Qin Yalan was supported by the old woman and walked slowly around the room. As time went by, the pain became more and more obvious.
Tian An saw that she was almost ready, so she asked her to lie down. The midwife looked at her and exclaimed, "Walking before delivery is really helpful! It's only been a short while! She's already two fingers dilated."
Tian An checked Qin Yalan's condition again and asked Mrs. Wu, "Did Yalan eat anything today?"
"Oh no!" Mrs. Wu slapped her thigh. "Ya Lan said her stomach was moving earlier, but we were so busy calling for help that we forgot about it."
As she spoke, she quickly told the maid to get some food.
Fortunately, in order to help Qin Yalan take care of her pregnancy, the kitchen was always stocked with food, and the maid quickly brought a bowl of chicken porridge.
Tian An told Qin Yalan to take the opportunity to eat as soon as the contractions were over.
It took me a full quarter of an hour to finish a bowl of porridge, as I took turns eating it.
After drinking the porridge, Qin Yalan's mental state improved a lot.
Tian An took another piece of chocolate and asked her to eat it to replenish her energy.
The midwife was amazed. "This dark candy called chocolate can also help with childbirth?"
Tian An nodded and said, "Chocolate can replenish calories. Eating some before giving birth will give you more strength when you give birth."
More than half an hour passed, and the cervix was already dilated to four fingers. Qin Yalan could hardly bear the pain when it came.
Seeing that she couldn't help crying out in pain, Tian An began to give her acupuncture to relieve the pain.
After a set of pain-relieving acupuncture treatments, Qin Yalan's originally painful expression instantly relaxed.
The midwife realized it belatedly and kept muttering, "Acupuncture to relieve pain... painless childbirth..." Then she looked at Tian An with sudden realization, "You, you, you are the Princess of Anping County!"
Tian An, who was wearing a mask, nodded at her and said, "It's me."
The midwife was immediately very excited, as if she had met her idol. If it were in modern times, she would probably rush to Tian An and ask for his autograph like those star-chasing girls.
Wu Hongjing, who was outside the house, heard Qin Yalan call out twice, and then there was no sound. He thought something had happened and hurried to knock on the door to ask what happened.
Wu Hongkun, who was quick-witted and quick-handed, grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I, I'll go and ask what's going on inside?" He said, looking at the door of the delivery room with a worried look on his face.
Doctor Qin came over and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry! There's nothing wrong inside. It must have been because her cervix was dilated to four or five fingers, and Yalan couldn't bear it anymore, so she cried out."
He was still worried, "Then, why is there no sound now?"
Doctor Qin stroked his clean-shaven chin with a confident look on his face and said, "The county lady must be using acupuncture to relieve the pain."
Wu Hongyi walked over and slapped Wu Hongjing on the back of the head, "Are you confused? We asked An An to come here so that my sister-in-law can have an epidural!"
Wu Hongjing took a slap, but he wasn't angry. He just smiled slowly and said, "I was in a hurry and forgot about it."
Wu Hongkun then looked at him carefully, his eyes widening in disbelief. "No way! Hongjing, it was your sister-in-law who gave birth to the child, why are you shaking like this? You're a young general, and that's all you can handle?"
Wu Hongkun, who was mocking Wu Hongjing at this time, never thought that when Song Zhiyun gave birth to a child in the future, he would hardly be able to walk, and would be even worse than Wu Hongjing!
In the delivery room, since Qin Yalan no longer felt pain, she was in better condition than before the birth. She was chatting and laughing with Tian An and the others, and did not look like a pregnant woman with her cervix dilated to five fingers.
It was also the first time for the midwife to witness this kind of painless childbirth. From the initial shock to the curiosity later, the desire for knowledge in her eyes never stopped.
Unfortunately, she knew that although Tian An accepted disciples, she was too old and would never have the chance in this lifetime. If she were ten years younger, she would have fought for it even at the cost of her reputation.
Qin Yalan strictly followed Tian An's requirements to take care of the fetus throughout her pregnancy, so both she and the fetus were well taken care of, and there were no accidents until her cervix was fully opened at noon.
The midwife was experiencing this kind of painless delivery for the first time and had no experience, so she took the initiative to make way and carefully observed Tian An delivering Qin Yalan.
Tian An asked Qin Yalan to follow her instructions, "Breathe in...exhale...inhale...exhale...inhale again...pull harder..."
After repeating this several times, everyone heard a "Wow..." and knew that the baby was born.
The birthing process went smoothly, with no tearing or episiotomy.
The midwife took the child from Tian An and hurried to clean him.
Yuhong brought out a scale and asked her to put the baby on it. After recording the baby's weight, she started measuring the height, followed by a series of basic examinations.
After making sure that there was no problem, she handed the baby over to the midwife to dress it, wrap it in swaddling clothes, and then took the child to announce the good news to Mrs. Wu.
Thinking of the weight Yuhong had just measured, the midwife subconsciously changed her usual way of announcing the good news, "Congratulations, Madam. Congratulations, Madam, the young lady has given birth to a little master weighing six pounds and six ounces."
Mrs. Wu took the child and held it in front of Qin Yalan to show her, "Yalan, look, this child's eyes look like yours, big and black, so beautiful. His nose is like Hongjing's, tall and straight. He will definitely be a handsome young man in the future."
Qin Yalan looked at the child with eyes full of love and novelty. This was her child, her and Hongjing's child!
After Qin Yalan saw the child, Tian An asked Mrs. Wu to take the child out, and Qin Yalan still had to do follow-up examinations and cleaning.
When checking and cleaning, Tian An did not do it himself, but stood aside and let Yaoyao and Yuhong practice.
Fortunately, the two of them studied hard, and although they were a little panicked when they saw such a scene for the first time, they quickly calmed down.
Although the technique was a little unfamiliar, there were no mistakes throughout the process, and the midwife stood by to absorb experience and make up for shortcomings.
Now she trusts Tian An 100%. She thinks everything Tian An says makes sense, almost to the point of obeying his orders.
Because there was no pain throughout the process and the birth went smoothly without any suffering, Qin Yalan was in good spirits until all the postpartum matters were handled and the maids cleaned the delivery room.
Tian An stayed with her until Mrs. Wu walked around outside with the child in her arms, and Wu Hongjing came in awkwardly holding the child. Tian An then took Yaoyao and Yuhong out of the room, leaving the space for the three of them.
When the midwife came out, Qin Yalan couldn't help but tell Doctor Qin and others about the details of her delivery.
Knowing that Qin Yalan did not suffer, Master Qin was very grateful to Tian An.
Doctor Qin had an expression as if he was used to it. He was a doctor and knew Tian An's strength well. From the moment Tian An came, he was no longer worried.
Seeing that Master Qin was nagging Tian An endlessly, he impatiently pushed his stupid son aside and went to discuss medical skills with Tian An.
Yaoyao and Yuhong couldn't get a word in, so they just listened attentively and took out the notebooks they carried with them to take notes.
