Huo Beixiao didn't answer her, but Lin Xiaohui, who was carrying large bags and running behind Huo Beixiao, said: "Oh, Qiaoqiao, it's already this late, why are you still changing your pants? You can go to the hospital to change them later."
Yang Qiaoqiao looked confused. "When?"
Huo Beixiao's steady and powerful voice came from above, "Wife, your water broke. But don't be afraid, I'm here, you and the baby will be fine, don't worry."
It took Yang Qiaoqiao a while to react.
The doctor had previously told her that as the fetus grows larger, the uterus will compress the bladder, and she might experience urinary incontinence or even leakage.
Although she had never experienced this before, when she felt her pants were wet today, her first thought was that she had leaked urine.
I didn't even consider the possibility of the water breaking.
She didn't feel any pain in her stomach at all.
However, upon hearing Huo Beixiao's words, she instantly came to her senses.
Once they were in the car, Huo Beixiao carefully placed her on the back seat. Lin Xiaohui placed a pillow under her to elevate her buttocks and prevent the amniotic fluid from leaking out too quickly.
If the amniotic fluid dries up, not only will the delivery be difficult, but the baby will also be at risk of suffocation.
Upon arriving at the hospital, after examining her condition, the doctor said, "Currently, the amniotic fluid is sufficient. We can try a vaginal delivery first. If that doesn't work, we can proceed with a cesarean section."
Lin Xiaohui's legs went weak at the mention of a cesarean section. She grabbed the doctor and asked, "Doctor, does a cesarean section mean cutting open my stomach to take the baby out?"
The doctor nodded and said, "That's right."
Lin Xiaohui was so frightened that she felt dizzy.
Nowadays, with the popularization of medical and health knowledge, families with even a little bit of financial means give birth in hospitals.
Especially during this period, there are many people giving birth in hospitals, and doctors are very busy.
After giving Lin Xiaohui a brief answer, he went to see other pregnant women.
Yang Qiaoqiao still didn't feel any abdominal pain. Seeing Lin Xiaohui's pale face and trembling legs, she was about to teach Lin Xiaohui about cesarean sections.
Although modern cesarean section techniques are not as advanced as those of later generations, the only difference is that the incision area is larger and the scar is larger.
In terms of safety, it is already very mature, after all, this is just a very minor surgery.
Before she could speak, an older woman who was taking care of her daughter-in-law said, "Oh, my dear sister, let me tell you, you absolutely must not listen to that doctor and have your daughter-in-law have a C-section."
Not only does a cesarean section cost money, but it also causes suffering for both the mother and child.
There was a young woman in our courtyard who, when she was about to give birth, the doctor said she couldn't deliver naturally and needed a C-section.
And guess what? Three days after giving birth, the young woman said that her lochia hadn't cleared up completely and she had gotten an infection.
The young woman was in the hospital receiving emergency treatment, but she only lasted a week before passing away.
The child she took out after cutting open her stomach was almost three years old, and hadn't uttered a single word. He drooled all the time and looked like a simpleton.
Lin Xiaohui was already scared, and after being frightened by the old lady next door, she broke out in a cold sweat.
The old woman stopped talking to Lin Xiaohui and turned to scold her daughter-in-law, saying, "Daughter-in-law, let me tell you, don't believe that doctor's nonsense about not being able to give birth and needing a C-section."
This woman was born with the ability to give birth. She gave birth to Zhengjun and his three brothers. Back then, we didn't even need to go to the hospital. She just laid her legs and gave birth.
Some women have even smoother births; the baby comes out in the time it takes to urinate, so there's no need to go to the hospital and waste money!
The old woman was talking, but her daughter-in-law didn't respond.
It was a young woman who had given birth alone on a hospital bed further out who spoke up, "Auntie, what are you saying? It's as if the doctor recommends a C-section just to make money."
The doctor makes recommendations based on the condition of the mother and child. They wouldn't suggest a C-section if the mother is capable of giving birth naturally.
You only talk about those who have smooth childbirths, but why don't you mention how many women throughout history have died during childbirth, along with their unborn children?
"Pah, pah, pah!" Upon hearing this, the old woman immediately became displeased and spat three times. "Hey, how can you have such a venomous mouth, you little wife?"
You're here having a baby yourself? Who are you cursing to die along with their unborn child?
The young woman looked at the old lady without flinching and said, "Auntie, I'm just telling you to look at things dialectically, I didn't mean to curse anyone."
Besides, this is a new society now, ma'am, stop talking about feudal superstition all the time.
"What's wrong? After all these years of 'Destroying the Four Olds,' you still haven't managed to get rid of those feudal dregs in your head, Auntie!"
The old lady next door never expected that the young woman would be so quick-witted.
Especially since she lived through those years of destroying the Four Olds, she still felt lingering fear of the scenes of that movement. Hearing her young wife say this, she immediately became so angry that her face turned as red as a pig's liver.
After holding it in for a long time, he finally managed to say, "If I don't tell you, you young people don't understand anything and you don't listen to the elders. You'll suffer the consequences!"
The older woman turned to continue speaking to Lin Xiaohui, "Old sister..."
Not wanting Lin Xiaohui to be frightened any further, Yang Qiaoqiao quickly grabbed Lin Xiaohui, "Ouch, Mom, my stomach hurts so much..."
Before Lin Xiaohui could react to her shout, Huo Beixiao, who had just finished the admission procedures, rushed into the ward from outside.
"Honey, what's wrong? Where does it hurt?"
As Huo Beixiao asked questions, he became so nervous that his face turned pale and he was covered in sweat.
You'd think he was giving birth if you didn't know better!
"Honey, don't be afraid, I'll go get the doctor right away!" Huo Beixiao hurriedly went out to call the doctor again.
At this moment, Lin Xiaohui calmed down. She looked at the amniotic fluid flowing out from Yang Qiaoqiao's body and saw that it was still clear, which made her even more composed.
Holding Yang Qiaoqiao's hand, he comforted her, "Daughter, don't be afraid. Your cervix is dilating, and contractions are normal."
As soon as Lin Xiaohui finished speaking, the old lady next to her said loudly, "You've only just begun! The real pain is yet to come!"
When it dilates to ten fingers, that's when the pain is excruciating, it feels like all the bones in your body have been shattered!
Yang Qiaoqiao didn't answer, but the young woman in the other bed pouted and said, "Didn't you just say you could give birth with a simple leg movement? How come you're in so much pain that your bones feel like they're falling apart?"
The older woman choked again, and replied irritably to the young woman, "I wasn't talking to you, what's it to you? You're so young, why do you talk so much?"
No wonder you don't have anyone at home to serve you; they all probably look down on you!
