Chapter 496: Son and Daughter
When Lu's mother saw that something was wrong, she quickly lifted the quilt to help her check. Her amniotic fluid had indeed broken, but fortunately the amount of water out was not very large.
While comforting Lin Siqiao, Mother Lu placed a thick pillow under her and asked her to lie on her left side.
This not only helps open the cervix, but also slows down the outflow of amniotic fluid.
But this alone is not enough. Although the speed at which the cervix opens varies from person to person, it can take more than ten or twenty hours if it is slow. Mother Lu must be prepared for both situations.
Thinking of this, she quickly contacted the hospital.
If the cervix does not open fast enough after a few hours, a caesarean section will be the only option.
As soon as Mother Lu left, the ward suddenly became quiet.
At this moment, Lin Siqiao's brain was still in a blank stage. Thinking about her mother-in-law's instructions just now, she didn't dare to move, but just rubbed her belly gently.
It is in this situation that labor pains come silently.
During her pregnancy, Lin Siqiao lived a very comfortable life except that her body became a little heavy in the later stages of pregnancy.
It was not until the pain spread throughout her body that she deeply realized the saying: Sooner or later, you will pay for what you have done.
I knew it would hurt, but I didn't expect it to be this painful.
It felt like a huge stone mill was running down along her spine, and when it reached her waist and abdomen, it began to grind back and forth continuously.
Lin Siqiao bit her lip and kept adjusting her breathing.
But the pain did not ease, instead it became more severe.
Suddenly, the door opened with a click.
Lin Siqiao was lying on her side on the bed and could not see anything, but she could hear that it was the footsteps of Lu Jianchuan.
Seeing him squatting in front of her bed with red eyes and saying sorry incoherently, Lin Siqiao's tears, which she had been holding back for a long time, suddenly fell.
"You...why are you back?"
This sentence not only expresses a sense of grievance, but also a kind of indescribable sense of security.
Lu Jianchuan reached out and brushed away the strands of hair on her forehead. "I was worried about you, and my heart was in turmoil. That's why I came back."
Lin Siqiao hummed softly.
At this time, the contractions came again and Lin Siqiao's breathing began to become rapid.
She felt that it was no longer a millstone that was grinding her waist, but rather someone was holding a large hammer, hitting it again and again.
"Lu Jianchuan, hug me, it hurts so much..."
"My waist seems to be broken..."
Seeing her crying out in pain, Lu Jianchuan's breathing became disordered and he quickly rubbed his palms to warm them up.
Soon, the big hand landed on her lower back.
Lu Jianchuan's hands are strong and his palms are warm, so it feels very comfortable to press them.
Lin Siqiao's sobbing gradually subsided.
After a while, Lu's mother came back.
She checked Lin Siqiao first, and fortunately her cervix was already dilated to two fingers.
Mother Lu told Lu Jianchuan not to stop what he was doing, while she made a cup of thick honey water.
In addition to replenishing sugar and helping physical recovery, honey can also relieve the tension of pregnant women.
I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but after drinking a cup of sweet honey water, Lin Siqiao really felt that the pain seemed to be relieved a lot.
Mother Lu said nothing, but just looked at her with heartache.
As a doctor, how could she not know that the pain had not actually eased, it was just that the pain had lasted for too long and the body had gradually become numb.
Time passed in agony, until almost ten o'clock in the evening, when Lin Siqiao's cervix finally opened to three fingers.
In fact, the most difficult part of the cervix to open is the first three fingers. Once they are opened, the rest will be quick.
Mother Lu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pushed the patient and the bed into the delivery room.
As soon as the door of the delivery room was closed, Lu Jianchuan became the one who suffered. He stared at the delivery room without blinking, like a stone waiting for his wife.
When he heard Lin Siqiao's cry of pain from inside, his heart also tightened into a ball.
His clenched fists kept clenching and unclenching, and his steps began to become disorderly.
Two hours later, Lin Siqiao's cervix was dilated to ten fingers. Mother Lu stared at the birth canal and kept instructing her.
