Director Wu said, "A C-section is recommended. Generally, C-sections are performed only in emergencies, and it's recommended to be performed on an empty stomach. Don't eat after 11:00 tonight, and don't drink after 3:30 AM. The C-section is tentatively scheduled for 8:00 AM tomorrow, but there are unexpected circumstances, so we might not do it. For example, some women go into labor quickly. We'll observe them tonight to see how they go. If you have severe or regular pain, or if your water breaks, ring the bell to notify the nurse. Have you decided on a C-section?"
Su Tiantian grabbed Liu Jingze's hand and said nervously, "Yes."
Director Wu said, "Then I will temporarily schedule the first surgery for you tomorrow. Before the surgery, I will examine you again to see if you can have a natural birth. Of course, a natural birth is best if it is possible."
Doctor Zhang said, "A nurse will come to the ward later to tell you about the precautions for the surgery. Just a reminder, if you want to wash your hair, do it tonight, otherwise you will not wash your hair for a long time during the confinement period."
Liu Jingze nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, doctor."
Su Tiantian lay down and let Azhi wash her hair. She grabbed Liu Jingze's hand and said, "Brother Jing, I'm nervous. I'm such a big person and I've never had surgery before."
Liu Jingze comforted her: "Tiantian, don't be afraid. My father and your parents will be here tomorrow morning. We will be waiting for you outside the operating room."
As Ah Zhi carefully washed Su Tiantian's hair, he said, "Mrs. Liu, don't worry too much. Think about it. You haven't had much pain today. If you have a C-section tomorrow morning, you'll only have pain once. Some people can't have a natural birth and then have a C-section, which is even harder, with two pains. Also, you might have gone into labor before the surgery, so you might have a natural birth. In short, don't worry about having two babies. Think about it, you have two babies. Others will have the same pain as you, or even more, for just one."
Su Tiantian smiled: "Azhi, you are really good at coaxing people."
Liu Jingze said, "You can't eat after 11 o'clock. Tiantian, what do you want to eat? I'll prepare a midnight snack for you."
Su Tiantian held Liu Jingze's hand and placed it on her belly. The baby was moving. Su Tiantian said, "I want to eat better to welcome the two babies."
Liu Jingze said, "Okay, let Ayang and the driver go buy it."
Just after seven in the morning, Su Jinyuan, Sang Yimei, and Su Zhihao arrived. Liu Liangjie, Wu Xilun, and Azhi also arrived. They drove separately and met in the hospital parking lot.
Liu Liangjie said, "Jinyuan, it seems you are as nervous as I am. You are here so early."
Su Jinyuan said: "Brother Liang, Tiantian has never had surgery before, I'm afraid she will be scared."
The VIP ward consisted of one bedroom and one living room. After Ah Zhi opened the door and saw everyone, he placed his right index finger to his lips, silencing them, and whispered, "Don't wake Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu."
Everyone understood, walked in quietly, sat on the sofa, and didn't say anything.
About half an hour later, someone knocked on the door. Azhi went to open it. It was Director Wu and Doctor Zhang, followed by two nurses.
The four of them didn't find it strange to see so many people in the room.
Liu Liangjie quickly greeted him: "Good morning, Director Wu."
Director Wu said, "Good morning. Your family members arrived so early. Is the pregnant woman inside?"
Azhi said, "Yes." Then he pushed open the door and saw Liu Jingze holding Su Tiantian sitting on the hospital bed. Both of them were awake, with fatigue in their eyes.
Doctor Zhang said, "It seems the pregnant woman didn't get enough rest."
Su Tiantian said: "Every one or two hours a nurse came in to ask if I was in pain. I couldn't sleep well, and later I had an ultrasound."
Director Wu said, "I looked at the ultrasound results this morning. The amniotic fluid has decreased compared to yesterday's results. Low amniotic fluid will affect the fetus. I think we must give birth to the baby today no matter what. Pregnant women and their families, I ask you again: would you rather try to induce labor with an injection or have a cesarean section? Which one would you choose?"
Su Tiantian asked, "Is the chance of a natural birth high?"
Doctor Zhang said, "Let's go to the examination room and check again to see if your cervix is dilated. Your current contractions don't look intense, so even if your cervix is dilated, it probably won't be much. Su Tiantian, you walked so well last night, so you can walk on your own."
Director Wu joked, "Doctor Zhang, the woman's husband is here, so he can be allowed to carry the baby."
Doctor Zhang's face was devoid of smiles. "Su Tiantian weighs 127 pounds, and her husband is tall and handsome, so she can be carried. Director Wu, please go check on the pregnant woman we admitted in the middle of the night. Two nurses and a family member were exhausted when they moved her to the bed. She weighed 210 pounds. Just imagine how difficult the surgery must have been."
Director Wu's expression also grew serious: "What? The pregnant woman is so heavy, is it multiple births?"
Doctor Zhang said: "Single pregnancy."
Director Wu was speechless. Is a single baby so heavy?
Director Wu and Doctor Zhang examined Su Tiantian again, and then the three came out of the examination room. Seeing this, Liu Jingze hurried forward to support Su Tiantian.
