Chapter 88: Birth
The girl who lived opposite Li Ruolan and was about his age widened her eyes when she saw Li Ruolan's belly.
"Your belly is so big, are you pregnant with twins?"
Li Ruolan smiled at her and nodded.
Zhou Shengnan went to wash the lunch boxes of several people, Zheng Fanghua stayed in the ward to watch over things, and Deng Minghao helped Li Ruolan go out for a walk to help digest the food.
After walking a few steps, Li Ruolan frowned and held her waist. Deng Minghao reached out and rubbed it for her: "What's wrong? Is your waist hurting?"
Li Ruolan shook her head: "It's not painful, but my waist is a little sore, but it should be fine, I just need to move around."
Deng Minghao supported Li Ruolan, and the two walked back and forth for a while. Li Ruolan's back pain was indeed relieved a lot.
After walking for such a long time, Li Ruolan felt a little tired, so she went back to the ward.
In the ward, the pregnant woman sitting opposite Li Ruolan was holding her belly and frowning. Two women of similar age were sitting beside her bed, one of them should be her mother and the other her mother-in-law.
The woman's husband was looking at her with a distressed look on his face.
As for the other woman, she was lying alone on the bed at this time, and her husband was nowhere to be found.
Li Ruolan had just laid back on the bed when the woman on the bed opposite her started holding her stomach and complaining about the pain. It looked like she was about to give birth.
As a result, she screamed in the ward for the entire day, but her cervix didn't even dilate a few fingers. Li Ruolan felt dizzy after listening to her screaming for so long.
The woman's mother-in-law glanced at Li Ruolan and said in surprise, "You've been here for a whole day, and I haven't seen you cry out in pain. Is it not your time yet?"
Deng Minghao said: "We live far from the hospital, so as soon as we felt the birth was about to happen, we rushed to the hospital to save the trouble of going back and forth."
The woman's mother-in-law said "oh".
The woman's cries of pain came one after another, and the couple over there, who had been very quiet until now, suddenly started quarreling.
"Wife? Are you about to give birth too? Wait for me to call a doctor for you." After saying that, he quickly ran out and came back with a doctor after a while.
"You're already five fingers dilated, why don't you cry out in pain? If you had held on a little longer, the baby would have been born. Come on, she can be taken to the delivery room now."
The delivery room suddenly became messy again. Li Ruolan was annoyed by the noise, so she tugged at Deng Minghao's clothes and the two of them left the ward.
After finding an empty corner, Li Ruolan went into the space to sleep, while Deng Minghao stayed outside the ward, looking at the things in the ward.
Li Ruolan slept in the space for almost five hours and came out feeling full of energy. The woman in the ward had not yet entered the delivery room.
"What's going on? Can't the baby be born?" Li Ruolan asked Deng Minghao.
Deng Minghao nodded: "The doctor came to check several times and said that it's not time for me to give birth yet."
Li Ruolan responded, "It will be dawn soon. You should lie down in the next ward for a while. Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua will probably be here soon. I will call you if I feel unwell."
After staying up all night, Deng Minghao was indeed a little sleepy. He wrapped himself in his military coat and fell asleep on the empty bed.
Li Ruolan looked at Deng Minghao with envy. Not to mention that there was a woman in the ward who kept crying out in pain, even if there were seven or eight of them, Deng Minghao could fall asleep right away and not be woken up.
Li Ruolan, lying on the hospital bed, felt a sour taste in her stomach again. She felt uncomfortable and kept tossing and turning in bed.
Deng Minghao slept for more than two hours and only woke up when Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua came to bring them breakfast.
After finishing her meal, Li Ruolan felt her waist was sore again, so she asked Deng Minghao to massage her, but the massage didn't work. Li Ruolan felt as if her waist was sore from the bones, so sore that she almost cried.
"No, something is wrong. Let's call a doctor to take a look. My waist is sore." Li Ruolan said with a painful look on her face.
Zhou Shengnan immediately became nervous and said, "I'll go call them." Then she ran out quickly.
Zheng Fanghua made a cup of brown sugar water for Li Ruolan.
The doctor came over to check on Li Ruolan and pressed her stomach first. Only then did Li Ruolan realize that her stomach was as tight as a ball.
"She's about to give birth. Family members, please go out first and draw the curtain. I'll take a look at her." The doctor drove Deng Minghao out.
Then he checked Li Ruolan and said, "She is indeed about to give birth. Her cervix has already opened one finger. If you can still bear it, come down and walk around. It will help with the birth."
After saying this, the doctor looked at the woman lying on the bed opposite Li Ruolan.
"It's been almost two days, and you're still only two fingers dilated. If you really can't do it, you can get down and walk around. It's not a good idea to just lie in bed and be afraid of the pain."
The woman's mother immediately said, "But she said she couldn't even stand up because of the pain. Doctor, what can we do?"
"If she can't walk, then you can carry her. Anyway, she needs to move more. If she just keeps lying like this, if the amniotic fluid leaks out and she can't give birth for a long time, the baby will definitely be suffocated."
After saying this, the doctor didn't stay in the ward for long. He just shook his head and walked out.
Li Ruolan forced herself to get out of bed despite the pain in her waist, drank a whole cup of brown sugar water, and began to walk slowly.
Deng Minghao and Zheng Fanghua supported her on both sides.
As soon as I reached the door, the woman who was sent to the delivery room last night came back. She had given birth to a son.
At this moment, Li Ruolan only felt that the pain in her waist was getting worse and worse, and her stomach was also tightening and feeling particularly hard.
It was unknown how long it had been before Li Ruolan stopped with sweat all over her forehead, and suddenly she felt a stream of water flowing out.
It's winter now and she is wearing thick clothes. Apart from herself, Deng Minghao and the others haven't seen it yet.
Li Ruolan frowned and said, "It seems that the amniotic fluid has broken. Go call a doctor immediately."
The ones supporting Li Ruolan now are Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua. Deng Minghao has been supporting Li Ruolan for most of the day and they are taking a rest now.
As soon as he heard that Li Ruolan's water broke, Deng Minghao hurried to call a doctor.
Several people carried her to the bed. The doctor checked and said that her cervix was six fingers dilated and she could be sent to the delivery room.
Before, Li Ruolan felt back pain, but after her water broke, in addition to back pain, she also felt stomach pain, which became more and more painful.
Knowing that she had to conserve her strength and not shout at this time, Li Ruolan could only hum continuously.
When Deng Minghao saw Li Ruolan like this, his hands trembled and his legs became weak. After seeing Li Ruolan enter the delivery room, he sat down on a stool.
Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua also looked towards the delivery room worriedly. It was very quiet outside the delivery room, without any sound at all.
Therefore, Li Ruolan's cries of pain could be heard more clearly.
After the amniotic fluid broke, Li Ruolan's cervix opened very quickly and was soon fully dilated. She pushed as the doctor instructed.
I was half-groggy and felt a pain under my body, and then something slipped out.
Li Ruolan immediately felt a lot more relaxed. Just as she was about to lie down, the doctor urged her, "Don't give up. There's still another baby in your belly."
