Chapter 211 Production
On the morning of June 28th, after seeing that Shi Tingyu was fine, Lu Weiguo got up to go to the camp for morning training.
When he came back with breakfast after the morning training, he saw his wife walking around in the yard.
"What's wrong, wife? Why did you get up so early today?"
Shi Tingyu didn't say anything, ate breakfast first, and then said, "Weiguo, wash my hair later."
Lu Weiguo nodded, always feeling something was wrong.
After washing and drying his hair, Shi Tingyu said, "I had spotting this morning."
Lu Weiguo didn't react. Spotting? What spotting?
"I may be giving birth soon. I had a stomachache last night and I had spotting this morning."
Shi Tingyu had just finished speaking when she felt another pain in her stomach. Her face turned pale and she grabbed Lu Weiguo's arm.
It was hot now, but Lu Weiguo was shocked by her reaction and broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew that she had a stomachache at night and thought it was just some false labor like before, but he didn't expect it to be real this time.
"I, I..." There were too many things to do and Lu Weiguo didn't know what to do for a moment.
Shi Tingyu said, "Take the things we prepared before and let's go to the hospital first."
"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Weiguo responded in a hurry.
He looked at his wife, called Mrs. Zhang from next door to come over and take care of her, and then turned and ran to the camp.
A few days ago, he had coordinated with the camp to arrange for the use of a car.
He had to go there to ask for leave and drive the car over.
Shi Tingyu felt fine now, and the frequency of the pain was not high. With the support of Mrs. Zhang, she walked slowly, and stopped when her stomach hurt. After enduring the pain, she started walking again.
Li Jian followed beside Shi Tingyu, sobbing anxiously. When Shi Tingyu walked, it followed, and when Shi Tingyu stopped, it stopped too, not daring to take its eyes off her.
Mrs. Zhang was amazed.
Soon, Lu Weiguo drove over.
He first helped Shi Tingyu to the car, and then turned around to pick up the delivery bag.
These were all prepared in advance by her wife.
There were clothes for changing, toiletries, toilet paper and the like, as well as clothes and diapers for the children.
As soon as the car door was closed, Shi Tingyu said to Mrs. Zhang: "Sister-in-law, please help take care of Li Jian for two days."
Mrs. Zhang quickly said: "Don't worry about giving birth to the baby, Li Jian, I'm here."
Shi Tingyu was relieved now.
A neighbor is better than a distant relative. This was fully demonstrated at this time.
Li Jian looked at the car going away and was so anxious that he turned around in circles.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang said: "Don't worry, Li Jian, your master is going to give birth to a baby and will be back after giving birth."
I don't know if her words worked, Li Jian stopped turning around, but he was not in a good mood.
After arriving at the hospital, the doctor examined her and said, "The cervix has just opened. You have to wait for the birth. The family members should go and complete the hospitalization procedures first."
After hearing this, Lu Weiguo hurried to complete the hospitalization procedures.
Seeing that Lu Weiguo was worried about the woman in labor and had to run around, the doctor said, "Is there no one else from home to come over?"
At this time, Shi Tingyu remembered that she had not told her parents that she was going to give birth.
When Lu Weiguo came back, Shi Tingyu asked him to call her parents to let them know.
Fortunately, there was a phone in the hospital, so they didn't have to run to the post office.
When Shi's father and mother received the call, they were shocked. It wasn't even the due date yet, and she was going to give birth.
The two of them quickly asked for leave and came over.
Following them were four soldiers who were there to protect the two of them.
Fortunately, this is a military hospital with better security measures.
When the two arrived, Lu Weiguo was walking with Shi Tingyu.
At this time, the couple's faces were equally pale.
Or Lu Weiguo's face was paler than Shi Tingyu's.
He thought giving birth was about starting with a stomachache and ending after giving birth. He
didn't expect there was such a thing as dilation of the cervix.
It had to be dilated to ten fingers, and it would take four to twelve hours.
Looking at Shi Tingyu who was in unbearable pain from time to time, Lu Weiguo felt that every day was like a year, and every minute and every second was really torture. Seeing Shi
's father and mother coming over, Lu Weiguo seemed to have seen a savior.
Shi's mother also looked anxious. She walked over and supported Shi Tingyu's other side, "Xiaoyu, how do you feel now? What did the doctor say?"
When the contractions just passed, Shi Tingyu panted and said, "I feel I can still bear it. The doctor checked before and it was five fingers dilated."
First-time mothers have slow labor, and they enter the delivery room when the first baby's cervix is almost fully dilated.
They have to wait a little longer.
Shi's mother looked at Lu Weiguo who kept wiping Shi Tingyu's sweat, and said, "It will probably take some time for Xiaoyu to be born. You take a rest first."
She saw that he looked like he was going to faint at any time, which was a bit scary.
Lu Weiguo nodded in agreement, but he didn't move.
Shi Tingyu saw him like an ant on a hot pot, and thought of the sharp sword circling around her.
At this time, the actions of the man and the dog were surprisingly similar.
Shi's father's reaction at this time was similar to Lu Weiguo's. He was unable to help and wandered around the ward.
Shi's mother was annoyed, so she ordered her husband out, "Go buy some porridge or noodles so that Xiaoyu can eat more."
When Shi's father heard this, he hurried out.
Not long after, Shi's father came over with food.
Shi Tingyu really had no appetite at this time, and stopped eating after a few bites.
Lu Weiguo was very anxious. His wife had always had a good appetite, but now she couldn't even eat.
This situation continued until four o'clock in the afternoon when Shi Tingyu was pushed into the delivery room.
Outside the delivery room, Shi's father, Shi's mother and Lu Weiguo were waiting anxiously.
Inside the delivery room, Shi Tingyu's cries of pain could be heard from time to time.
The doctor saw Shi Tingyu's beautiful face, which was now pale. He felt pity for her, and even she, a woman, softened her heart.
She said softly, "That's how childbirth is. Just bear with it, don't be afraid, and don't shout. Save more energy to suffer less."
Shi Tingyu nodded.
When the pain came again, she tried her best to hold it back, and only a sob came out of her throat.
The doctor praised her, "Very good."
Then he said, "Follow my breathing and push hard."
Shi Tingyu tried hard to ignore the pain and followed the doctor's instructions to breathe in and out, pushing when she should and resting when she should.
At this time, Shi Tingyu became rational. She knew that only by following the doctor's instructions could she suffer less.
Outside the delivery room, Lu Weiguo felt that his heartbeat was about to stop amidst his wife's cries of pain.
But when he could no longer hear the sound in the delivery room, he became even more nervous.
"Mom, why is there no sound in there?"
Shi's mother was also anxious. It was her daughter in there, who was suffering from the pain of giving birth.
However, as the only one with childbirth experience, she tried to calm herself down and trembled, "It's right not to scream. Not screaming saves energy, which is conducive to childbirth."
Although she said so, Shi's mother's eyes were still red.
It was because she had been a mother that she knew the pain of giving birth. Now her child had to go through this once, and she felt very sad.
Father Shi held Mother Shi's hand and patted it gently.
He consoled her: "Xiaoyu has always been in good health and walks almost every day. The doctor said this pregnancy is also fine. Don't worry."
Father Shi was not without worries, but he couldn't panic at this time. He couldn't
rely on his son-in-law now, and his daughter-in-law still needed his comfort. He couldn't fall down.
