Chapter 177 Integrated Delivery Room
The pain was obvious at home and tears were streaming.
As soon as I got in the car, my stomach felt soft again.
Ruan Xingmian held her phone and glanced at the time of her contraction.
The pain comes about every ten minutes, lasting one minute each time.
She lay in Gu Xing's arms, wondering if she was having a false contraction.
"It's only 38 weeks." The due date is 40 weeks, and she was afraid that she would make a fuss and the family would make a wasted trip.
"37 to 40 weeks is considered a full-term birth." Gu Xing raised his hand and gently brushed away a strand of hair hanging from her cheek.
Baby Ruan has always loved her mother and probably wants to come out early.
The next wave of pain came, and Ruan Xingmian gripped Gu Xing's wrist tightly, his knuckles turning white.
The pain lasts for one minute, with a ten-minute break.
She was still sleepy and confused. She would fall asleep when the pain didn't come, and wake up when the pain came. It was very painful.
When you enter the hospital, get off the car and get a wheelchair first.
Even though the hospital had been disinfected, Qu Ying still sprayed it with disinfectant and then covered the bed with her own blanket.
Gu Xing carried the person up and without waiting for Qin Zhen to drag the suitcase, he went directly into the elevator to the integrated delivery room on the 17th floor.
Qu Ying booked an integrated delivery room in a public hospital in advance, which not only ensures a high safety factor in case of emergencies, but also allows her to enjoy high-quality services.
She paid the money early, and Ruan Xingmian couldn't get a refund even if she wanted to.
The nurse saw them from afar. This family was very good-looking, and the pregnant woman was young. She had come here twice before, so she recognized them at a glance. "Teacher Qu, what's going on? Are you bleeding?"
"No spotting yet, the amniotic fluid is fine, and I'm having contractions every ten minutes. Nurse, is this normal? Our baby is in so much pain."
The nurse consoled them, "Don't worry. First-time mothers tend to dilate slowly. I'll check you in first, and then we'll hear from the doctor."
"Doctor Xue is on the evening shift today, right?"
"Yes, the same goes for other doctors. Don't worry. Please check in first. The doctor on duty will be here soon. Room 1708."
The elevator door opened, and Qin Zhen came in, pushing a suitcase full of bags. Not wanting to disturb other families, he lowered his voice and asked, "How is it going? When is our baby due?"
He ran in a hurry and received a call from Ruan Ze halfway. The two fathers knew nothing about having children. They were frightened by each other and broke out in cold sweats.
"Dad, put the things in the room first."
Gu Xing pushed his wife forward, and Qu Ying took out her ID to check in.
We booked the most luxurious suite, which has a layout similar to a hotel suite.
There is a large wardrobe and storage cabinet on the left when you open the door. There is a microwave oven on the cabinet, and a private bathroom on the right.
There was a TV on the wall, a refrigerator next to it, and an orange couch in front of the window.
The pink crib was quietly placed next to the sofa.
The multifunctional delivery bed is similar to the others, with bedding having pink stripes. There is a sofa bed next to it that can be pulled into the shape of a bed so that Gu Xing can sleep here.
There is a baby bathing table against the wall of the bathroom where the baby can take a bath and swim.
Qin Zhen put down his things and went to find Qu Ying. He also wanted to hear what the doctor said. Ruan Ze called every half an hour and asked ten questions a minute. He couldn't just not answer anything.
Ruan Xingmian was still wearing her home nightgown.
There was a knock on the door, and the nurse came out with two sets of pink clothes in her arms. "Hello, these are hospital clothes. You can wear these or your own clothes. It's up to you."
Gu Xing took it and said, "Thank you."
The nurse closed the door gently.
"I don't want to wear this." She wore it until she vomited in the nursing home.
Whenever I think of that place, I think of my teacher’s wife.
Gu Xing put his clothes in the closet and said, "Go to bed first."
He covered Ruan Xingmian with a blanket and said, "The more painful it is, the more you need to relax your whole body, okay, Mianmian."
"Okay." As soon as Ruan Xingmian touched the pillow, he was too sleepy to open his eyes.
