kelp and pork ribs soup tonight and quickly brought this nutritious soup to Yun Huaying.
"Uncle, thank you."
Yun Huaying walked around the ward despite the pain and politely thanked the elders.
"You're welcome. Huaying, whatever you want to eat, your uncle will go buy it for you now." Yan Lu couldn't help with anything else, so he could only run errands for them.
"Uncle, there's no need to buy it. Grandpa and grandma are here. They just went to help buy food." Han Zheng said to him.
"Okay, then you should feed Huaying something first. Eat more to replenish your energy."
After Yan Lu finished speaking, he went out, said goodbye to Han Bingyu, and went directly to the cafeteria to find his parents-in-law.
Yun Huaying lay down on the bed after eating. Han Zheng asked the elders to go back because they all had to go to work tomorrow and there was no need for them to stay here. Finally, Li Shutong stayed to help and everyone else went back first.
"Zhengzi, your aunt will stay by your side for the first half of the night. You go to the lounge next door and sleep. I'll take over with you in the second half of the night."
Han Zheng thought about it and agreed: "Okay."
Before going to rest, he filled the thermos with boiling water, wiped Yun Huaying, changed into a set of light pajamas, and asked his aunt to make her a glass of milk later. He went to rest only after doing these things.
