Chapter 1370: Chapter 1397: Giving Birth to Triplets 17
The incident started because Nianyang had just completed the final potion test and, while waiting for the results with the experts, didn’t notice the obstacle at her feet and accidentally tripped.
Her lower back hit the counter, and a sharp pain surged through her. Her face turned white, and she didn’t have time to cry out in pain before she felt a warm trickle.
Nianyang didn’t understand obstetrics, but she understood the basic principles.
In the final days of a pregnancy, as the baby is about to be born, the expectant mother experiences regular contractions before the water breaks.
This is one of the key signs of imminent delivery and cannot be skipped.
But she broke her water without any contractions, and such premature leakage would leave the child unprotected.
Panic surged in Nianyang’s heart as she felt her belly contract quickly. The experts beside her realized what was happening and immediately called for a doctor.
The doctor designated for Nianyang’s delivery at the hospital received the news and immediately came with the nurses, placing Nianyang on a stretcher and quickly transporting her to the top floor.
Li Tingyan, busy transporting supplies outside, seemed to sense something and rushed up, hearing that Nianyang was going into labor early.
The man immediately followed in panic as Nianyang was pushed into the operating room. The doctor was examining her condition as Li Tingyan, ignoring the nurses’ attempts to stop him, barged in, "Nini, how are you? Weren’t there a few days left before you were due?"
Nianyang gasped, "I just fell, and my water broke early."
"What should we do now? Is it time?" Li Tingyan was in a panic, despite having read so much about childbirth. His mind went blank at this crucial moment.
The doctor spoke heavily, "It’s not that easy to give birth immediately. Normally, unless it’s a special case of water breaking, the baby will be born quickly; this is part of the process.
But in Miss Chu’s case, her water broke due to external factors, and there are no accompanying contractions yet, so we need to decide the delivery time based on the baby’s assessment."
Li Tingyan anxiously asked, "Doctor, will my wife be okay?"
The man’s attention was entirely on the woman, unlike some other men who only care about the baby when their wives are giving birth. This impressed the doctor.
He said, "I can’t guarantee it. If Miss Chu were already full-term, it would be better, but this happened early.
Due to the loss of amniotic fluid, the uterus will shrink and continue to stimulate contractions, affecting labor progress and placental blood circulation, possibly causing stalled labor and fetal hypoxia.
If the baby is premature, the situation becomes worse because the newborn is not fully developed and more susceptible to bacterial infection in the amniotic fluid, leading to aspiration pneumonia and a high risk of perinatal death."
Nianyang’s face was pale, her toes curled with tension, "Doctor, can I induce labor now?"
The doctor calmly said, "Let’s wait two hours. If there are still no contractions, then we’ll consider it. Miss Chu, you are relatively weak, so you can eat some nutritious food to store energy for childbirth."
Li Tingyan immediately said, "Honey, wait here. I’ll go to the cafeteria to cook for you—I’ve brought ingredients over."
Nianyang wasn’t sure she could eat, but for the sake of the baby, she could only grit her teeth and try.
Soon, Li Tingyan came up with prepared bird’s nest soup and fried eggs, coaxing Nianyang to eat.
