Childbirth has always been a perilous experience for women.
Even Chen Guizhi, who disliked Li Dan very much, couldn't help but curse Liu Dongliang at this moment and say a few words of justice.
Liu Dongliang was too ashamed to talk back. After finding out that Li Dan had gone to a nearby hospital, he hurriedly rode his bicycle over there.
When they arrived at the hospital, they learned that they were too late. Li Dan had been in labor all afternoon at the small affiliated hospital of the steel factory but hadn't been able to give birth. She was bleeding so badly that even the experienced midwife at the hospital was shocked. So, before it got dark, she was rushed to a large hospital in the city.
In the chaos of transferring hospitals, no one could take care of a little child like Liu Lai'er, and no one even noticed that she had been left behind.
Liu Dongliang came out of the doctor's office and saw a child squatting in the corner outside the delivery room. He felt that the back view was familiar, and when he went over to take a look, he found that it was Liu Lai'er.
Liu Dongliang had no choice but to pick up Liu Lai'er again and ride his old-fashioned bicycle towards the city hospital.
After more than an hour of riding, he was drenched in sweat, but finally found the right place.
A group of people gathered outside the delivery room, including factory leaders and relatives from Li Dan's family.
Liu Dongliang wiped the sweat from his forehead, took Liu Lai'er's hand, and walked through the long corridor toward the delivery room.
He walked up to the group of people, but before he could even ask about Li Dan's situation, he was stunned when her older brother punched him in the nose.
"Liu Dongliang, if anything happens to my sister today, I won't let you off the hook!"
The factory leaders should have tried to mediate, but they weren't very proactive, since what Liu Dongliang did today was truly inhumane.
A factory worker searched for him all afternoon but couldn't find him. While being transferred to another hospital in the ambulance, he overheard Li Dan's voice saying that she had gone out to play mahjong with a rolled-up set of tiles.
This is ridiculous!
As a result, during the scuffle, Liu Dongliang received two more punches to his eye sockets, leaving him with symmetrical dark purple circles.
Liu Dongliang only learned about Li Dan's situation after her elder brother from her maternal family had finished beating her.
The baby was in a transverse position and couldn't be delivered naturally. A small hospital attempted to turn the baby, but it failed, and the baby started bleeding heavily. By the time they reached this large hospital, the baby had lost too much blood and was unconscious, requiring an emergency blood transfusion and cesarean section to save the baby's life.
The baby weighed just over three pounds when she was delivered via C-section. She was a frail little girl, and her cries were as weak as a kitten's. The family only had a brief look at her before she was rushed to the pediatric ward for emergency treatment.
After Li Dan underwent surgery, she continued to bleed uncontrollably, and her condition deteriorated rapidly. Saving her life was the top priority, so the factory leaders made the decision and jointly signed a consent form for the removal of her uterus.
Liu Dongliang didn't seem to care much about it.
She has a daughter living abroad with his ex-wife, so he wasn't worried at all about not having children after so many years of marriage with Li Dan. On the contrary, he felt that her uterus was practically useless. Now that they have a child, he feels even less concerned; if her uterus is gone, it's gone.
Li Dan was going crazy.
She risked her life to have a child, just so she could have a son!
She had already boasted that she would have a son, but after risking her life to give birth to a girl, she had to have her uterus removed, which eliminated any possibility of her having a son from the very beginning.
The shame is secondary; the real problem is that she's never had a son in her life. Who will take care of her in her old age and see her off in death? Who will break the pot for her when she dies?
She was so emotionally agitated that it aggravated the wound on her abdomen, causing her to faint from the pain.
In an instant, the factory colleagues who went out to call the doctor, Li Dan's older brother pointing his finger at Liu Dongliang and cursing, and the baby in the next bed crying after being woken up, made the whole ward as chaotic as a vegetable market, with no one in sight.
Let's leave those aside for now.
Because Fang Qiao also initiated it that night.
Fang Qiao was nine months pregnant at this time, which is more than 37 weeks according to the gestational age.
Although it's not yet the due date, she's already full-term.
Moreover, due to the complexity of twin pregnancies, the closer to the due date, the more dangerous it becomes. Few twins are able to survive to 40 weeks of gestation. As long as they are born at full term, it is the best time.
Because An'an also gave birth half a month early, Fang Qiao had taken precautions against this situation. She had packed all the things needed for childbirth in advance, and placed two suitcases in the corner so that she could leave at any time once labor started.
The hospital was a large hospital in the city that we had contacted in advance, so there was no need to worry about not having a ward when we arrived.
Moreover, Fang Qiao's delivery went very smoothly. The two children seemed to have come to repay a debt of gratitude, as they were in the correct position and dilated quickly, so she basically didn't suffer.
I left home at 8:30, arrived at the hospital at 9:00, went straight into the delivery room, and gave birth to two identical little boys around 11:00.
Although the two babies were relatively light, weighing less than five pounds each, they had rosy complexions, loud cries, and strong, powerful kicking legs. They didn't need to be taken to the pediatric ward; they could go directly back to the regular ward with their mother.
The first baby to be born even "pooped" a few minutes after birth, much to the delight of the midwife who praised him for being so sensible, knowing to poop after birth. Otherwise, if the poop went into the mother's belly, the meconium would contaminate the amniotic fluid, and the mother would have to have a C-section.
After being observed in the delivery room for half an hour, Fang Qiao and her two babies were wheeled out of the operating room at the same time.
Cheng Baidong immediately came forward, leaned down and kissed the corner of her eye, wiping away her tears.
"Honey, you've worked so hard."
Fang Qiao yawned. "I'm a little sleepy."
"Go to sleep, we'll see the baby tomorrow morning." Cheng Baidong kissed her forehead again, made a spirit-gathering spell with his right hand, and quietly held her hand, channeling spiritual energy into Fang Qiao's meridians.
Fang Qiao immediately felt a comfortable warm current flow into her body, starting from her fingertips and flowing along the direction of her meridians.
Her eyelids gradually closed, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.
