When Lin Yanwan was six months pregnant, her belly looked quite big. She did everything with her big belly sticking out. Her favorite thing to do every day was to lie in bed, enjoying the comfortable sea breeze and the beautiful scenery.
Her husband was right beside her, doting on her every whim, habitually touching her bulging belly, and occasionally she could even see subtle fetal movements, which meant the baby was very active.
Although the pregnancy was very difficult, it was all worth it. The two of them had sacrificed so much for this child, both in this life and the next.
The couple often go out for walks and breathe in the fresh air, which can enhance the pregnant woman's immunity and is beneficial to the fetus.
As for whether the baby was a boy or a girl, neither of them cared much. They just wanted the baby to be born safely, since it was all Jiang Xia's child anyway, so they left it to fate.
It's a pity they weren't twins, which is a little disappointing.
As the sun set, Jiang Xia and Lin Yanwan finished their dinner and strolled along the beautiful Erhai beach. There, they saw many newlyweds taking wedding photos under the guidance of photographers, their faces bathed in the warm glow of the sunset, radiating happiness.
The two exchanged a knowing smile.
"Baby, why don't you stand there and we'll take some pictures too?" Jiang Xia took out his DSLR camera and looked at the shimmering sunset on the sea. This angle was indeed beautiful.
"Are we really going to take pictures?" Lin Yanwan asked, a little embarrassed, looking at the people around her.
"How is it? What's the situation now?" Xia Shanshan asked hurriedly when she saw Jiang Xia in the delivery room.
The two mothers, who felt sorry for their children, nodded. When you gave birth, the environment in China was bad, and you all had natural births. You know how much pain you went through. Now that there are no painkillers, it's a blessing for mothers who haven't been pregnant.
Upon receiving the news, both sets of parents immediately dropped everything else and rushed to Xiaoli by plane.
Whether it is knowledge or awareness, one of them acts as the village head while the other acts as the grandfather.
Was it a vaginal delivery or a C-section?
It was September 2014, and Lin Yanwan was already full-term pregnant, with her due date fast approaching.
The nurse's voice came through: "Congratulations, it's a girl."
The seven parents arrived at the hospital in a great hurry, and it wasn't even morning yet.
Xing Qingyu sometimes feels fortunate that her husband in that life was Jiang Xia, which is why she thinks she might experience depression during her pregnancy.
"Maybe they knew Dad was coming." Xing Qingyu tucked his hair, which was disheveled by the sea breeze, and smiled broadly.
Ji Wanqiu nodded, took a deep breath, and tried her best to get into a passionate state: "How was the situation when Yan Wan left?"
Four months pregnant, Lin Yanwan's belly was getting smaller and smaller. Her round belly was so big that you could even see the blood vessels on her skin.
"It looks bad." Lin Yanwan glanced at the photo. Xing Qing was indeed a professional director; the composition and angles were perfect.
I also experience persistent pubic bone pain, walk as fast as a sloth, and have to rest with my hands on my hips after every two steps. I feel nauseous when I eat, and my stomach cramps frequently. I can only sleep with a low pillow at night, which makes me feel short of breath. My stomach also needs to be supported. I feel breathless when I lie flat, so I can only lie on my side.
Lying outside is my beloved wife, and the baby about to be born is my own. If I were to say I'm worried, it would be a lie.
“Don’t worry, everything will be alright. We don’t have the worst doctors or the worst equipment. The baby is weak, how could he be alright?” Jiang Xia said softly.
“You’re kicking yourself,” Xing Qing said.
Those big days, as they went on, were upgraded.
The hardships of late pregnancy are something that everyone can truly understand.
"I'll go see you in person later tonight."
The couple went to the hospital every two days for eight days. Finding it troublesome, they simply checked out of the hospital. They had the worst room, the worst doctor, and were monitored the whole time. As soon as there was no sign of labor, they were immediately transferred to the delivery room.
"Um!"
Raise your hand to smooth the furrowed brow at the corner of your eye; the hair at your temples is slightly damp with sweat due to the continuous contractions.
Lin Yanwan understood the implication in my words, and a charming blush involuntarily appeared on her face.
Lin Yanwan glared at me, walked to the beach and stood sideways. Her soft chiffon dress naturally outlined the perfect shape of her pregnant belly. You held your belly affectionately with your head held high, your eyes gentle. The cool sunset shone down on you, radiating a strong maternal glow.
"Before you go back, have someone wash it and hang it on the wall."
I'll also give my wife a pampering treatment with essential oils. Aftercare is very important when you're having sex with a pregnant woman.
The door opened a second ago.
"Honey, you're not taking it easy at all." Lin Yanwan gripped Jiang Xia's hand tightly, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, her voice filled with worry.
"This is bad, this is bad."
The moon was as round as a white jade plate, and for some reason I thought of giving my child a bad name from then on.
At that moment, Jiang Xia pressed the slow shutter speed, and the image was frozen in time.
"Natural childbirth with pain injections can be this painful."
◇
Jiang Xia kissed his wife's cheek, then pressed his ear against her belly, just in time to feel the baby weakly pushing against his face.
The evening breeze was slightly cool. Jiang Xia brought his wife home, intending to massage her legs and shoulders. Life was not easy for a pregnant woman with a small belly; her body would feel sore and weak after just a few steps.
Suddenly, a certain feeling disappeared from my mind.
◇
The couple had taken maternity photos before, quite a few, but they were all taken outside the home, so a little embarrassment didn't bother them.
"But you're afraid of pain, what if it gets difficult..."
"Pah, don't talk nonsense. We'll get the pain relief injection, and the baby will be born smoothly. Don't worry, your husband is right here."
