Ye Qingtao tried everything she could think of, just to keep the baby in her belly for a while longer.

As a doctor, she knew very well that the chances of conceiving triplets naturally were very low.

Triplet pregnancies often result in miscarriage due to various reasons.

Even if you are lucky enough to carry the pregnancy to full term, giving birth is like having one foot in the gate of hell.

Especially now when caesarean sections are not yet popular and medical technology is not well developed, if you rely on natural childbirth, the chance of dystocia will increase again.

Ye Qingtao had already made preparations for both situations. She found the best gynecologist in the provincial hospital.

Gynecologist Ye Qingtao was called into her home and personally explained to her the anatomy of cesarean delivery.

The doctor had never performed this surgery before, so this was also a challenge for her.

Fortunately, the cesarean section operation is not very complicated. Under Ye Qingtao's patient teaching, the director of gynecology quickly had a clear understanding of the operation.

The only regret is that because he didn't encounter any women suffering from difficult labor during this period, he had no way to verify it on others.

Moreover, Ye Qingtao was not at ease with her experimenting on others.

So in the end, this matter was endured and delayed again and again, and ultimately Ye Qingtao had to be the guinea pig.

Ye Qingtao already showed signs of premature birth when she was 31 weeks pregnant.

She often felt her stomach drop and had inexplicable pain.

Sometimes there will be some dark brown blood stains on the underwear, which are signs of premature birth.

Ye Qingtao knew that in clinical medicine, a fetus is considered mature at 37 weeks.

She was still one and a half months away from 37 weeks when she showed symptoms of premature labor.

She subsequently remained in bed to protect her pregnancy, treating herself and prescribing medicine for herself.

She seldom moves every day and also has to treat her illness. In addition, the huge belly in the late pregnancy puts pressure on her. Ye Qingtao has obviously become much more haggard during this period.

When she was 34+2 pregnant, she felt the fetal movements were quite frequent. Ye Qingtao called Gu Jingming in advance and asked him to take care of his work in the next few days and be ready to go to the hospital to accompany her.

Gu Jingming believed in his daughter-in-law's medical skills and he was also a man who listened to advice.

After receiving good instructions from his wife, he immediately began to arrange the work at hand.

Gu Jingming had already made up his mind that when his wife gave birth, he would personally take care of her during the confinement period.

It is not easy to give birth to or raise three children, so as a father he has to do it himself.

Gu Guotao originally planned to step back permanently due to health reasons.

Gu Jingming's sudden decision completely disrupted his plans.

Ye Qingtao hung the stethoscope around her neck and monitored the fetal heart rate every moment.

At 34+5, the baby's heart rate gradually began to drop, and her lower abdomen became severely swollen.

Ye Qingtao had packed her personal belongings a few days ago, and even the baby's things were ready.

She knew that her attack would occur in the next few days and had already prepared herself in advance.

When her stomach began to swell, she notified the hospital immediately and then notified Gu Jingming.

Ye Qingtao dialed the number of Gu Jingming's company and the call was quickly picked up. The moment Gu Jingming's voice came through, Ye Qingtao spoke calmly.

"Gu Jingming, I'm afraid I'm about to give birth. I've already notified the hospital. Have you arranged your work? Regardless of whether An has arranged it or not, you can come over now."

Ye Qingtao finished explaining her situation and hung up the phone without waiting for Gu Jingming to answer.

The hospital drove to her home quickly.

As Ye Qingtao lay in the ambulance, the feeling of heaviness and distension in her lower abdomen became more and more intense.

By the time she was sent to the delivery bed, her amniotic water broke.

The director of gynecology examined her and found that she was already 6 fingers dilated.

In other words, Ye Qingtao can no longer wait for the baby to reach full term and must give birth immediately.

Because her body could no longer bear the growth of triplets, a choice was made for her in advance.

Ye Qingtao was conscious the whole time she was lying on the bed.

She knew that it was not easy to be pregnant with triplets, and giving birth to triplets was even more difficult, so she was prepared from the beginning.

Ye Qingtao had delivered many babies when she was in the family compound. She knew that childbirth was painful and dangerous.

She had planned this from the moment she became pregnant.

Her life and the life of her child must not be left in the hands of others.

Even if the best doctor delivered her baby, Ye Qingtao still had to stay awake during the delivery process.

This way she can respond to any emergency.

Perhaps at the critical moment she would have saved her own life and the lives of her three children.

The contractions became more intense and her body became more and more painful.

Ye Qingtao is now using the most primitive method, digging her nails into the palm of her hand.

She kept making herself suffer to stay awake.

However, the effect of this method is ultimately limited, so she prepared two other plans.

When she opened to the eighth finger, a deep mark was left on Ye Qingtao's palm.

She turned her head to look at her palm which was almost scratched to pieces, and without saying a word, she took out a silver needle from the space and directly pierced the acupuncture points on both sides of her hand.

With the help of the silver needles, Ye Qingtao felt no pain for a short period of time.

These two silver needles are equivalent to the painless injection during childbirth in modern times.

The only difference is that others use anesthetics, while she uses numbing acupoints.

The reason why she hadn't used it before was that after the acupuncture points were sealed with silver needles, her body could not feel any pain, so naturally she didn't know how to exert force.

The cervix is ​​now eight fingers dilated, and if the baby's fetal position is good, the birth can even be completed.

It was just because she was pregnant with triplets and the children were squeezed together.

At this moment, they all exerted force at the same time, scrambling to squeeze forward.

Ye Qingtao could feel their efforts, but she also knew that this was wrong.

This will be very painful for her, and they will also cause congestion in the birth canal.

This means that the harder they try, the less they can squeeze out, and Ye Qingtao's pain is doubled.

Fortunately, she couldn't feel any pain now, but she couldn't let them do what they wanted.

Ye Qingtao held her belly tenderly and patted the children's rolling bodies lightly.

Ye Qingtao accurately found the head of the baby in the middle.

"Be good, stop making trouble."

The child seemed to understand Ye Qingtao's simple words, and his body, which had been struggling violently, instantly calmed down.

Ye Qingtao gently touched his head and spoke in an increasingly gentle voice.

"Stop making trouble. All of you line up one by one. The eldest one will push first and he will come out first."

Ye Qingtao touched the child on her left side, and then gently pinched his bulging little fist through her belly.

"Boss, you have to cheer up. Whether mom can walk out of the delivery room alive today depends on you."
