Is this... a contraction?!
"It seems like... I'm about to give birth..." Shen Li's face turned pale, and she clutched Lu Jing's clothes with her slender white hands and spoke.
"I'll take you to the infirmary here!" Lu Jingru quickly picked up the little girl carefully, and he strode towards her with Shen Li in his arms.
During this time, people passing by couldn't help but ask, "Captain Lu, what's going on?"
"My wife is about to give birth!" Lu Jingxiao strode quickly and ran towards the military doctor's office.
When Sister Narcissus saw this, she quickly ran to Shen Li's house to inform Du Lan, "Aunt, Sister Li is about to give birth. I just saw Captain Lu carrying Sister Li to the infirmary!"
Duran's scalp went numb when she heard this. She became excited and ecstatic, "Okay, thank you!"
Then he turned around and ran into the house to get his bag.
As early as when Shen Li was pregnant, Du Lan had prepared everything needed for delivery and placed them all in a bundle, which he placed in the most conspicuous place in his bedroom.
The advantage of doing this is that when the baby is really about to be born, you can grab the bag and carry it on your back to get to the hospital quickly.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" At this time, Lu Minghui was sitting at the table doing his homework. Seeing Du Lan's unhappy look, he raised his head and asked.
"Your mother is about to give birth!"
Hearing this, Lu Minghui immediately put down the pen in his hand, stood up quickly, raised his calves, and ran towards the door.
"Duoduo, mom is about to give birth!" Lu Minghui ran into the small yard and shouted loudly.
Duoduo 녊 was feeding the little rabbits in the rabbit nest with lush green grass. After hearing 누's words, she stood up immediately, threw away the rabbit grass in her arms, and said, "놖 wants to go too!"
The three of them ran quickly towards the infirmary.
After running out of the small yard, Lu Minghui suddenly thought of something, "Grandma, we have a bicycle at home!"
"Oh, what a stupid brain! How could I forget the bike!" Duran patted her head and turned back. She hung the heavy bag on the handlebars of the bike, stretched her thighs, and sat on the bike, "Minghui, Duoduo, come quickly."
The two children sat on the bicycle, one in front and one behind.
Duoduo sat on the front beam of the bicycle, Xiao held the handlebars, and Lu Minghui sat on the back seat of the bicycle, hugging Du Lan's waist.
Duran pedaled his bicycle all the way, almost making the wheels of the two bicycles smoke.
Duoduo and Minghui's hair fluttered in the sea breeze.

In the infirmary.
"It hurts so much..." Shen Li lay on the hospital bed, her hands tightly grasping the bed handles.
She didn't suffer much during her pregnancy.
No vomiting during pregnancy, no frequent urination, just like nothing happened.
But when giving birth, the contractions are still very painful.
This kind of pain is similar to menstrual cramps, but it is more painful than menstrual cramps.
However, this kind of pain has a rhythm, it hurts sometimes, sometimes it hurts, instead of being constant.
The female military doctor stood beside Shen Li and said to her, "Your cervix is now dilating. You have to dilate from one finger to all ten fingers. Only when all ten fingers are dilated can you give birth."
"The pain means the cervix is opening."
One-finger-dilation means that there is a gap as big as a finger in the cervix.
Once all ten fingers are fully opened, the baby can be born through the cervix.
Shen Li remembered that in the future, she would have to open her neck a little more than two fingers before she could get the painless injection.
But for many women, it takes three or four months for the cervix to dilate more than two fingers.
As for how many children to have, it also depends on individual constitution.
Some women were able to give birth after only one hour in the delivery room.
But not every woman will feel pain during childbirth. Everyone has a different physique and tolerance to pain.
"This is the first baby. Births are usually slow. It will be very fast when the second baby comes." said the female military doctor.
Lu Jing was accompanying Shen Li by the bed, looking at her pale little face, her facial features wrinkled in pain, her hair soaked in sweat, and her little face covered in cold sweat. He held Shen Li's little hand tightly, his deep eyes flushed red, "Don't have an abortion... don't have this one..."
His wife is in so much pain that she is tortured by a child.
He didn't want his wife to suffer again.
"It's like this when women give birth." The female military doctor sighed and said, "Your wife is in relatively good physical condition. Those with poor physical conditions will cry out in pain until their voices become hoarse...Giving birth is always painful, but some people feel less pain, and some people feel more intense pain."
Lu Jing held Shen Li's hand, his stern face heavy and cold.
At this time, Duran had arrived with his two children, waiting anxiously outside.
Qiu Nian also came to the infirmary, and his family members were waiting outside.
Qiu Nian waited outside for a while and walked towards the infirmary.
At this time, the doctor pulled a cloth curtain in front of Shen Li's bed, surrounding Shen Li completely. Therefore, Qiu Nian could not see Shen Li giving birth. This kind of curtain can also protect the personal privacy of the mother to a great extent.
"What's wrong?" Qiu Nian asked anxiously.
"The cervix is still dilating and the cervix has just opened. It will probably take a while to give birth," said the doctor.
Lu Jing looked at Qiu Nian anxiously, "Uncle, do you know any herbs that can help women give birth and relieve their pain?"
Qiu Nian said, "Lotus root can invigorate blood circulation and promote uterine contraction. Motherwort can also increase the frequency and amplitude of uterine contraction, helping the delivery process and postpartum recovery... There are also Achyranthes bidentata, Angelica dahurica, and Corydalis yanhusuo... These medicines are all good for childbirth."
As he spoke, Qiu Nian looked at the military doctor and asked, "Do you have these Chinese medicines?"
"We don't have medicine here. We don't have any of these medicines." The military doctor shook his head.
Lu Jing thought of something. He held Shen Li's hand and entered Shen Li's space with his mind.
He remembered that there were some medicinal herbs in the space mall.
Soon, he found the medicine field in the space.
I found these herbs in that field of herbs.
Lu Jing picked out the largest and best herbs, took them out and quietly hid them in his palm.
He went out on the pretext of buying some herbs, and when he came back he opened his stall and asked, "Uncle, what do you think of these herbs?"
"Good! These medicines are very rare! They have great medicinal value! Where did you find medicines of such high quality in such a short time?" Qiu Nian looked at Lu Jing excitedly, "These are good medicines that are hard to find in the market!"
"It doesn't matter where you bought the medicine. What matters is Lili's current physical condition." Lu Jing said in a deep voice, "Uncle, please help me prepare the medicine."
"Okay, let's go and boil the medicine!" Qiu Nian took the herbs excitedly, got up quickly and went back to boil the medicine.
