Chapter 1372: Chapter 1399: Giving Birth to Triplets 19
All mothers know that natural childbirth consists of three steps: contractions, dilation of the cervix, and delivering the baby, with the most painful part being the dilation.
The cervix needs to widen from one centimeter to ten centimeters. Generally, the stronger the contractions, the faster it dilates, but the pain endured is also tremendous.
Li Tingyan couldn’t share Nianyang’s pain, his eyes red with urgency, and he asked impatiently, "Doctor, how much longer? It’s been so long already."
The doctor remained calm, "Don’t be anxious, it’s only six centimeters. The first birth is tough, just hold on a bit longer."
By this point, Nianyang felt as if she were dreaming due to the pain, her mind blurred, unclear about what was happening, shivering instinctively.
Li Tingyan leaned close to her ear, continuously saying comforting words, which gave her some strength, but when the doctor mentioned they were at seven centimeters, Nianyang felt as if someone had extracted her ribs.
She let out a low scream, "I can’t do it, I can’t do it, take me away..."
"Okay, okay, you don’t have to, you don’t have to..." Li Tingyan wiped her sweat, tears glistening in Nianyang’s eyes. She was never a woman to cry easily; even in past torments, she hadn’t shed tears.
The few times she had cried were because of him, and now childbirth was also because of him.
Li Tingyan never knew that childbirth was so painful. If he had known, he would have told Nianyang to abort. She’s only 20 years old, unable to endure such pain, at least until after 25.
"I’m sorry, darling..." Li Tingyan touched Nianyang’s face, crying like a child, who hadn’t cried, but he, a grown man, was crying.
The doctor and nurses were speechless "..."
It was both laughable and exasperating, whose baby was it, to begin with? Taking care of one pregnant woman was busy enough, and now here came a male version of a pregnant woman, drunk on emotion.
"Why are you crying? You’re not the one giving birth!" Nianyang couldn’t bear to see the man’s pitiful face, as if she were about to die, so she simply closed her eyes and silently counted the contraction times to distract herself.
"Ten centimeters, cervix fully dilated."
The doctor’s voice rang with delight. The first stage was finally complete.
Both Li Tingyan and Nianyang breathed a sigh of relief, and soon the baby descended gradually with the contractions. As the baby’s head descended to the pelvic floor, Nianyang, hearing the doctor’s instructions, naturally pushed with the contractions.
The doctor and nurses were busy non-stop: the doctor was observing the delivery progress, the nurses were disinfecting and cleaning Nianyang, and Li Tingyan kept a close eye on Nianyang’s condition.
Nianyang kept mindful of the contractions, tightly holding the bed handles, following the doctor’s instructions: first take a breath, hold it, and then push down.
"We can see the head now, Miss Chu, take a rest, drink some water and then push again."
Noticing it was between contractions, when the doctor said this, Li Tingyan took the water bottle to give Nianyang a drink, filled with fresh Spiritual Spring water.
Nianyang drank a big gulp, her exhausted body barely regaining some strength.
"Keep pushing, deep breath, yes, we can see the baby’s head now."
Finally enduring to the last step, Nianyang could see light at the end of the tunnel.
As the baby’s head emerged, the body was about to be born soon after.
At this time, what Nianyang needed was to continue to exert pressure.
And according to the doctor’s instructions and with the nurse’s help, constantly adjust her breathing, preparing for her last efforts.
