Even a six-month-old baby has a hard time surviving in modern times, let alone triplets in ancient times.
An Wanwan no longer dared to run around. She stayed at home every day, lying down whenever possible and sitting rather than standing.
that's all.
An Wanwan held on for eight months.
December 19th.
An Wanwan couldn't hold on any longer. Not long after breakfast, her water broke. Feeling her pants were wet, she immediately called out to An Miaomiao, "Miaomiao, Miaomiao, I think I'm going into labor!"
"Ah, I, I'll go get the midwife."
An Miaomiao pulled up her pants and ran out of the outhouse, heading straight for the courtyard where the midwives lived, where she then made the arrangements.
Some are boiling water, some are delivering babies, and some are notifying others...
Su Yueniang and the others at the shop were very worried when they heard that An Wanwan was about to give birth, because there's a saying that life is like being born on the seventh day and dying on the eighth.
Upon arriving at the rented house.
Su Yueniang rushed into the delivery room to check on An Wanwan's condition. Seeing that she was doing alright, she pulled An Miaomiao out: "Why is your sister about to give birth so suddenly? Can't you keep her on for a little longer? This is eight months already..."
“Mother, you know Wanwan’s situation. It’s already quite remarkable that she managed to keep the baby alive.”
After finishing her speech, An Miaomiao went back into the delivery room.
Su Yueniang was worried, so she asked An Dafu and the others to keep watch outside while she followed them inside.
Because it was her first pregnancy.
An Wanwan's delivery was particularly difficult; an hour passed and she was only one finger dilated, and half a day passed and she was only three fingers dilated.
Despite it being the dead of winter, she was in so much pain that her whole body was soaked in sweat.
Su Yueniang felt extremely distressed and wished she could take her place.
"Wanwan, hang in there, you can do it."
An Miaomiao was also very anxious, but all she could do now was cheer An Wanwan on and wipe her sweat.
It went on until midnight.
An Wanwan still couldn't give birth, mainly because her cervix was dilating too slowly, but several midwives said it was normal.
Some women endure labor for days and nights before giving birth.
Several days and nights.
An Miaomiao could barely bear it that night. It was An Wanwan who was in pain, but watching her from the side made her feel pain too.
An Wanwan seemed to have no energy left.
An Miaomiao immediately made her some ginseng soup and asked An Dafu and the others to cook something for her.
An Wanwan knew that shouting was a waste of energy, so she had been gritting her teeth and persevering since the onset of labor pains. But now she couldn't hold on any longer, so she asked An Miaomiao to get some cloth strips to bite on.
I drank ginseng soup and ate something.
An Wanwan's complexion was better than before, and she gradually regained her strength.
As dawn broke.
When the first rays of sunlight shone into the delivery room.
A loud cry rang out.
Anke, standing outside the door, overheard excitedly: "Father, eldest brother, second brother, fourth sister, she's given birth! She's given birth!"
An Dafu and the others remained silent because they hadn't forgotten that An Wanwan was carrying more than one child.
In the delivery room.
An Miaomiao went to check on the baby shortly after birth. After looking at the baby, she said to An Wanwan, "Wanwan, the eldest is a boy. Apart from being a little small, there are no major problems."
An Wanwan understood what she meant and nodded with tears in her eyes.
Su Yueniang smoothed her hair, wiped away her sweat, and encouraged her to persevere.
The first one was born not long ago.
The second one was born too.
An Wanwan wanted a daughter, but her second child was a son, and he didn't cry at birth.
Everyone present held their breath.
An Miaomiao immediately performed first aid. After what seemed like an eternity, the child finally cried, but the sound was like a kitten's meow, which was heartbreaking to hear.
“Miaomiao…”
An Wanwan opened her mouth to ask, but as soon as she spoke, tears streamed down her face.
"It's alright, it's alright."
An Miaomiao gestured for the others to keep quiet, and she took the child to clean up the mess herself.