The pain in her lower abdomen always disturbed her sleep.
She suddenly opened her eyes and asked, "Can I eat duck neck? The last revelry before the confinement period."
The door opened and doctors and nurses came in pushing equipment.
Qu Ying and Qin Zhen followed behind.
First draw blood, then take an ultrasound.
The doctor was short and looked very young. His movements were quick and his tone was gentle. His every move was filled with professional confidence. "Hello Xingmian, I'm Doctor Wang. The baby is not big, estimated to be around six pounds. Can we try to have a natural birth?"
Ruan Xingmian nodded obediently: "Okay."
"You can hum when it hurts, don't hold it in, you can curse, don't be shy, ring the bell and tell us if you need anything."
Qu Ying raised her hand and said, "Doctor Wang, I saw that the hospital has an epidural. When can it be scheduled?"
Dr. Wang smiled and explained, "We recommend giving an epidural after three fingers have passed. First, the pain is bearable in the early stages, and the contractions are unstable. Giving an epidural too early will prolong labor and increase the risk of a cesarean section."
"Oh." Qu Ying looked at Ruan Xingmian with heartache, and followed the doctor to ask all kinds of questions.
Just as the doctor expected, the contractions gradually weakened.
Without the disturbance of contraction pain, Ruan Xingmian slept well.
When I woke up, I was so hungry that I wanted to eat meat even with my eyes closed.
The bed curtains were tightly drawn, and outside the curtains, on the sofa, Qu Ying and Li Xue were talking in low voices.
"Doctor Wang looks young and has good experience. Ruan Baobao just made a feint. If he had called an anesthesiologist from the beginning, we Mianmian would have suffered so much."
Li Xue chuckled softly, "Xingyue is impatient and gave birth at 37 weeks. Mianmian is patient and took Ye Lan two days and one night to give birth to her."
"Mom." Ruan Xingmian called softly.
"Hey." The two mothers stood up at the same time.
"Are you hungry, Mian Mian? The meal sent by the hospital arrived early, but since you were sleeping so soundly, I didn't wake you up."
Qu Ying pulled open the bed curtains as she spoke.
Li Xue helped her out of bed and said, "Wash up first and then come back for dinner."
"Where's Gu Xing?"
Whenever Qu Ying mentioned her son, she wanted to laugh: "I'm going to buy you duck neck from the place you like near Zhenshuyuan."
He was so anxious that he was walking around in circles, so Qu Ying asked him to go back.
Gu Xing’s duck neck hasn’t arrived yet, but Ruan Xingyue’s milk tea has arrived first.
After not drinking it for a month, Ruan Xingmian almost forgot the taste of milk tea.
One person couldn’t finish the hospital’s postpartum meal, so she and her sister ate together, head to head.
The hospital didn't need too many people guarding it, so Ruan Xingmian asked her sister to go back.
After Lu Yiman met Lu Fuchuan, he became more sincere about Ruan Xingyue's training.
Even if he felt a little uncomfortable, the old man's decision was never wrong.
Ruan Xingyue is busier than last semester.
"I'll come over at dinner time." She has a light diet and likes the hospital's confinement meals.
Gu Xing not only brought the duck neck, but also the star hairpin that Ruan Xingmian bought last time.
Colorful.
Ruan Xingmian likes it very much.
Gu Xing handed it to her and Qu Ying pinned it on her personally.
She had two pigtails, exactly three on each side.
"Are your contractions regular?" Gu Xing put down his things, washed his hands, and touched Ruan Xingmian's belly first.
"It's hard and irregular." She pressed Gu Xing's hand, her eyes smiling cutely, "Look, baby Ruan is hiccuping."
The belly shakes regularly.
I thought I would be discharged from the hospital and go home after eating and taking a nap and waking up without any movement.
I was woken up by pain again in the afternoon.
The intervals are getting shorter and shorter.
Gu Xing had been standing by her side. When she frowned, he gently stroked her belly, "Mianmian."
Ruan Xingmian's forehead ached and he broke out in a cold sweat: "She seems to be serious about it."
