Chapter 212 Born
In the middle of the night, Lin Qian was finally tormented by the increasingly severe pain, and could no longer sleep. She simply gave up and sat up, looking out the window bored.
Wei Xiaoran didn't dare to sleep soundly at night. As soon as Lin Qian moved, he opened his eyes and sat up with Lin Qian.
"What's wrong? Can't you sleep? Is your leg cramping again?" Wei Xiaoran brought over a big pillow and asked Lin Qian to lean on it, and was about to pinch Lin Qian's calf.
During the late stages of her pregnancy, Lin Qian suffered from leg cramps several times, and Wei Xiaoran would massage her for a long time every time.
Lin Qian frowned and moved her waist, saying, "It's okay, my waist just hurts a little."
Wei Xiaoran's hands immediately moved to Lin Qian's waist and began to massage her lower back. His internal force was condensed, Wei Xiaoran's hands were warm, and Lin Qian felt very comfortable.
Just like that, half leaning on Wei Xiaoran, Lin Qian fell asleep again in a daze. When it was dawn, Lin Qian suddenly felt a heat in her lower body, and she immediately woke up with a start.
Wei Xiaoran half-closed his eyes, his hand still rubbing Lin Qian's waist. Noticing Lin Qian's movements, Wei Xiaoran asked, "What's wrong? Is it hurting again?"
"No, but my water broke, and I'm really going to give birth this time." Lin Qian lifted the quilt, looked at the sheets soaked with amniotic fluid and said.
This time, Wei Xiaoran had already prepared himself mentally. He jumped out of bed calmly and told the maid who was on night watch.
The two maids went to call the midwife, and the one who went to notify Zhang Yufang notified Zhang Yufang. Soon the whole Wei Mansion was in an uproar.
Lin Qian acted as if nothing had happened. She asked Wei Xiaoran to change her into clean clothes and then helped her walk around the room.
The midwife arrived quickly. Seeing that Lin Qian didn't scream or shout, and only had a sore waist and stomach, but not much pain, she knew it was not time for her to give birth yet, so she went downstairs to prepare the delivery equipment.
As soon as the midwife left, Zhang Yufang arrived. Seeing the two of them walking around the room and resting, she asked, "How are you? Is it hurting a lot?"
Lin Qian didn't feel much pain at this time, but her waist was very sore and swollen. She felt like her waist was about to be disconnected from her body, and it was very uncomfortable.
"It doesn't hurt too much, just a little sore in the waist." Lin Qian said.
Zhang Yufang also came over to support Lin Qian and said, "In that case, let's go to the delivery room first. Wait until you sweat a little before going out. It's not good to catch a cold if you are exposed to the wind."
In ancient times, women were not allowed to give birth in the main house. They had to prepare a sunny delivery room in advance. They would give birth and spend the confinement period in this delivery room. They could only move back to the main house after the confinement period.
Zhang Yufang and Wei Xiaoran helped Lin Qian to the delivery room that had been prepared early in the morning.
After a while, Lin Wu and Zhao Xiu also came in a hurry, and Zhao Xiu was holding a bowl of fragrant egg noodles in her hand.
As soon as Lin Qian smelled the fragrance, her stomach started to growl.
"Seeing that you reacted so early, you must not have had breakfast yet. I made you a bowl of noodles. Eat it quickly. Don't be hungry and have no energy later." Zhao Xiu handed the noodles to Lin Qian and said.
Lin Qian nodded, took the noodles, and started eating without any hesitation.
Not long after finishing her noodles, Lin Qian felt a sinking pain in her stomach that came and went. She knew immediately that she was about to give birth, and immediately asked Wei Xiaoran and the others to leave.
She took out a bottle, tilted her head back and drank a bottle of golden liquid medicine, and Lin Qian felt the pain immediately eased. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, two midwives came over and helped Lin Qian lie down on the bed.
The two examined Lin Qian and saw that the birth canal was nearly four fingers dilated. They immediately said to Lin Qian, "Madam, you can push harder."
Lin Qian nodded, patted her belly with her hand, and said to herself: Baby, don’t make trouble for me, come out quickly, and then I will feed you milk.
Then I started to push hard.
Outside the room, Wei Xiaoran paced back and forth anxiously, then asked Zhao Xiu and Zhang Yufang, "Mom, why is Qianqian silent?"
Whenever he saw people giving birth before, they would scream to death, but when it came to Lin Qian's case, the delivery room was so quiet that there was not a single sound.
"Maybe it's not time yet. Don't be anxious. Just sit there and wait." Zhang Yufang pulled Wei Xiaoran a little impatiently and said to him.
Compared with him, Lin Wu seemed much more stable.
Lin Wu was seen sitting on a chair, his back straight, his face expressionless, as if facing a crisis. He looked calm and composed.
But if you look closely, you can see that Lin Wu's whole body is stiff at this time, the flesh on his cheeks is stretched tightly, his hands are clenched into fists, and his knuckles are white from exertion.
Time passed by bit by bit, and the sun had already risen overhead, but the delivery room was still quiet. Even Zhao Xiu and Zhang Yufang, who had experience in childbirth, could no longer sit still.
Seeing that both of them were a little panicked, Wei Xiaoran and Lin Wu became even more panicked. Wei Xiaoran was so anxious that he wanted to rush into the delivery room.
Fortunately, at this moment, Lin Qian's voice finally came out, followed by muffled cries of pain, one after another.
But it didn't last for a while, and Lin Qian's voice became softer again.
Wei Xiaoran couldn't hear any sound again, and he felt terrible. He made up his mind not to care about the rule that men were not allowed to enter the delivery room, and he kicked the door and tried to break into the delivery room.
As a result, as soon as the door of the delivery room was kicked open, Wei Xiaoran heard the baby crying, which was so loud that Wei Xiaoran was stunned.
Then Wei Xiaoran was pushed away by Zhao Xiu and Zhang Yufang. The two mothers were even more excited than him and rushed into the delivery room at a very fast speed.
Wei Xiaoran stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but he was still staring blankly at the child's crying, unable to recover from his shock.
It was not until Lin Wu shouted and asked whether the baby born in the delivery room was a boy or a girl that Wei Xiaoran reacted and walked into the room.
"It's a girl! It's a girl! We'll be grandparents now!" Zhao Xiu said with a smile.
Wei Xiaoran walked to the bedside and saw Lin Qian lying on the bed with a pale face, but she looked in good spirits.
Lin Qian smiled at Wei Xiaoran, then pointed at the big red swaddling clothes in Zhao Xiu's arms and said, "Look, it's our daughter."
Wei Xiaoran didn't even look at her. He just squatted beside Lin Qian, reached out and touched Lin Qian's sweaty hair, then kissed Lin Qian's forehead and said, "You scared me to death. I thought something happened to you. Qianqian, thank you. You've worked hard."
When Lin Qian heard this, her eyes immediately turned red. She was in great pain just now, but she didn't dare to scream out in order to save her energy.
"Wipe your tears quickly. You can't cry during the confinement period." Zhang Yufang also wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said to Lin Qian with concern.
Wei Xiaoran hurriedly wiped Lin Qian's tears: "Be good, stop crying." Lin Qian nodded, but thought to herself that she was being pretentious again.
