Many times, she was reluctant to have her family come in to accompany her during childbirth because they would only cause trouble, increase the pressure on the mother and would not be of any help at all.
Unexpectedly, this couple today is an exception.
The midwife did not chase people away as she did before. Instead, she gently guided the woman to breathe in and out in rhythm with her.
"Yes, that's it. Don't be nervous, relax."
Jianshu followed the instructions and followed the breathing with tears in her eyes. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she actually felt much better.
"Doctor, how long does it take to give birth? I heard that some people gave birth for several days. Will it take that long for me?" Thinking of this, Jian Shu's face turned pale.
She was in so much pain during this short period of time that if the pregnancy lasted a few days longer, she would die.
The more she thought about it, the more desperate she became. Jian Shu wanted to cry again, "Wow, wow, wow—what if the baby dies during childbirth? Gu Mingjing, will you marry a new wife? Will you let her sleep in my bed and beat my baby? You bastard! You forget the old one when you have a new one! You have no conscience!"
Gu Mingjing was stunned. How could he suddenly become such a heartless person as to marry a new wife and become her stepfather?
Seeing her crying so sadly, he felt distressed and angry, and kept comforting her, "No, you and Yiyi will be fine, don't think too much. Dad is outside, don't you want to have a good talk with him? You must be fine!" At the end, Gu Mingjing's voice was choked with sobs.
"Yes, my father is still alive. If you dare to be a stepfather, he will beat you to death!" Jian Shu was still immersed in a depressed mood, but when she thought of her father, she suddenly became excited.
Gu Mingjing: "...Wife, I won't marry anyone else. I only want you!" He felt very aggrieved when he thought that his wife didn't believe him.
The midwife who had been listening silently and trying not to laugh couldn't help herself, "It's okay, don't worry, your fetal position is right, you will be able to deliver the baby soon, nothing will happen, don't scare yourself!" And don't bully your loved one anymore, he looks so wronged, he's almost had to have his heart cut open to prove his innocence.
"Really...really?" Jian Shu asked with difficulty, trying to get encouragement.
She didn't believe what Gu Mingjing said, after all, he didn't understand. But it was different for nurses, they were professionals, and one word from them was more effective than ten words from others.
"Really? If you cooperate well and follow my instructions, you'll definitely be able to give birth to the baby soon." Afraid that she would start to overthink and say something that would scare them both, he added, "Focus more and save your energy for an easier birth."
With the advice of the professionals, Jian Shu suddenly regained her spirits and no longer felt that she might die at any time. She held Gu Mingjing's hand tightly and followed the midwife's instructions to prepare for the birth.
The delivery room was bustling with activity, but outside it was completely quiet.
Those who are waiting are always the most tormented.
Zhao Yueling sat on the chair, her face pale. She looked down at the time again and again. Jian Shu had only been in for half an hour, but she always felt like it had been a long time.
Only at this moment did she feel that giving birth was so scary!
"Mom, is childbirth like this? When will my sister come out?" Zhao Yueling was fidgeting and twisting in her chair, unable to help but ask Meng Ying who was standing beside her.
Jian Yucheng paced back and forth at the door of the ward, his brows tightly furrowed, his slightly red eyes full of worry.
This was the second time he had faced this kind of situation.
Meng Ying clenched her hands tightly, her eyes fixed on the door of the delivery room. She shook her head when she heard this, "We have to wait a little longer. The birth hasn't officially started yet."
"Hasn't it started yet? We've been inside for so long!" Zhao Yueling's face became even uglier, she was worried and scared, "Sister won't..." She stopped talking halfway, she couldn't say those unlucky words at this time.
Her sister will be fine!
"It's okay. The doctor said that your sister's fetal position is very good and she will be fine. Giving birth takes a long time. Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..." Meng Ying patted her hand, as if to comfort herself.
As everyone was anxiously waiting, bursts of screams soon came from the delivery room.
"Sister—" Zhao Yueling exclaimed, "Mom, it's Sister's voice!"
"It's okay, it's time to give birth, it will be soon, it will be soon..." Meng Ying clenched her hands tighter, her fingertips turned white, and she became visibly nervous.
Jian Yucheng didn't walk back and forth, but leaned against the door and listened to the movement inside.
I don’t know how long I waited, but the people outside felt that every second was like a year. In the agonizing wait, a clear cry was heard from the delivery room.
"Wow~~" The little kid who was spanked by his aunt felt very aggrieved and cried at the top of his lungs.
The others were all surprised.
"It's born!" Zhao Yueling raised her head in surprise and hurried over.
Jian Yucheng was the closest, and Meng Ying squeezed in too, unwilling to be left behind. They all waited anxiously for the door of the delivery room to open.
"Family members of Comrade Jianshu, please give me the things prepared for the child." The nurse pushed open the door and shouted.
"Here! Here!" Zhao Yueling was at the back of the group. When she heard the voice, she quickly turned around and picked up the bag that fell on the chair beside her. Then she squeezed aside the two elders and took advantage of this good opportunity to occupy the C position.
The door was quickly closed again, and after waiting for a long time, the door of the delivery room opened again.
“Shushu!”
“Shushu!”
"sister!"
Jianshu was still conscious when he was pushed out, with his eyes half open, trying hard to smile at the people surrounding his bed.
Her hair was all wet with sweat, but because she had braided it in advance, it wasn't too messy. She just didn't look very energetic and looked a little tired.
"I'm fine." His voice was weak and lacked strength.
After all, giving birth is a very draining experience. I have seen many women fall asleep right after giving birth. The reason why Jianshu was still awake was because the baby was born quickly and was not too tiring.
Zhao Yueling almost shed tears. When had she ever seen her sister look so weak?
She was like this, not to mention Gu Mingjing who had been with her during the delivery. She couldn't help crying when Jianshu was wailing, and her tears hadn't stopped yet.
Jian Yucheng was also like this. His daughter, whom he had just met, had suffered so much. She was so energetic before entering the delivery room, but now she was so weak. How could he bear it? Men don't shed tears easily, but today he made an exception again and again.
Meng Ying was the best one, her eyes slightly red. "Just hold on even if you feel uncomfortable. Get a good sleep and rest. We'll take care of everything else."
Jianshu blinked, nodded slightly, then looked aside, "Lingling——"
"Sister, I understand. Don't worry, have a good rest!" Zhao Yueling nodded with tears in her eyes, looking at her sister with heartache.
The two sisters reached a consensus, and Jianshu smiled at her father again, "Dad!"
"We can talk about it when you wake up. Dad is here and won't leave. When you wake up, you'll see me!" Jian Yucheng touched her forehead, "Go to sleep, have a good sleep, and everything will be fine when you wake up."
Jianshu took one last look at Gu Mingjing, held his hand, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