"Come on, Qiao Qiao, take a deep breath first, then exhale slowly through your mouth."
"Yes, that's it, very good"
"Great, Qiao Qiao, let's do it again, keep it up"
"Okay, now you are using extra strength, just like that, Qiao Qiao, you can use more strength."
"I can already see the baby's head, keep trying"
Lin Siqiao took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and used all his strength.
Just like that, with the sound of exertion again and again, the child finally slid out of the body smoothly.
After a while, she heard a loud cry.
Mother Lu had no time to announce the good news because there was not much amniotic fluid left in her stomach and she had to hurry.
With the previous experience, the cooperation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be obviously more tacit.
A few minutes later, the second child was born safely.
More than ten hours had passed since the start of the operation. At this moment, Lin Siqiao was like a dying fish. Apart from her instinctive breathing, she was completely unaware of anything around her.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Siqiao slowly opened his eyelids.
During the time she was asleep, Lu Jianchuan didn't go anywhere and stayed with her all the time, so that she could see him as soon as she opened her eyes.
Seeing that she woke up, Lu Jianchuan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Wife, are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Siqiao felt it and found that except for a little soreness and swelling down there, everything else was fine.
Not really, she still felt a little hot.
Lin Siqiao was about to put her hand out from under the quilt, but Lu Jianchuan quickly pushed her hand back.
"The doctor has told me that you should keep warm after giving birth and avoid being exposed to the wind."
Lin Siqiao was speechless. The door and windows of the room were closed tightly, so where did the wind come from?
But it was no use what she said. Lu Jianchuan usually obeyed her in big and small matters, but he was very stubborn about some things.
Lin Siqiao didn't argue with him, but just looked around and asked, "Where are the children?"
She fell into a coma after giving birth, so much so that she still doesn't know whether it was a boy or a girl.
Speaking of children, Lu Jianchuan's eyes were filled with smiles. After leaning over and kissing the corner of Lin Siqiao's mouth, he said.
"The children are outside. I'll go get them and show them to you."
He moved so quickly that Lin Siqiao didn't have time to react.
By the time I reacted, Lu Jianchuan had already moved the two little ones in with their beds.
Lin Siqiao was so angry that his head was buzzing!
"They were sleeping soundly, why did you move them? Why don't you just tell me directly whether it's a boy or a girl?"
"Wife, you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl!"
"What? Twins, boy and girl?"
Lin Siqiao was stunned for a long time after hearing this. In fact, she has never been very concerned about having children, and she has no obsession with having a boy or a girl. Otherwise, she would not have said long ago that she would only have one child, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl.
But when she heard about the twins, Lin Siqiao couldn't stop being happy.
She is so great that she can have a boy and a girl in one pregnancy!
Lu Jianchuan nodded. If his wife wasn’t great, who would be?
Seeing that his wife had almost recovered, Lu Jianchuan continued.
"The babies are healthy and cute. Brother weighs 1.5 jin and Tangtang weighs 2.5 jin. Both babies look very much like you."
Hearing that all the children looked like him, Lin Siqiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
She hurriedly asked Lu Jianchuan to move the cradle closer.
Just by looking at it, Lin Siqiao began to doubt his life.
She thought she was pretty good-looking, and Lu Jianchuan's facial features were also very three-dimensional and stylish. Logically speaking, their baby should not be as cute as in the New Year pictures, but at least he would not be ugly.
But the two little guys in the cradle... really look like two monkeys at first glance.
Take another look and it looks even more like it!
If she wasn't the only woman in labor in the delivery room today, Lin Siqiao would have suspected that the baby was taken away by mistake.
But blood relationship is so magical, the babies are still wrinkled now.
But when he saw them clenching their fists and smacking their lips unconsciously, Lin Siqiao's heart softened.
Finally, she stared at the two babies for a long time, until her eyes fell on the thick black hair, then she nodded heavily.
"Yeah, it does look like me!"
